Chrono Cross

- Name everyone Lavos for maximum hilarity/confusion!

- Also, stealing is amazing, but only Kid and Fargo can do it. Kid's always joining and leaving but once you get Fargo, use him forever and make sure to always steal from the bosses, because you'll get some amazing items.

- When you start fighting the Dragons, get Fargo in your party to try to steal their colored Plates. The Black one especially, which makes getting the Mastermune much easier.

- I also recommend choosing "Not to save Kid" so that you get Glenn. Most people obviously pick to save her (even though the choice doesn't really matter) and miss out on the coolest character in a game of mostly mediocre party members.

- Learn to love trap elements. They will make the midgame much easier.

- Yes, Miguel is like that for everyone. You gotta get lucky and/or pick the right companions.
