Also, I don't think the comparison with star wars holds for a simple reason.
Masato Kato was the most important writer in Chrono trigger.
For him the essence of CT isn't the shonen stuff but ZEAL, the scene after you save (or don't) Lucca's mom, Ayla's musings about the meaning of life, the roaring on the map while "memories of green" plays, etc.
So he decided to write a new game and push these things even further, just like georges lucas was more interested in making toys rather than The Empire Strikes back.

So yeah, I guess it sucks because people wanted a balance of these elements but it's still chrono. And it's more chrono than a game that would have been full-blown shonen without Kato's influence
