The frog is named Cyrus, which is a nice homage to Frog's friend.

Some of the pull characters also have familiar faces. There's a magic user who has similar features to Guile, for example.

I would encourage people who are on the fence to not be scared away by the fact it's a mobile title. It's a full fledged RPG that might as well be called "Chrono something" that just happens to have a mobile interface.

You can actually walk through this world, and it's not like other mobile games where you have to "pick-a-city from the world map". You can use the world map to fast travel to places you've been before, but in general you'll be walking from town to forest to cave to town etc.

The pull characters actually work in this game, and they don't feel out of place in a single player experience. You go to an "End of Time"-like place and draw your characters there, and they have their own dialogue. It isn't that different from Chrono Cross where you can recruit someone by going to a random town and exchanging 3 lines of dialogue with them.

Since the game's still new there's a "Pre-registration bonus character" you can find in your inbox (called Lynx mail, btw) even if you didn't pre-register.
