The reason "Chrono Trigger" keeps appearing next to Another Eden Begins is the people: the game is led by writer Masato Kato — known for Chrono Trigger — with music by Yasunori Mitsuda (Google's launch overview panel, captured at release). That heritage is the single biggest reason JRPG fans keep drawing the comparison.

What we deliberately do NOT claim

We are not listing shared characters, plot references or composer tracks — none of those specifics appear in the sources we verified, and inventing them would be exactly the mistake this site avoids.
Community queries like "successor to Chrono Cross" have search volume, but our sources do not confirm any official relationship to Chrono Cross (to confirm — treat as unverified).
