No, it can't be like Chrono Trigger because it doesn't have Roly Poly's. When you get right down to it, the layout of the fight screen doesn't really matter (although it helps if it looks nice). If it uses something like ATB, then it's like Final Fantasy... if it uses something like ATB but doesn't go to a separate level for fights (which is probably the easiest system to script), then it'll be like Chrono Trigger. But if it doesn't use levels, it's nothing like Chrono Trigger, or Final Fantasy, or any menu-based RPG I've ever played. O_o

I personally don't like the Pokemon-style "you attack and then I attack you, lather-rinse-repeat" system. I prefer FF-style combat, which allows for many more intricacies (like haste, stoning, once-per-battle summonings, etc). I'm hoping this server will gravitate towards FF-style.
