Great write up. I played Chrono for the first time about five years ago (super Famicom version fan translated) and loved it. One of my all time favourites

I need to come back to this game and finally finish it.

Never liked the Akira Toriyama character design.

That's interesting. What do you not like about the artwork? I still think even if you don't like the artwork, it's a great game

It is a great game. I emulated it decades ago. Didn't manage to finish it, though.

What I dislike about Toriyama's character design is that it seems repetitive. Chrono looks like Goku, the cavewoman resembles the woman with two personalities. There's obviously at least one Bulma :D Magus also reminds me of someone.

I had a similar problem when playing the Dragon Quest XI demo. I mean, I'd love to play the game. If it wasn't for the corny main theme and the fact that you play as Android 19.

Ahh yeah I understand. Toriyamas art style is very distinct and doesn't change much. It's very easy to draw comparisons across all the media he's done.
