As Gaspar explains, the Chrono Trigger will have an effect equal to the effort one puts into its use no more, no less. The titular Chrono Trigger (also known as the Time Egg) is a small device that manipulates the flow of causality. The group travels via time gates and the flying time machine Epoch to seven different time periods: the Prehistoric era (65,000,000 B.C.), the Dark Ages (12,000 B.C.), the Middle Ages (A.D. The player eventually may recruit up to seven playable characters: Crono, the main hero, Marle, the rebellious princess, Lucca, the genius inventor, Robo, the robot outcast, Frog, the amphibious knight, Ayla, the wild cave-woman, and, optionally, the dark wizard Magus. Along the way they recruit allies from other time periods in to defeat the alien parasite Lavos that is slowly destroying their world. The first version in 2002 listed it as the fourth greatest, the second in early 2005 as the sixth, and the third in late 2005 as the thirteenth.Д¬hrono Trigger is about a group of adventurers who travel across time to save the planet's future. Chrono Trigger placed highly in all three versions of IGN's top 100 games of all time. It is still hailed by fans as one of the greatest games of all time, despite the 'primitive' graphics by today's standards. It also makes many references to names and events in mythology, legends and history.

Other noteworthy people involved in the game development were the music composer Yasunori Mitsuda, who composed over 80% of the score, and scenarist Masato Kato, both unknown at that time but later famous for Xenogears and Xenosaga.ДЄt the time of its release the ideas behind the game were seen as revolutionary, involving multiple endings, a dramatic story with multiple character-enhancing side-stories, a novel battle system, and detailed and beautiful graphics. The game has never been released in PAL territories.Д¬hrono Trigger was supervised by a group referred to as 'The Dream Team', consisting of Hironobu Sakaguchi (producer of the Final Fantasy series), Yuji Horii (director of the Dragon Quest games), character designer Akira Toriyama (of Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest fame), venerable producer Kazuhiko Aoki, and Nobuo Uematsu (of Final Fantasy fame). The game was re-released in 1999 for the Sony PlayStation (PS) in Japan and in 2001 as a part of the Final Fantasy Chronicles package in North America, alongside Final Fantasy IV.
