Oh by the way, Sorin (the Porre cyborg) had his own design as said in the video annotations. He was supposed to look like this:
Awesome.
It feel like this game was completely different than Chrono Trigger. You guys changed enough so that it is it's own game. Or was. You get what I'm saying though. It's a good thing. The overall mechanics of the characters' experience is different than CT.
There is no End of Time. No guidance, or regroup point, or guaranteed ending. It was Chronopolis but that gets taken away.
There (seemingly) is no Entity keeping time in order for them to achieve a common goal: kill Lavos.
Instead, it's all about the characters blindly taking it all into their own hands and the chaos that ensues when there's nobody to help fix it for them. And that is a chance for a lot more action and storytelling while taking up less time. That's exactly what fan fiction/games need is fast paced story with OMG parts all over the place. For what it is, it's very close to perfect. And I've only seem what's been shown so far.
Honestly I can't wait till the part where Magus commands to learn Zealian magic (from the latest trailer). I have been waiting to see that since 4th grade when I had finished the game a few times and started to actually think, what if he stayed in Zeal and learned magic there instead of learning it all with Ozzie, Slash and Flea? Would he still end up evil? Would he be as strong or perhaps even moreso?
