You don't need to emulate Chrono Trigger unless you want to play the SNES version (fair enough if you do). The Steam version itself is fine nowadays. Same with a lot of Final Fantasy games. Obviously, emulating is cheaper due to not buying the games, which tend to be expensive.

I actually own all of them through Steam as well. I just find the emulated experience to be better. In the best case, many of the PC ports were simply an emulator with a wrapper anyway, in some of the worst cases they subtly broke the controls. Most of the PC ports from Square have been horrific historically, and while I do own all of them, I massively prefer playing in an emulator.
