I read it. I enjoyed it a lot, actually. Still don't think that saving Crono hurt the story at all. The game was loosely set up into episodes (the game save titles were what made me feel this way). Crono was away for a significantly large amount of time, when I played it back in 1995. I had enough time to mourn over his death. When it was revealed that there was a way to save him, I was overjoyed.
In other media, I would have to agree. If Optimus Prime dies, he needs to stay dead....at least until the next movie. In Chrono Trigger, Marle, Lucca, Robo, Frog, Crono and Ayla (fuck you, Magus!) were my friends. We saved our friend. In the end, that was more important. Story impact be damned!
