Chrono Trigger is like Indiana Jones.
Indiana Jones is just a middling action adventure IP that is elevated to greater heights thanks to the collaborative effort of the creative heads behind it.
Remove Spielberg, Ford or Lucas from the equation and the whole thing crumbles.
Chrono Trigger is the same thing - as an IP it's just another run of the mill RPG, what elevates it is the technical and design mastery on display borne out of the collaboration between the main creative leads behind Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
Remove them from the equation and you get Chrono Cross - just another run of the mill RPG.
