XIII suffers from this. As soon as you put time travel into a game, it basically puts in too many loopholes. Things won't make enough sense.
Chrono Trigger says "Hey smurf you."

I have no opinion on expanding game series to books, TV shows, and other media, but game series being spread out across thirty-seven different consoles can smurf off. I'm glad I never got into the Kingdom Hearts series. I would be pissed off to no end at how many consoles I'd have to play games on.
Chrono has two games, both are based around time travel from the start, both probably have loopholes due to it but despite all that I think Chrono is a bit like Doctor Who - an exception to the rule because it doesn't take itself too seriously and, as mentioned, are based around time travel from the start rather than suddenly introducing it later on in a way that causes people to go "BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE". I haven't played both games, though, so it's hard for me to comment fully on the Chrono series.
