Oh the fleeting moment after I saw the article image but before I read the headline. Why are we here? Just to suffer?

Blah, no Chrono Break! 
But on the upside, Owlboy is a great game. Have it on Steam and it's quite engaging! Definitely worth the play!

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is unironically the spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger.

the only people who hate Chrono Cross are the ones too blindly attached to Trigger to judge it on its own...

The article had me going for a moment there. I really thought Chrono Break was greenlit.

Same here. It was one of my favorite titles of 2000.

For the record, Chrono Cross is a good game. It's just a terrible sequel that goes out of its way to crap all over fans of the original.
Seriously, killing Lucca off screen? Writing Robo completely out of existence? What kind of bull crap is that?
Also it suffers from having WAY too many characters, very few of which actually matter in the long run, and several who don't even make sense to include.
I mean, why did we HAVE to track down and recruit the random alien dude? He adds literally nothing to the story other than to use his anti-gravity device to reach the final dungeon of the game.

overthinking things,
I never had an SNES so i guess i have a different perceptive and i played cross before trigger 1st. only until the chronicles came out before i tried trigger and was able to put together the links between this and that.
I can safely say cross is the reason i play jrpgs only now. Before that i was was all over the place with genres...street fighter, tecmo bowl, acme all stars....after it picked up lunar SSS and Final fantasy 8...rest is history : P

I don't even like Trigger all that much and even I have to acknowledge they did some weird stuff with Cross that makes it inferior to Trigger of particular note the battle system. For example what was so wrong with Trigger's battle system that they gave Cross that dumb color gimmick along with having items that could only be used a specific amount of times to say nothing as mentioned of having like 30 playable characters.

I thought the colored Element system was neat since they designed everything around it. As for the consumables, you can get a ton of them for free easily, and you only really needed them to cure the odd status element you get hit with here and there. I personally loved the Trap Elements, since it meant you could score some high level magic rather easily, even on your first run.
I do agree some of the recruits were really pointless additions though, like Turnip or Mojo. I assume they were trying to balance out the six Elements among the cast, but six doesn't even divide evenly into thirty-five, so they could have had it with less allies.

You must have ridiculously high standards for RPGs if you admit that you don't like Trigger.

I said I didn't like it "that much" I never said I hated it and no I don't have high standards for RPG's as I'm one of the few people who'll glady admit they liked Final Fantasy X/X2 while not being on the hate wagon for Vaan. I also like Super Paper Mario & Color Splash (eventhough I thought the combat system was eh)

Chrono Trigger was one of the few JRPGs I've ever played (via the DS port), and while I've never played Chrono Cross, the information I've read about it made it seem like a terrible direction for a sequel, to the point where it feels barely related. The worst part was the backstory: So you're telling me that Dalton, a bumbling comic relief enemy, manages to raise an army and overthrow the heroes who saved all of time? And said heroes are unceremoniously killed offscreen? Yeah, screw that nonsense. I'd love to see a proper sequel in the same vein as the original.
