It's a bleak, existentialist nightmare about waking up in a world where you never existed, and you're being followed around by a giant pink dog who talks with a lisp.

Huh, I was thinking about that exact game not too long ago.

and what game would that be? Sounds cool

Chrono Cross.

Indeed.  It's an entertaining JRPG and I did enjoy it.  As a sequel to Chrono Trigger, on the other hand, it was definitely divisive.

Nothing was going to live up to Chrono Trigger.

The soundtrack from Chrono Cross has some real gems in it, though.

Well, the real problem is it had nothing to do with Chrono Trigger aside from Lucca being a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo and also

Dalton from Zeal killed off Crono and Marle off-screen which is some real bullshit.

I wouldn't consider it a good sequel at all, but it was a decent enough game aside from that and the fact that most of the companions have the exact same dialogue no matter who you pick, they just run it through an accent generator in-game so Poshul (the pink lisping dog) will say the same thing as Grobyc (cyborg assassin) except one lisps and the other 1337s (if I remember correctly). Between that and your spells being more or less completely customizable (each character has three unique techs if I remember correctly and affinity to one of the elements, but no actual spells), there's no real variety between party members.

There is a Robo cameo in Chrono Cross which is even easier to miss because:

It uses his barely mentioned name of 'Prometheus' and he is deleted almost immediately after revealing himself.

Given that one of the major writers for Chrono Trigger worked on Chrono Cross, I am kinda baffled by the latter's disregard for the former's characters.

 The CT characters can go toe-to-toe with reality-warping eldritch alien time monsters, and what's more have soundly defeated the federal justice system on multiple occasions. Just feels weird to include characters that OP at all unless they are main characters. Should have just left them out of it.

I also am just generally not a fan of RPG'S that throw a million named characters into your potential party list. That's a personal preference and not a failing of the game, of course, but it always feels half-baked to me. Give me a small, fully fleshed out cast instead.

The sheer irony of calling an inhuman, tentacled dragon knight normal seemed lost on Patrica. Without a second thought, she nonchalantly removed her knife from Tahra's freshly-comeuppanced corpse and turned to leave.

My experiments with love making appear to have born fruit. Weird fruit, sure, but fruit nonetheless.
