Chrono Trigger 2 - Amateur Stealth

 So my boyfriend decided to post an extra blog post for his second hour due to expected bad weather, so here's mine, a tad afterward.
I'm unhappy. My little family of fighters has been broken into pieces.
...Well, maybe not literally, but it always pains me for a member of my team to leave, whether they are switched out for someone or not. Poor Frog has left my team after we're able to find the real Queen and return her to her rightful place in the Middle Age Guardia Castle. My strongest team member, gone. ; n ;

Fortunately, access to the present is quickly achieved afterward, and as narcissistic as it may seem, I feel like I should be praised for not wasting more time in the fair, as I was required to pass back through it in order to return Marle/Nadia home.

I found it rather interesting to be arrested so hastily upon returning the Princess, and even more interesting that the game kept a record of all I had done, or hadn't done, during the fair, such as returning a girl's cat or eating an old man's lunch. I'm curious as to what would have happened to me, had I been more guilty than I was considered during my trial after arrest, but regardless, I was sent to jail, as close to 'not guilty' as I was. Which brings me to my currently favorite part of this game - your ability to move around your enemies.

I have always been so used to walking about in a dungeon in Final Fantasy games and simply waiting for that inevitable "WOOOOOOOSH" that comes when you have an enemy upon you. Those moments used to more-than-often scare the living shit out of me, and occasionally pissed me off, as I was sometimes not prepared to fight, or simply didn't wish to, so this feature literally made me smile from ear to ear when I found out I could sneak past guards and giggle as I was making my breakout from the dungeons instead of having to battle each and every one of them - alone.

So yes, I was able to to escape from prison, met up with Lucca, who had come to save me, just a tad too late in the game, and defeated their dragon tank.
I must say - The Guardia royalty are quite brash, allowing their princess to run away and chasing after her and her team with the intent of double re-arrest. Because of this, my team was forced to travel through time again to a place that I would presume to be the future, and quite a bleak future at that.
That is where I left off my journey.

So far, this game might just prove to be worth the summer.
We'll see how things go.
