One of the most-beloved JRPGs has been turned into a musical, and my tastes have never been more catered to

Chrono Trigger isn’t the easiest game to get your hands on these days, despite JRPG fans’ enduring fondness for it. As I’ve just discovered, though, the wait for more modern platform releases is all the easier when you have this fan group’s musical version to listen to.

Man on the Internet (opens in new tab), despite the name, is a group of around 50 people, including actors, artists, writers, and more. It's given a few games a musical makeover now, though the Chrono Trigger project started five years ago before wrapping over 12 months ago.

Attending the odd musical is a delight I keep separate from my work life, so you can imagine the joy I get from writing about it on company time.

Despite maintaining contender status for the greatest JRPG ever released since its launch in 1995, Chrono Trigger isn’t the easiest to pick up. Steam is the most accessible place to nab it outside of mobile, though it took a few patches to get it in working order. Fans look upon the Super Nintendo or DS versions much more fondly, though you’d likely need to be comfortable with emulation to play them.
