Let me tell you a story. A story of a young boy in Norway that couldn't get any of the great RPGs he read about because they weren't released in PAL. Somehow he got ahold of an imported version of FF6 through a friend and played it. Several times. He loved it to bits and for years he shouted proudly to anyone that would listen that this was the best game ever and none would ever match it.
Many years later, he played Chrono Trigger on an emulator. It takes FF6's shiny, beautiful carcass, steps on it, pisses on it, sets it on fire and comes out looking pretty fucking awesome.
Even though I had a serious romantic, rosy sunglass memory view of FF6, and I didn't play CT until it had aged significantly - it was still miles better. Chrono Trigger is so good, if God made it before he made Man, he would have stopped there, satisfied.
