What I mean is that Chrono Trigger was like an evolutionary step for the JRPG, less linear then previous Square titles, u had multiple paths, multiple endings, dialogue options all things that are now staples of the WRPG.

I see.  My surprise came from the fact that all the qualities you mentioned were already abundant in WRPGs by the time Trigger came along, and I believe that games like Ultima and Wizardry are a greater influence on modern WRPGs than Trigger: even The Elder Scrolls predates Trigger's release.
