    "This was, still is, and I'd imagine will forever be a game that stands the test of time, and given the platform it's a game that still stands out graphically, even now performing better than most 2D efforts on DS. The storytelling is beautiful, the gameplay is turn-based and filled with both random battles and user-initiated ones, but the flow of it all is one that keeps things moving and entertaining throughout, and more than anything else it's just a game that feels amazingly alive..." — IGNIGN: Chrono Trigger DS Review (November 20, 2008)
