Both games I think were philosophical, and fit right in. Can't say I can judge the gameplay, since that's just a matter of habits. But CC didn't capture much in me, apart from the message the story seems to carry. While CT did. I still blame my lack of intrest in CC on the fact that it carries the Chrono name of the previous Chrono Trigger. Why do they do that??? As bad as most movies, anime and whatever else are, the good ones don't feel it's a rule to carry the name of previous good titles just because it's from the same creator.

Do they?

I hope someday in video game world it becomes trendy and lucrative to avoid the brand-annoucement title. For story based games like RPGs that is. Matters little for the rest, I guess.
