Nothing is exactly like Chrono Trigger, it’s in a league of its own as one of the best games of all time.

Final Fantasy 6 was released around the same time on SNES, and many people debate whether Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6 are better, because they’re both great. 4, 5, and 6 are all really good. The Lufia series is also great.

From the same era but with much different gameplay is Terranigma, and there’s also the Legend of Mana series.

More modern examples of games that want to invoke Chrono Trigger are Septerra Core and Anachronox. Both are PC games, but they’re old enough that any reasonably modern PC can likely play them at full speed.
