[quote name='blueshinra']I'm not sure I would (also note: I only just played it for the first time this year). I went in knowing its reputation, more or less, but Chrono-related WTFs aside, I wasn't prepared for the other problems that it had. I thought the plot was poorly told, and the battle system, while interesting, could've used refinement. It's also next to impossible to get the "good" ending without a guide. Also, Serge is brainless, even for a mute character, and Kid is incredibly annoying.
I will give it this, though: it has a truly amazing soundtrack.[/QUOTE]
Fair enough. But at the same time, playing it years after release isn't exactly the same experience as playing it at the time. Even going back to old favorites now I question a lot of design choices in light of how the industry has evolved since, but that's not really fair to those games.
Don't get me wrong, the game wasn't without its flaws, but it was a very ambitious and very polished (for the time) title. I'd never put it in the pantheon with Chrono Trigger obviously, but I still remember it fondly (and have enjoyed it when playing it in recent years).
