You can tell this was rushed, but still has some potential as seen how additions to Dante's moveset (like dodging) was added to future games. But it's still very not good, although not devoid of enjoyment. The story has no coherence whatsoever. I don't feel like playing Lucia's route at all.

I have a much stronger appreciation for it on replay; for being one of the first games of its kind, it's amazing how much this game gets right, but also it's one of those games that has so much depth I'm still learning more about it years after my initial playthrough. The camera still sucks unfortunately, but I think anyone who likes action games needs to play this.

After playing this game I can definitely see why it's considered one of the greatest games ever made, because this game does so many cool things! It has an excellent story (which establishes itself as a proud member of the Chrono Trigger family along with Xenogears), excellent music, excellent art direction (I never would have thought a PS1 game could seemlessly fuse FMV with gameplay), and the only parts that really left me dissatisfied were basically a result of aging and being outdone by future games. This is definitely a game I'm going to replay eventually on my own terms, because I want to explore more of the battle system and overall gameplay which I didn't engage with much; I was too hooked on the story.
