YMMV / Crimson Echoes

• Ensemble Dark Horse: A case could be made for Agent 12 who, despite having a fairly minor role that could have been covered by Belthasar himself, has garnered a pretty decent fan following if the comments on the YouTube videos are any indication.
• Game-Breaker: Due to a massive overhaul/upgrade in new techs for most of the characters, Glenn and Ayla find themselves in this territory. Considering the game never got past the 98% beta, it's very possible that these characters' Game Breaker traits would have been Nerfed somewhat before final release.
• Growing the Beard: The Dinopolis Reptite timeline and beyond.
• Misaimed Fandom: The quote at the top is thrown around quite a bit on the videos and amongst fans, as well as a lot of Zeal worship in the game itself. Very "ZEAL SHALL RISE AGAIN". It's as if they don't realize there were many reasons for the kingdom's fall.
• Surprise Difficulty: Those who played Chrono Trigger will quickly learn that the game is much harder than its predecessor.
• Tear Jerker: The Fall of Guardia and Schala's fate. And, finding Marle's corpse.
  • Marle and Lucca's Flame Trials.
  • The video of one of the Developer's Rooms, where the various developers talk about their excitement for the game, how much they were looking forward to it coming out, how all the hard work was worth it, and thanking Square-Enix for making two great games for them to work from... Ouch.
• That One Boss: The Vision Serpent can be a real pain without level grinding.
  • The Eidolon. Dear God, the Eidolon.
• That One Level: The Marle solo parts. Both of them.
  • The frigging mainland rebellion. Every five seconds, another battle against the same formation of two Protos and a Krawlie...
  • More than these fights, it's the conveyor belt puzzle in the same section that's really annoying. Also, the frog hunting minigame in prehistory: due to bad coding (both the unpolished state of the beta and over-ambition from the developers, probably), makes the capture of a few frogs an exercise in frustration. Luckily you need just five to succeed.
