You're not very good at this.
And, in case you've missed exactly what that is, you have admitted to claiming it's great because it's innovative, then had it pointed out that it's neither great nor innovative, then changed your tune to say "it's great because it's NOT innovative!/it's still great, anyway!"

I'm guessing you either actually were born in the early 90s or very, very late 80s and got CT as a handmedown from some older, RPG-playing relative or you were introduced to RPGs a little later in your vidya-playing life. It seems that every RPG fan's first RPG will be his favourite. And I say 'his' because very, very few vagina'd people play video games to any extent at all though, when they do, the games they play do tend to be RPGs. Anyway:

A friend of mine loves FF1 above most (all?) others.
Another loves EB above all others.
A third thinks Lunar 1&2 together on Sega CD make the best single RPG of all time (he considers them one game, for some reason).
Me? I love PS1 above most others (not all, but it's definitely the best of its generation of RPGs that I've played).
And what do all these things have in common? They're the first RPGs for each of us. People tend to romanticise milestones. First RPG is a /vr/otherly milestone.

For a game with a lot of forward and backward movement through time, it's very, very linear. Even the different endings are gotten linearly. You can get ending 1 up to the X-point in the story, then you can get ending 2 up to the Y-point in the story, then you can get ending 3 up to the Z-point in the story and so on. Woulda been nicer if the multiple endings were more dependent on what paths you chose along the way (like Demon's Crest) and how you altered the timeline by the endgame rather than how far along the story you were when you decided to kill an intergalactic, parasitic durianfruit.
