Which of these two best games is better than the other?

Chrono Trigger 21 65.63%
 
FF VI 11 34.38%
 
Total:32

So, while applying to a couple of jobs today I decided to put on the wonderful soundtrack of Chrono Trigger. It genuinely is enjoyable, through and through.

That naturally got me thinking as of how great the game is, and I was wondering as to what is the preference over on here:

The games are obviously extremely different in vibe, characters, design, battle system.. you name it. However, out of the 16-bit Era, there are few surpassing either in the world of RPG's. I sit firmly with Chrono Trigger as the superior game - it blends all its elements perfectly, and delivers the most loveable time-travel arc that I know of. FF VI naturally has its memorable moments with the opera scene... and a lot of other scenes that I will not spoil for people

...however, to me it lacks this unique CT charm. Where do you stand?

Occasionally I listen to the OST of CT. FFVI has a good soundtrack but I never listen to it. So I prefer CT.

In my opinion CT is in almost every aspect the better game than FFVI (at least FFVI has the better main villain).

I will now go to bed and listen to some OST of CT



played both of them, and i agree with you that crono trigger is really a great game with time travel, amazing visual, cool soundtrack, but on the other side i must say that ffvi was the better game for me, the story, soundtrack, everything in this game was so amazing that for me ffvi is a little touch over crono trigger...



Chrono Trigger! Chrono Trigger! Chrono Trigger!



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Chrono Trigger. Also, I prefer FF4 over FF6.



Radiant Historia... I mean, Chrono Trigger xDDD



My top two favorite games ever made.

FFVI is #1 though.



I didn't play either of these games on the SNES. Instead I played them both for the first time in the 21st century. FFVI I played on a PS1 disk, and I enjoyed it a ton. It's an extremely good game, and it might have become my favorite RPG ever if I had played it when it was first released. Chrono Trigger I played on the DS and couldn't finish it. Although to be fair I have since realized that I really need to play RPGs on a big screen to really enjoy them. At some point I'm going to play Chrono Trigger again sometime on a bigger screen and see how I like it.

So, for me it is very much FFVI that is the better game, but I may change my mind about Chrono Trigger once I replay it.



Chrono Trigger is pretty great, but for me it has to be FFVI. The soundtrack elevates the characters to such a high degree and the gameplay with the ensemble cast complements the themes of the plot perfectly.
I dont mean to plug my stuff, but I’ve made a video about the genius of FFVI in my youtube channel where I explain exactly why I think it’s one of the best games ever, if anyone is interested, check it out.

Btw, if plugging my channel is against the rules, let me know and I’ll edit it out
