SpaceBear_ 07/07/20 5:00:32 PM #1:	But no spoilers for me, please. The last and first time i played I got bored after the first 65000000 BC section. I'm more into it this time round and just finished the flying magic continent bit. The battling is fun, although a lot of boss battles are easy, long and tedious. Also, it's annoying when you fail to dodge a battle when backtracking for the billionth time. Although it's still preferable to random encounter rates. I'm a bit disappointed that there's basically zero character development. How does the savage girl who can barely speak have the most personality? I'm hoping i haven't met all the playable characters yet, although i think i probably have. If not, please let me know, but no names or spoilers please. I read that i can challenge the final boss at any time and i tried that expecting to get brutally stomped immediately, but due to the boss' gimmick, this didn't happen. It seems like a cool mechanic on paper, with the New Game thing, but honestly it just seems like a cop out to give the mUlTiPlE eNdInGs. I don't usually rename characters on first playthroughs, but i was never keeping the name Robo. How you gonna name a robot Robo and a frog Frog? I called the robot Rusty. Why didn't they just call the frog Glenn? I'm sticking with Crono, Frog and Marle/Lucca for now. I'm enjoying it overall. I just hope the story gets more interesting and i hope i get more invested in wanting to beat Lavos,because right now i feel it's gonna be long and boring as shit. --- - God bless, downtime and TheSlinja.

Kuuko 07/07/20 5:27:29 PM #12:	Crono / Ayla / Robo is the most fun to me but I used Crono / Marle / Frog my first playthrough too because it felt like the game forced them into my party a lot anyway and they're the party on the cover of the game. Marle's Haste is so good too. But as others said it doesn't really matter because Chrono Trigger is a pretty easy RPG and none of the party members are "bad". --- https://imgur.com/dzGMd <cite>Kuuko posted [p:941807493] in Giving Chr...
