  • Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars might work. It’s going to be difficult (fear the spear) and you’ll want to use those items, but it is overall easier than Chrono Trigger. And it has a remake coming out soon with some system changes.

    Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was intended for your situation, but it’s balanced in all the ways you dislike.

    Otherwise, possibly the very easiest remakes of old games like the Final Fantasy 4 Pixel Remaster.




  • Nothing else reaches the same quality as Chrono Trigger in the same way. You have to settle for lower quality with similar pacing, or try to reach the same level of quality in a different way.

    Similar pacing, lower quality: Phantasy Star IV, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy IV
    Comparable quality, different style: Earthbound, Final Fantasy VII (FF6 is the real answer, but FF7 is the most similar game to FF6)
    Similar aspects, lower quality: Dragon Quest IV, Radical Dreamers & Chrono Cross, possibly Radiant Historia
