After many, many years, the sequel to Chrono Trigger. It is now 1020, twenty years after Crono and company's valiant efforts to save the world. The game begins on the El Nido Archipelago, located in the seas of the far south that was not in the previous game. Supposedly, Crono and friend's are regared as heroes, but I have yet to find any reference to them (I'm somewhere on the 1st disc...). There are many references to Porre and Zenan, and rarely the kingdom of Guardia. There is a very large cast of characters, boasting over 40 playable characters, however, only 3 in your party at once. Each character has their own distinct personality, and a very different reason for joining your party. The main character is named Serge, if you've seen any screen shot or movie clips, he's the one with blue hair and red bandana. He, like Crono, never speaks and meets up with many friends. The battle system has been re-created again. This time, there is a real battle screen. There are no guages to wait for, you can act using any character in your party at any time. Although it is difficult to adjust too, if you talk to your elders and listen to what they have to say, it's quite simple to grasp. So don't go rushing off into battle, esle you'll be completely confused and likely to end up dead. This is no longer a completely linear game. Depending on your actions, you may open many possibilities, and close many others. This makes the replay value quite high, because there's so many choices. Although they all end up to the same place, there's many ways to get there.
