It is a shame how much crap this great game(Crystal Bearers) is getting.

"Over the top cutscenes - This is a problem I have with the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole since the CGI age. It seems to me that they are trying to make the cutscenes more "EPIC" than they should be, and in my opinion that is something that degrades the story of the game, though as I will be mentioning later the story is probably the best part of the game excluding the adventuring aspects."

But those are things the critics actually like.

"Chrono Cross in its own right was an amazing game but people saw Chrono and just assumed it would be JUST like Chrono Trigger."

No. Square actually claimed it was going to be a direct sequel. We didn't just assume it would be just like CT out of the blue (not did we assume it would be "JUST like" CT).

Right.  I said it wrong.  If it was not called Chrono and they did not say it was a sequel it would have had a much warmer reception.  We did expect it to be what they said it was, which in some cases it was not.  That is the same here (in regards to the name).  People see FF and just expect something that this game is not (nor is it MEANT to be).  Just like we saw Chrono and expected it to be the same (even if they didnt call it a sequel people would have still expected the same)

If they had called it "Radical Dreamers", and said it was a remake of the Super Famicom adventure game, which is what it actually was, I do think a lot of us would have taken it better.
