and if chrono trigger came out as an indie retro game on steam in 2023 we'd think crono was a boring silent protagonist and that a random frog and robot were not very compelling?

Yeah probably. Although Chrono Trigger is a far better written game overall, the characters were not why people grew fond of that game. It was the groundbreaking gameplay and scope of narrative which no one had ever seen before. And that wonder spills over onto the characters.

I dunno if this game would be as groundbreaking back then, but the platforming and graphics are pretty advanced so far. It really needs to grow the scope soon and by a lot to come close to the impact of CT though.
