yes comrade i agree <| sep |> Many of those games are brilliant but tend to have the things you said you don ' t want . Even then I would recommend Chrono Trigger . All those games are classics and are memorable games from various series . Chrono Trigger though was a stand alone game that competed with them and often times came out on top simply because it was different in so many small ways . 13 separate endings , each depending on when you fought the final bosswhich you can do anytime , multiple different stories with great differences between them from saving a prehistoric tribe to stopping a giant floating empire from conquering the world it had a bit of everything and did it right . There are multiple bad guys who have their own plot lines through out the game and yes some are cookie cutter tie the girl to the train tracks style villains others have backstory and are conflicted , and while the ' main ' villain in the game is a giant creature that never talks you spend the whole game learning it ' s backstory and trying to stop it similar to how you learned about and fought Sin in FFX . Tldr . Chrono Trigger
