You're free to disagree and think it's a perfect sequel that has everything you ever wanted out of a chrono trigger sequel. Lots of people like it. I just don't feel that it's a real sequel.

As I recall it's the time devourer which is lavos after merging with part of schala, but it takes more than a final boss to make something a real sequel to another thing.
Nothing surpasses chronotrigger even after all these years.
Two contemporaries of chronotrigger that were much different but still quite good are terranigma and seiken detensu 3.
Two games that claimed to be trying to do something similar mechanically that are RPGs are septerra core and anachronox. Both are for PC and should run on a potato these days.
The legacy of Kain series and in particular the soul reaver offshoot has a great story and time travel elements, but they're more action puzzle games.
Really good final fantasy of the era, but not a real sequel to Chrono trigger.
I only looked at it briefly, but hardness isn't necessarily what you're looking for. Not a lot of grinding inside someone's body, but I bet warping is common.
As someone who drives a subcompact car, I can get behind this.
But if I ever buy a truck we'll have some words.
I don't think there's much of a chance we find the child alive at this point...
