Mostly agreed; I played Chrono Trigger about a year or so before I first did 7. So, when I first played, I was hoping for a sort of Lovecraftian Eldritch horror mind controlling her children. Expecting to lose Cloud at some point like we lost Crono, I was expecting him to turn into a major enemy we have to beat some sense into before taking down Jenova. Heck I had thought we might also be able to get Sephoroth to join the good guys for an epic showdown…..but noooope.

Too bad, but I guess it’d have been too similar to Chrono Trigger…


I hope they do it justice eventually, but for now I dunno. Rather than world ending doom and gloom I’d really just like an Indiana Jones esque adventure with fairly small but intimate stakes.
