I've recently been on an old school RPG kick and picked up Chrono Trigger which is a phenomenal game. Any other suggestions on similar games?

Yes it is! The first 2 games. It's kind of an odd situation where the 2nd game is kind of a remake-ish retelling of the first game, sort of like Final Fantasy or Zelda, where it is different characters but same themes. I just thought of 2 more I could recommend! Grandia and Live a Live. Both fit nicely in Chrono Trigger's orbit, though none are quite as good. Live a Live just got a low up and re-release recently too.

I almost bought Live A Live at the last Steam sale but opted to pick up the Trails in the Sky series. I was a little hesitant since you don't play with all characters.

Director of Chrono Trigger, Takashi Tokita, directed Live a Live the year prior. Definitely a throughline there.
