Mostly people are nostalgic for specific games because they played them in a special time in their lifes. Those early teens where you start to appreciate more complex stories, where you have the time and motivation to spend hundreds of hours on a game over a summer, maybe with your friends sitting near you all experiencing the game together for the first time. And as bitter as it sounds: There might be better games around now, but no game will be able to give you that experience.
Idk, there’s been plenty of good games, even jrpgs after Chrono trigger
I last had this experience with Nier Automata. Fantastic game, great rpg, throws you curve ball after curveball.

For sure. But the article frames the game as this super special unique game. Which is argue is not the case.
(I love Chrono trigger)
