It includes cutscenes from the PlayStation release.

I don't know how many people will agree with me, but I never liked the Chrono Trigger out-of-game art at all -- the characters have a kind of Dragon Ball Z appearance to them that I never liked much (didn't like the DBZ series, either), and the cutscenes appear to be done in that art style. The in-game Chrono Trigger graphics I'm fine with, though.

And it's not because I dislike Square's out-of-game art of the time. Yoshitaka Amano's Final Fantasy VI concept art is pretty distinctive and famous, and I love the Secret of Mana promo art.

All that being said, based on that video review of the different versions I linked to, it sounds like the PC version on Steam also has the cutscenes (see 8:52).

Surely you're aware they're not merely in that style, but in fact the character designer was Akira Toriyama, the mangaka who wrote Dragon Ball, right?

Like it's not in the style of Akira Toriyama, it's that the character designs are by Toriyama. Toriyama also did the character designs for the Dragon Quest games.
