How is chrono trigger not overrated?

None of the characters are very well developed or even engaging, there's little subtlety in the game and all of the side quests and encounters are completely spelled out for you with no room left for the player to figure things out on their own. In other RPG's in its era you actually had to think for more than 2 seconds to get by some of the more difficult parts in the game, whereas Chrono Trigger was generally way too easy. I also didn't feel the time travel element of the game was handled very well (I remember some chests where if you opened them in the past, you could still open them in the future for example... I know it's small but it's still kind of lame and makes the game less immersive).

I did really like that one world with the really advanced civilization that I think was around ~15000 BCE or something. That's probably one of my favorite parts of any RPG. The rest of the game seemed a lot less inspired though.

I've never thought of Chrono Trigger being rated so high in the first place. From everything I've ever seen/heard about the game, it's just a 'great game'. Anything less and it would be just a "meh, game" which hardly comes to mind when I think of Chrono Trigger.

Could be slightly overrated, but that could describe any game.

also the battle system in all of the secret of mana games was super gay, and I found that whole star ocean secret of mana etc line to be terribly boring

I admit.. I got Star Ocean Till the End of Time for PS2 and was uber excited- loaded it up told the game to STFU and move on I want some story! I got into a battle with 3 robots and died over and over and over...never has it touched my console again...

sooo star ocean dirives from the Secret of Mana/Evermore etc line? I could deal with the 2 SNES ones but not for very long I never made it to the end of those two.

I skipped wildarms2 bc I heard it was shit....but we also hear that ff8 is bearable for one reason or another.

anyhow, I liked wildcards 3, 4 is okay.. And 5 is great, I would say on par with 3.. I am just now playing 2 on psn and it seems quite good so far. Also playing through 1 on the ps2 remake and am loving it...except the scan for towns and shit...I hate that part of the wildarms series.
