I might be in the minority, but I think silent main characters is a must for the Chrono series. It's an RPG tradition that's been dying out, but I think it's a staple of the Chrono series that could be kept. Sure it's a bit wacky, but it's also one of the series' charms. It's also great to see how creative they can get with the sprites. Chrono never talked, but you always knew what he was saying.

I hope someone makes a CTDS hack in which Crono talks. That would be so kickass.

Call me a purist, but I'd really hate to see that. It's one of the games gimmicks. It used to be a common RPG trick, but now it's so rare to see. It's kind of refreshing actually.

That's fine, you can just not play it. But I mean for those that are polar opposites to that view, they can see CT as if Crono wasn't just blindly doing everything or just mute.

Yeah. I can see that. It'd be a grueling project, but I'm sure someone out there has attempted it.

Another option I might add to a future game would be the edition of some sort of diffculty + option. Once the game is completed for the first time and you move on to New Game+ the Chrono games tend to get insanely easy. For example, maxing out the characters in CT seems almost pointless when you can easily kill everything at level 60+. So I propose that once you unlock New Game+ you should have the option to raise the games difficulty as you continue. Maybe the monsters can level proportionate to your level. I've seen certain RPGs do this.

FFVIII has done it.

And that's the only one I know.

The Lunar series has also done this.

The altogether awesome Final Fantasy Tactics had enemies that leveled along with you as well.

God I love that game.

You're not alone--FFT is undoubtedly one of the greatest games ever. Although...I don't know if we can compare its enemy-level system to other RPGs'; it's not as much of an RPG as CT...

No? It's just in a different RPG category, no more, no less.

Right--I kinda worded myself strangely: CT is a traditional RPG, FFT is a bit more of a strategy RPG. The genres are similar, but not entirely the same, the categories, however, are not.

Not to get too far off topic, but I wish they would just re-release the origin FFT for the DS.
