In the seemingly peaceful kingdom of Guardia in 1000 A.D., a young man, Crono, was chosen by guardian spirits to save the world from ultimate destruction.

Your mission in the world of Chrono Trigger is to travel back and forth through time to change the course of history, and stop Lavos from succeeding in his dark plan. On your journey, you will battle monsters and meet many helpful people in both the past and the future. Some will become your faithful and powerful companions, while others will give you clues by telling you stories. Pay attention to what they say, and good luck in your adventure.
Chrono Trigger has multiple game endings, and the outcome of your game will depend on many factors, such as when and where you defeat the final boss.
