Blues I don't think I ever disagreed with you more than I've disagreed with your last post.
You're going to try to fix Chrono Cross by throwing Chrono Trigger characters into the mix as playable characters? You're going to take a mediocre game that sucks because it tarnished Chrono Trigger's legacy and...allow it to tarnish Chrono Trigger's legacy even more?
I mean there's just no way you or anyone else at Squaresoft could possibly re-imagine Chrono Cross' storyline to do any justice to Trigger. All you'd really be doing is taking Chrono Trigger -- a perfect game that stands on its own merits and deserves to be left the hell alone and cherished forever as a masterpiece -- and ruining it. What you'd do to Chrono Trigger in your version of Chrono Cross would make FFX-2 look like a comparative gem of a sequel. Your Chrono Cross would throw shit onto the legacies of all the amazing characters in CT in such a way that I'd wish Squaresoft would've just mercy-killed the CT cast off instead.
Magus and Robo and Frog and Crono and Ayla and Marle, interacting with the likes of Serge and the talking voodoo strawman and the baby dragon and the bunny-chick, all of whom have zero character development and zero personality aside from generic accents? Kill me now. (And no, I don't think there's any way you could sufficiently develop the majority of Chrono Cross' cast. The vast majority of them are absolute vacant wastelands of inconsistent accents and cliches and annoying mannerisms.)
EDIT: Also the whole Magus/Guile twist concept is atrocious because Guile was a stupid, generic, bland, insipid character whereas Magus was the very definition of a lovable antihero badass in videogaming and attempting to retcon Magus into the role of Guile is such a terrible idea it literally could induce me to vomit.
