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?

One of the best RPGs ever made. I'd jump to either the Breath of Fire series, Wild Arms, or Suikoden. All are solid, though none quite as brilliant.

I played Wild Arms back in the day and I don't remember too much about them although I did enjoy them all. Might be worth picking up again. Also, isn't Suikoden getting a remake soon?

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.

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

Holy hell, Tokita is a titan among devs. I had no idea that he was part of so many important games.
