If the first time you played Chrono Trigger was on a platform other than the SNES and year after it was released, your opinion is likely going to lack the context of the era and how they compare to other RPGs of that era. You can't expect a SNES RPG to have a massive real time action heavy battle system like FFXIII.

FF13 also has a really repetitive combat system.  The second post you'll see someone state they play it manual only, and that's how you have to play it sometimes if you want to play most efficiently, but even when playing manually you have a variety of skills and other than synergist and saboteur only one or two of those skills will be useful depending on your situation. 

It's not like playing the game manual makes the gameplay change or anything like that.  It's people who try to make you feel like you're playing it wrong   The ones who have to feel like they're superior gamers when they're probably not.
