but how did he manage to wrestle absolute control over the franchise? how come Square gave him the full reigns? Atleast during Radical Dreamers, they didnt soley write the entire plot. They had several peope helping out with it and it resulted in a really engaging visual novel.

Chrono Cross suffered in story because Kato was the only one who wrote it, as far as I know.

You would think he would at least hire Toriyama and the rest of them if he wanted to have a go at it. Even Square could benefit by at least keeping in contact with the old order.
I just wonder why they let him act like such a fucking stuckup asshole. Outside of the story, CC itself even feels like an unfinished prototype. And I got a lot of bad vibes from the whole game before even arriving at the plot dump towards the end.
All of the visuals, while really beautiful, have a really cold feeling behind them. Its kind of hard to describe why.
