Okay, the audio drama? Overall, wonderful work. Occasionally some of the voice talent was subpar...and then there was the rare, frightfully bad voice talent like whoever was voicing Radius...but other than that, it worked beautifully. I loved how well the background music slipped in and through each word spoken, creating such an immersive atmosphere. I do have a few minor complaints here and there, though, such as the pronunciation of Solt and Peppor, which was pronounced incorrectly as Salt and Pepper, or Kid's accent, which wavers somewhat at times. Guile's voice is not entirely appropriate...I was expecting something smoother, more gentle. I know he turns into Magus, but still...
Harle's voice on the other hand is spot on, though the accent, like with Kid's, is a bit shaky.(At least for A Faraway Promise. The voice actress for A Promise Kept was not as on target, unfortunately.) Lynx...Lynx's voice amuses me greatly. And there is an error present in the script where Janus calls Queen Zeal his step-mother, when she's not his stepmother. Simple mistake easily made due to the mistranslation in the original Chrono Trigger though.
Glenn is just...odd. I'll agree to disagree about his misuse of Elizabethan English in this audio drama, but the voice...so different from what I pictured. Now, the voice used would work if he were still a frog, but as a human, it makes no sense.
Robo...I'd be laughing at Robo's voice if the situation were not as serious as it was...mainly because he sounds exactly like my sister does when she attempts such a voice...definitely not what I expected.
And it's Eye-la, not Ee-la! Porr-ey, not Poor! Sshala, not Skala! Mar-el and Har-el, not Mar-ley and Har-ley! Gah! (Sorry, but these are minor irks. I'd complain about Magus versus Majus but I don't think anyone would agree with me about pronoucning the word as Majus.)
Also, I must admit confusion as to why you decided to roll with the idea of Lucca and Janus in love. I've never seen why that makes any sense...even mellowing out of his Magus self Janus and Lucca are not exactly compatable. I frankly wouldn't see Lucca considering hooking up with anyone except Crono, and not even Crono since he has Marle. To me, it seems as if people just pair the two up because Lucca and Janus both "deserve" someone, but that is the same kind of fan reasoning that leads to slash fiction of, say, Kirk and Spock. Logically those two would never really hook up, and neither would Janus and Lucca.
And what happened to Orlha? She seemed to be included for no purpose and then just disappeared in A Promise Kept.
You know, I recommend a potential rewrite of A Faraway Promise to blend more smoothly with A Promise Kept. Right now it blends somewhat but not entirely. It might help matters...but then A Faraway Promise is huge...well over two hours worth of dialogue that would have to be rerecorded and remixed with the rewritten script. It's up to you whether that's worth it or not.
Still, overall, I found it to be a wonderful audio drama, and I am anxious to see if you will ever produce any more.
