    Default Chrono Trigger ~ Rank the characters

    In what order would you put the characters from favorite to least favorite?

    For me:

    Freddy (Robo)
    Ayla (These two are very very close)
    Lucca
    Chrono
    Frog
    Marle
    Magus

    I don't really rate Crono. He's the player avatar, so the amount of personality he has depends on how much you project on to him.

    Marle
    Frog
    Magus
    Robo
    Lucca
    Ayla

    Keep in mind though, that this rating is on a very small scale. There's only the tiniest of gaps between each character, or even between Marle and Ayla. It's rare for me to get a game where I like the entire cast this equally, but then Chrono Trigger hits rare milestones everywhere.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Oho our lists are so different :P

    Fiendlord Janus

    The rest.

    They could have also been played by Bulma, Teen Gohan, Piccolo, Lunch and Giru.

    Janus is a Mao, Piccolo is a Daimao.
    Janus uses magic. Piccolo uses magic.
    Janus wears a cape. Piccolo wears a cape.
    Janus is somehow evil and redeems, so does Piccolo.

    Chrono is all lightning, Teen Gohan is the first SSJ2 and features lightning aura.
    They have similiar hair.
    The wield or wielded swords.
    They have a similiar Gi.
    They have or had a headband.

    Marledia's outfit is close to Bulma's desert outfit.
    Lucca is a brilliant inventor and daughter of a brilliant inventor, so is Bulma.
    They both repair A.I.s, Lucca repairs Prometheus, Bulma repairs C16.

    And Ayla looks like the second Lunch.

    Frog
    Everyone else

    I loved when he chopped that mountain in half I had never seen a Frog do that before. He also has a ridiculously awesome theme tune.

    Am I the only one who likes Ayla

    Alright people, worst to best, not best to worst. Why does no one here understand this!?

    Marle: Yeah, I don't like Marle. She's not bad, just kind of dull and generic.

    Lucca: A fair few steps above Marle, she's actually enjoyable and come games end has a great moment with Robo.

    Chrono: Great use of a Silent Protaganist, though not up to par with BoF II's, they do a good job at giving him a strong personality without saying anything.

    Ayla: Ayla is great. Bisexual Cavewoman ftw! Strong, Smart (For her time at least), and joyous.

    Robo: Robo kicks ass. I've always had a soft spot for Robots with a personality, and I love his ability to keep his spirits high even considering the future he comes from, and the premise that he may not be alive once he returns to his own time at the end is amazing.

    Magus: I love me a good Tragic Character. For all his magic supremacy, he failed in all his endevours, yet keeps fighting forward to fulfil his revenge. By no means a good guy, it's kind of funny his purely selfish desires are for the betterment of the world.


    Frog: Okay, Frog is smurfing awesome. One of the single greatest themes in game history. Tell me you don't get immidiately pumped for an epic adventure when that tune kicks on?

    I really like Ayla's character, but there are certain design aspects about prehistory in general that really annoy me, and it kind of rubs off on her. I really loathe the "me caveman, use words" speech style. It grates on my nerves, and makes the characters seem stupider than they actually are (ignorance I can accept, stupidity gets on my nerves). Ayla is also probably the least intelligent of the party, and that annoys me somewhat too. Plus, while the game's score is generally awesome, prehistory has my least favorite tracks.

    Finally, there's the way the game compels you to take her along because she's the only one who can steal from enemies, and almost every boss has an item well worth stealing.


    But, as I said, I like her. I like all the cast. I just like the others better.

    Just throwing this out there, my post was listed worst to best.

    That is all.


    Okay, Robo...
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    And Lavos is the Final Boss of a Time Travelling Story while Cell is the Final Boss or main antagonist of a Saga that involves Time Travelling. Lavos with his first inside-shell form also looks similiar to Cell in his first non-embryo/egg/cocoon form. And they both get stronger by absorption/collecting/copying DNA, Lavos with its spawns, Cell with his tail. Cell can also spawn Baby Cells, that look like a mini version of himself, except they don't have anything to do with absorption.
