A personal part of my experience with Chrono Trigger is that I accidentally bought it.

I meant to buy FF anthology for ps1, but bought FF Chronicles. Looking at the cover I'm not sure how. I couldn't have been older than 9 so.

Instead of new FF games I got FF4, which I already owned and some game I never heard of that's not even an FF! Who even made this thing??

'oh shit, this game seems really cool?'

This sort of thing could happen all the time back in the day, partially cause I was younger.

I think the last time I got such a pleasant surprise was when I started playing Falcom games like Ys 8 and Trails in the sky.

Feel free to share any occurrences like this new and old!
