You can train and battle monsters at the arena to earn items and equipment, and you could even battle against a friend over wireless Internet. The good news: the mobile port is based on the DS version sans animated cutscenes. The bad news: it was a hot mess when it launched, and remained so for quite some time. The touch-focused U. Fortunately, improvements have been made, slowly-yet-surely, and the mobile version is now highly playable.
The animated cutscenes were restored in , and players now have the option to turn the graphical filtering off. The U. The Steam version is the one that surprised me the most. I purchased it day one and was horrified when I saw that it was essentially a port of the bad mobile version.
The forced graphics filter was in place, the font was hideously generic, graphical glitches were noticeable even early on, and they even maintained the touchscreen-focused U. To this day, this is the only game that I requested a refund for on Steam. It was a complete disaster of a port. While preparing for this article, I started the Steam version up again it was part of a bundle of games I purchased early this year and was shocked by how much it had improved over the last two years.
Square-Enix diligently patched the game numerous times after its disastrous initial reception, and I am happy to say that it now looks and sounds like proper Chrono Trigger. The Steam version has all of the content from the DS version with the exception of the Arena of the Ages. I still have some minor gripes about the presentation, such as the decision to put health and ATB bars next to each character, giving battles a more cluttered look than necessary, but overall this is a very good version of the game.
The music quality is accurate to the original and does not suffer from the downsampling that affected the DS version, so in some ways this is the definitive version. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. The DS version has a fantastic dual screen presentation and can be played on the go, but the music quality takes a slight hit.
The Steam version has a couple annoying U. So grab your DS, log into Steam, heck — pop that cartridge into a Super NT, even — whatever it takes to play this wonderful game and be in awe of how well it has aged. Subscribe Now. I tried DS version first but I found the screen is too small.

If you bought the game once, misplaced your cartridge seven house moves ago and want to play again, we're not going to say it's entirely legally justified but I think you can be happy that the developers got their reward from you for their hard work. We're also not going to link to any emulators or ROMs but you seem like a smart person so we'll leave the rest to you.
This is probably the best of the non-original software for Chrono Trigger. The port team, made up of members of the original development team, conducted a labor of love to get everything looking as good as possible on the handheld's tiny screen. They also used the dual-screen to reasonably good effect, getting all the menus off the main screen and letting the original art really shine. It'll work on a 3DS, too so you don't need to go hunting for an old DS, and is perfect for playing on the go.
The original PlayStation version of Chrono Trigger includes a bunch of extra features not present in the original, such as anime cutscenes and special extras available after completion.
