In fairness, Chrono Trigger never featured any particularly complex relationships. Whereas Xenoblade and its predecessors really struck out to create some very complicated character developments (with Xenoblade itself certainly having the most success with it), CT was always a big goofy cartoon. And it was wonderful for it, of course, but a Xeno game shouldn't necessarily have the same tone.

In regards to "anime", that term gets thrown around derogatorily a lot, and probably more than it should be. Really, what that entails is a certain flavor of campiness that isn't necessarily bad. Xenosaga's mistake was taking itself drop-dead seriously while also indulging in that, which in itself was a certain kind of entertaining, yet makes it very difficult to recommend to anyone.
