This one is more of a "shame on me" moment, I was so blinded by the idea of a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger that I decided to go into this 100% blind. This was a mistake.
A spiritual successor only in that the two games have a similar combat system. Otherwise they are not even remotely similar. The dull story, bland characters, and one note soundtrack truly make mockery of the phrase "spiritual successor." Nothing about this game marks it as any sort of follow-up to Chrono Trigger. A game is more than just its combat system, and mentioning Chrono Trigger in the same breath as this game is laughable at best, insulting at worst.
The game may be Setsuna, but I most certainly am not.
(This joke doesn't really make sense in this context.)

This game marks a true dark turning point in the Paper Mario franchise. From this point on, do not play. Do not look at. Do not even acknowledge the existence of any game past this point.
Truly one of the worst games ever made from a company that should have known better, this game marks the end of the Paper Mario series for the worst for long time fans. Do not look upon ye, for all there will be is despair.
