Chrono Trigger
From Grom358
Party: Upto 3 party members. So far the party members have been based on story line, but always include Crono.
Battle System: Uses Active Battle System. Instead of taking turns, an attack gauge fills up and once full you can make a move. The system has two modes Active and Wait. The only difference I have noticed is wait will pause these gauges while selecting tech, items or targets. The speed at which the gauge fills up is based on the characters speed.
Turns consist of Attack, Tech or Item. Tech are your special moves and use up mana points. The interesting thing about techs is double and triple techs link up with other party members. Double tech links up two characters for special move and triple tech links up all three characters. For example, Crono has an area of effect attack called Cyclone and Lucca has Flame Toss move. When both Crono and Lucca have full attack gauge you can perform the double tech called Fire Whirl, where Crono performs Cyclone with Lucca adding Flame to Crono weapon.
Also there are three types of techs. Single target, area of effect and line attack. Area of effect will attack all enemies in a certain radius (eg. Crono's Cyclone). Line attacks will attack enemies in straight line from selected target. It is best to target enemy at end of the line since some line attacks only attack from you to the target.
Each character is aligned to certain magic element for tech moves. (Eg. Crono is lighting)
Equipment System: Weapon, Helmet, Armor, Accessory
