Okay that makes more sense.
Do they resurrect with partial or full HP and MP? TBH that does make it sound like battles are too easy (especially if you can't really avoid triggering them anyway, so you never "miss out" on fighting opponents and never end up under-leveled).
Granted easy battles aren't that bad if the mechanics are fun and the story's strong, and/or exploration is a big focus. I've been teasing maybe picking the game up sometime down the line tho FWIW, I haven't played Chrono Trigger either (well, not beyond the early parts, but this was a long time ago) and between the two it seems I'd be better off with Sea of Stars first to save the better experience after.
they come back with less HP/MP but you obviously get items later in the game that can change that as well as items you can use in battle to revive a character instantly.
it's definitely not as good as chrono trigger but if you like the idea of an TB system with input triggers, like a mario rpg, then it'll keep your attention, it starts off a little slow and it's a little too easy those are the two biggest complaints you'll get from those who have actually played the game (some of the comments in this thread are so outrageous that i'm pretty sure people haven't actually played this game).
There is definitely more to the battle system then just press X to attack like some in here are painting it, if you are to do that in the game you will lose many fights, the battle system only really opens up fully once you get a 4th party member and all the lock systems start to make sense instead of just being an obstacle it becomes a puzzle.
It has old school exploration and has many little secrets and hidden areas as well as a True ending for 100% completion, it's pretty much anything an old school RPG gamer would expect.
I'd say pick it up, it's also on both sub services, so it's easy to try.
I will say anecdotally speaking, in my old long time friend group who all grew up with me playing SNES/PS1 RPG classics, everyone i know who has played this game has either enjoyed it or loved it. I am really confused at the arbitrary hate it gets on here.
