Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger is a turn-based Japanese RPG. Young Crono must travel through time through a malfunctioning teleporter to rescue a companion and take part in a web of past and present perils. The adventure that follows soon unveils an evil force set to destroy the world, and Crono races to change the course of history and bring about a brighter future. You explore several eras, including prehistory, the Middle Ages, the present and a ruined future, and events in one era change the others. The party has up to three active characters, and each character has individual techs. Techs can be combined into double and triple techs when the right characters are together. Battles take place on the same map where you explore, with no separate battle screen, and enemies are visible before you touch them. Time gauges in the battle system show when each character can act. The game also has multiple endings, which you reach by finishing the story at different points or after a New Game Plus start.
