I have to agree that it's not the best game ever.
But, once again, it has a great soundtrack. As I've mentioned before, I taught myself to play the flute by playing sheet music printed from the midis.
Also, while not the best, it has great playtime in it. After the first time through, you are ready to own any boss in the game, so it's not hard, the game actually becomes pretty easy. But you have *shifty* MULTIPLE ENDINGS. Just like Chrono Trigger. And you have the choice of completing the game at any point.
The initial story for CC was great. However, they didn't connect CT and CC like they should've. THey were extreemly weak in that department.
