Chrono Trigger was one of the few games I considered playing again....

Okay, I had a much harder time against Black Tyranno than I did against Magus.
Though I lucked out with a few barrier changes against Magus.

Actually a weird complaint I have with Chrono Trigger - I really don't actually like the art for it because it just doesn't look like the characters to me. I guess that's more of a slight against the spriters than it is Toriyama, but when I see, say, Magus's sprites I really don't at all see him as long-haired Picollo.

I don't see it as a slight on the sprite work. In fact, the sprites have some much charm and you spend so much time with them, that their style just doesn't translate when you see their official art, and Magus is probably the most affected character in the game. This is the Magus I think of when I think of Chrono Trigger. This is just some anime character to me.

I made an Epoch discovery last night.
Ha. Ha.
(I still say it looks like it should be pronounced “Ee-Pock”, instead)

Funny that you mention Ozzy, Slash, and Flea the Magus henchmen. My first time playing Chrono Trigger (before New Game+) I had always thought the world map music for the Middle Ages (where Magus and Frog are from) was the best 16-bit music ever made. 25 years later in my 30's and that thought hasn't changed, like I'm gonna put up the YT video with the extended 30 minute cut and literally listen to the entire 30 minutes right heah boiee aww shucky ducky quack quack! /BookerT
EDIT: and I really hope the nostalgia factor that Square-Enix is producing "High Score Girl" (a new anime about a girl who is a Wizard at Street Fighter II Arcade in 1991 when it comes out and also features a bunch of retro games every episode) covers Chrono Trigger, they really haven't done too many Square SNES games on the show...

Pretty sure I’m at Giga Gaia’s doorstep, and I am absolutely terrified about this fight.

They went down shockingly easy once I figured out the right stat against them. Gave everyone ruby armor, because the Golems’ fire attack sucks otherwise. Replaced Marle with Frog, because he has an AOE Heal, which his job is to Spam, Chrono spams Luminaire which does over 1k damage each, and Ayla does physical attacks, and tosses the occasional ether Chrono’s way, because Luminaire is an MP hog.

I would highly suggest not using physicals at all. They absorb attack types, but their magic spells do way less than their physicals.

I must have been lucky, because they only hit back with absorbed magic. Between FFVI and this, Square was NOT messing around with the mid game twists in their mid ‘90s RPGs.

I don't know if it's still around, but if you like Chrono Trigger's music and hip-hop, check out the Chrono Trigger Mixtape. It's a really well-done mashup album.

I’ve reached the point where I can do a bunch of character specific side stories.
I’ve beaten Ozzie with Magus, and makes Medina no longer angry at humans, replanted the forest with Robo, and Lucca saved her mother’s legs from getting crushed.
Theres still a fair bit to do, like finding the guy’s stolen tools so he can fix the building for Frog’s, find the rainbow shell for Marle, to say nothing of finding the moonstone to make the sun stone, and the Beef Jerky effect.

All I have left is the Robo side quest in 2300 and Black Omen/Lavos. So close to the end. And so close to Magus getting Dark Matter, which should make the end easier to beat.

I have completed the character side quests. All that’s left Black Omen/Lavos.
Is there any difference depending on which time period you do it in?
I read in 2300, Queen Zeal mocks you for overshooting the whole stopping Lavos thing by a couple hundred of years
