KCF's Chrono Trigger (DS) Playthrough

I played this game and beat in once for the SNES around 12 years ago. I am ashamed to admit (or am I?) that it is one of the few games/books/movies that I have played/read/watched that I hardly anything regarding the plot, so this is almost like playing it for the first time. I have had the DS version for almost a year and decided it was time to give it a go. Everyone goes nuts over Magus, Frog, and Chrono, so I am curious to know whether everyone is full of **** or there is some merit to their praise
