Chrono Trigger 3 - With Antici...pation

My goodness, only three hours into the game, and already I'm having a tad of trouble staying within the hour's time limit. This game is pretty wonderful, and now it's finally beginning to get some shape.

I was correct in my assumption that my team was currently in the future, and what a bleak future it is. People living in broken down domes, bundled in corners in rags, looking as though they've all starved and passed on. Makes me feel so sorry for them...
But things in the actual gameplay are beginning to take shape as well. I finally have come across enemies that require more than simply waiting for your metre to fill up before you whack at them with your handheld weapon. I finally have a chance to actually look at my options and use them to overcome enemies, like using magic or combos. Stuff like that, yes.

I'm glad, however, that I stocked up on healing supplies while still residing in the present, as these lands in the future are pretty rough to maneuver through - plenty of robots who take quite a few hits to defeat and whatnot, and take a nice dent to your HP.
Chrono Trigger has, however, also satisfied my intense sorrow upon losing Frog. In the attempt to warp back to the present, the team came across Robo. I'm not nearly as fangirlish about robots as my boyfriend is, no doubt, but it makes me happy to have a high-defense team member finally along for the ride, as that's my preferred fighting style, defense.

I'm pretty excited to see what happens as we finally make our way back to the present to take on an unknown evil that is apparently responsible for the destruction and languid state of the future, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

Keep my boyfriend in your prayers, if you would, during this season of monsoons. His updates are just as important.
