I have about 4 or 5 hours and something minutes on the chapter "The Time Egg". Oh yes, I am doing this on the DS. three of my characters are now ** (crono glenn and robo) and secondly, i ignored the unnecessary NPC's (excluding one time only places like Kingdom of Zeal) and treasure (same for one time only places) and here I am nearly at the ending of the game with 5-6 hour! and get this, i didn't change their equipment at all and yet they can still defeat the bosses...except the lavos first encounter. I just ran through the game with a breeze. My original idea was to view all endings again. Maybe I will do that again. *sigh* Something about this game just keeps you playing. Even Giga Gaia didn't stand a chance! One single Luminaire would wipe out its hand! And thirdly, Ayla now has her ultimate fist technique that can inflict 9999 damage at critical.
