The Steam version of Chrono Trigger received its fifth and final major update today

They said the final major update, as in they're now done adding features and adapting the port to better fit the PC. Bugfixes for outstanding problems are still not out of the question.
Somewhat proper widescreen (it's Hor+ but Vert-). Nothing is stretched. Some areas which aren't big enough to fit the whole screen have black bars on the left and right.

There's actually not too much vertically clipped in widescreen. Do try both, though. Some prefer the game exactly how it was.
CT only supports a handful of predefined windowed 4:3 and 16:9 resolutions. Full screen mode will put the game in 16:9 automatically and attempt to stretch it to the display.

Looks like you gain about twice as much horizontally as you lose vertically - though I'm not sure why they're cropping anything.
Nice one, should be pretty solid then! Maybe can get a Reshade scanline filter on there too
That may actually be similar to how much was clipped in vertical space on the DS version, so may not be missed too much anyway for the gain in horizontal.

There's a couple filters like that already, including one for scanlines, ambient lighting, and more. One guy on Steam has several good examples from around when the game was first launched. The scanlines really helped iron out the tile seams before the unfiltered graphics were made available.
Here's a before-and-after:
I sprung for this because it's 50% off and everyone hails it as one of the best RPGs ever (I was too young to appreciate JRPGs in 1995). My only question is this; the SNES cartridge couldn't have been more than 32 MB right? So how on Earth is the Steam download 800+ MB? Did they redo a whole bunch of stuff in "HD"? I only bought it because Kotaku posted an article saying how they released the original assets, which is how I would prefer to experience it regardless.
I refunded this game 3 times already.
There's too much stuttering when moving left and right. VERY JARRING.
Also it looks terribly stretched out and excessively blocky.
I'll stick to this:

This includes the animated cutscenes from the PS1 version, which is probably the reason for most of the space increase.
