One of the defining characteristics of Chrono Trigger is that it didn't have an angst filled main character like many of the 16 and 32 bit RPGs had. It also really didn't have a contrived love story and was really just a big adventure to defeat the "bad guy"..or at least thats how I took it. Granted I first beat Chrono Trigger about 3 years ago so maybe I am not looking into it as hard as someone younger playing it but the lack of all of those elements (which are often done badly) was one of the reasons why I love Chrono Trigger for what it is.

It was a great game back in the day but the story is just purile shit to me now. Sorry but it is.
