They didn't put as much care into the DS version as people like to think. The extra content clearly lacks the quality of the OG stuff (I remember weird things like pretty spotty hit detection and a spot or two where the enemies took ages to get into position for battle). Also there are weird oversights in the main game, like 2300 A.D. being revealed on the map before you're supposed to learn about it, Marle always being the default character in swap situations when the SNES version actually routinely swaps the default roster depending on the given change, and I had erratic enemies like Slash somehow get locked in a corner on DS when they were much more stable on SNES. Even Tom Slattery's retranslation was only barely better than Ted Woolsey's since he admitted that he wasn't as familiar with Chrono Trigger as his other projects and he had to simultaneously do more research while at the same time balancing Square Enix's deadlines. At least it's the best version of the game with the animated cutscenes.
