I simply adore this game. I am so glad they didn't just make a boring "Chrono Trigger 2" where Crono and Marle trek through time yet again. It feels like the disjointed ramblings of a high school philosophy student at times, which can make for some absolutely fascinating reading. I know people feel annoyed that the game 'undoes' Chrono Trigger, but I think it does so in a fascinating way.

The only thing I would change about it is that it sucks how there are 40 characters but only a few of them receive any actual characterization. I get that it's hard to write for that many characters, but if this game were to be revisited (well, again), I think one way they could expand on it would be to give some of those side characters some significance. I want to know more about Mojo, dangit!

Oh, and this game also has the best OST ever. A must play.
