Oh alright, but next question, what do you guys think about Chrono Cross and should I play it?
-
@p @redneonglow @Jojothegoodperson They were not allowed to use any of the OC character designs.
Here is Chrono with the serial numbers filed off.
-
@Jojothegoodperson @redneonglow @p The story falls apart and legal wrangling prevented the requisite fan service and a satisfying conclusion to Crono Trigger's last dangling plot threads.
I would not call it "horrible." The team was talented, the effort was there and the mechanics were sound. It was simply mediocre compared to its predecessor and didn't accomplish what it set out to do.

> legal wrangling
I didn't know about this part.

@SilverDeth @redneonglow @p
So you're saying that narratively, it's a horrible game?
-
@Jojothegoodperson @redneonglow @p Chrono Cross is a sad story. :/
The problem with the "Dream Team" is that you can't get them back together again for act 2. You had different groups owning different parts of Chrono Trigger, and that caused... shall we say... narrative problems.
Tthe team's vision exceeded their reach - and in creating a bazillion characters, they could not even hope to properly flesh them out - let alone conclude Janus and his sister's storyline in a satisfying way.
Which was arguably the entire point of the game.
Frankly, Magus should have been the main character of Chrono Cross. But I think there were legal problems and nobody kept the dev team in check and on track for what the game was supposed to be.
