A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

More Chrono Trigger!
Have you seen all, IIRC, 11 endings?
Honestly, nothing ever hit the same for me. Even Chrono Cross, which I'm sure tons of people love and is supposed to be somewhat of a sequel to Chrono Trigger (I mean... Final Fantasy games did this too where the stories were totally unrelated but were still "sequels"), was unable to draw me in.
Something about the camaraderie between the characters in Trigger just also felt so much more special than in any other JRPG for me. Western RPGs tend to do this a lot; Baldur's Gate 3 is extremely good at making you want to hang out with the companion characters.
Quick note, Cross is very deeply, broadly, and extensively a sequel to Trigger.
Eh officially it is. In reality though they tacked all the references to Chrono Trigger in at the end of development.
I'm not sure I've read that anywhere. Are you able to provide any sources?
I watched a few making of and other types of history videos about the series.
I'd love to see those.
The only one I could find was about them cutting Magus's storyline out since the whole game, start to finish, tied directly into it, did so from the beginning, and would have required an immense amount of writing for a non-primary character, which is why they gave him a mask.

Interesting. Thank you for finding that. I guess the videos I watched were wrong. I couldn't tell you what videos they were, it's been a long time.
There has been a great deal of speculation down through the years. Some of these interviews weren't translated until relatively recently, so for a long time all we had was speculation.
