General Gaming / Re: How should I pick up Chrono Trigger and FF:IV

For Chrono Trigger it doesn't matter which version you play as long as you play it. The game's pretty much the same on SNES/VC and DS so play whatever's more convenient for you. If you do a lot of gaming on the go or if you play in short bursts the DS version might be your best bet. If you sit down on your couch to play for an hour at a time the VC/SNES version would probably be preferable.
For FF IV, it really depends on how much you like classic SNES RPGS. If you like them in their original version, get either the VC release or the GBA port. They're both good, but since they were released at the beginning of the SNES' life they're a touch more antiquated than Chrono Trigger. If you prefer a modern coat of paint on your classic RPG the DS version is going to suit you better. Are you planning on playing the games back-to-back (or in tandem)? If so, you might want to opt for the DS version of FF IV just so you don't burn out on classic RPGS.
And while you're at it, don't forget Dragon Quest V!
