"Chrono Trigger" was produced in 1995 by Kazuhiko Aoki and directed by Akihiko Matsui, Yoshinori Kitase and Takashi Tokita. The development of the game was dubbed the "Dream Project", because it was headed by a "Dream Team" composed of supervisor Hironobu Sakaguchi, of "Final Fantasy" fame, as well as freelance supervisor Yuji Horii and character designer Akira Toriyama, both of "Dragon Quest" fame. Yuuji Horii worked on the general outline of the story; as a fan of time travel fictions, such as the TV series "The Time Tunnel", he focused on a theme of time travel for "Chrono Trigger". The outline was then finalized by story planner and script writer Masato Kato.
