I still need to finish this game. An insane sequel to Chrono Trigger. It feels completely disconnected from Trigger until, 2/3rds of the way through the game, it becomes explicitly connected to the events and characters of that game in a way that feels like the developers deliberately wanted to upset people. You know that character from Chrono Trigger you love? Something really bad probably happened to them.

On the other hand, the game is gorgeous, has one of the best game soundtracks ever made, and has a pretty fun combat system. It's also got something like 40 recruitable party members, which is simultaneously impressive and insane. It leads to the vast majority of your party members having no impact on the plot, but the variety is kind of fun at least.
