I think it's more effective if they DON'T look like heroes.


True, after all - as I just learned in class the other day - what Chrono Trigger would be defined as, by nature of its focus on Crono, a normal person, is a Folk Tale. In myths there are Divine Myths concerning the gods, Heroic Saga Myths concerning heroes of nobility, and then a third category, which is not true myth, and that is the Folk Tale. Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross would fall into this category. As an interesting side-thought, so would Lord of the Rings. The Ainulindalė is then the Divine Myth, and the rest of the Silmarilion the Heroic Myth.

Every time I look here, it's tied (16-16 now).

Toryiama I think more detail was put into his characters than the Cross ones. Like V_T said they look like they should be heroes.


I'd like to see what the time travelers would look like in full battle dress.

A little like this, maybe?

Though I suppose it's only a curiass, not full armour. He's got a little more armour in this one, but it's not anime style, and the face is horridly wrong.

I was more trying to say that CC's characters don't look like heroes and this is because they aren't heroes...It's just a ragtag group of people who should have stayed good NPCs instead of turning into mediocre (at best) playable characters...But perhaps that's beside the point...

I dunno if I'd say, aside from some of their hair, that the CT characters look like heroes per say...They just look trail worn, like they really could be heroes. But perhaps this is also because CT takes place in a slightly less technologically advanced world...? I dunno.

Geez, that is a hard one...

I`d say I like both equally.

Though, I chose CC, because of Harle, Riddel and Serge, which I find to have the coolest artwork in the series  :)
