Ideas on how to improve a game; any game of your chosing.
Originally posted by Reality:
Chrono Cross - Battle mechanics are very interesting with the field color, stamina system, and the turn elements. However the game is crippling easy, and after a while, I think most people stop playing around with the depth it offers when they release fierce over and over will plow through anything. Needs to be way harder. To accomadate this, it should give the turn elements to your grid/inventory right from start, to encourage smart play. One of the reasons game is so easy is because it doesn't use experience, instead you get "star" points at the end of bosses. This is good and bad. It prevents grinding/being underleveled, but actually goes to far in the other direction and gives you TOO much stats in most cases.

The giant cast of playable charathers are both a good thing and a bad thing: The main bad thing is outside of their recruitment/sidequest, you realize that they all have the same dialog (just with an accent generator) which feels unnatural: the story doesn't NEED to drastically change when you playthrough entirely with demi humans, but it's a little eerie/souless to have every party say the same thing.

Another common complaint is that the connection to Chrono Trigger is half-hearted. It acts as a sequel in some ways, but in other ways it backs away toward "alternate history/gaiden" with the planned inclusion of Magus being the worst offender.

Finally their is other plot cleanup. It is a convulted story, but I personally think it's pretty interesting the way it is. I do think that the role of Belthasar should be de-emphasized though. Arguably he literally plans everything and traps everyone else in a time loop. I think the fate of the dragoons should be made a little explicit in home world, I mean you hear about it through the Porre charathers and see their bodies before Miguel, but it should have been used to build up Lynx by showing him leading them on a suicide mission to get the frozen flame and really make you consider why he manipulates them again in the alternate world. Harle is one of the game's more important charathers, but her final scene where she reveals she has been working with the reptiles is bizarre. She knows that Kid has been poessed by the planet and is going to use the frozen flame for the sake of the reptiles/destruction of humans. But it's not really clear why she still combines with dragon god. Did she want neither dragons/fate to win? Did Kid start something that made it already too late? Or does she just knock kid out and choose to do it herself? The game kind of hints at the third one, but it kind of contradicts her charather development in the boat cutscene. Her whole loyalty to "lynx" despite knowing that a different person in control of the body is fine. I get why it annoys some people, but it makes sense if you consider that it was useful to manipate FATE. I guess they could show that FATE knows that his minion is plotting against him and "explain" why she joins you due to him being able to safely discard her once he obtains access to the frozen flame. But personally I don't think that needs to be explicit. The plot point about lavos having already absorbed the dragon gods should probbably be removed entirely, mostly since it would hinder developing Harle further... she would just be an essence too. It doesn't really change the need to fight him him afterwards.... Also it kind of ruins the cutscene after the desert is turned to a forest in chrono trigger where robo describes the "entity" is much more interesting than "humans ruin environment and are spawn of alien, must destroy"

I also really feel like they really, really want Kid to be the main charather instead of Serge. It doesn't help that he's silent of course, but really other than the first trip to the alternate world where he finds his own grave, you don't really get much out of him. It would probbably require making Leena vs Kid as love interest less open ended, but that's a worthy sacrifice if it will inject some emotion into the story. The game has emotion in its side stories and emotion directly channeled from the player to the original chrono trigger charathers when they show up, but serge/harle, are rather disapointing given that they both make sacrifices.
You should be hired to make trumps wall, because ya made a wall of text so big trumps wall wouldn't surpass it without you.

Would it be too much to ask if mods that move threads comment their reason?
