Beyond that, there's the fact that they were both designed by Akira Toriyama. In spite of the fact that they were able to defeat the enemies that plagued their futures, their efforts to save the world were ultimately screwed over in the sequels to their respective adventures. (Trunks's timeline was effectively ruined by Goku Black and eventually erased from existence entirely in Dragon Ball Super. Chrono Cross... is a a bit of a mess to explain, but I can at least say that a good majority of the Chrono Trigger party was killed off in between the two games, and a part of Lavos managed to survive the events of the first game before going on to become a time devouring abomination that threatened all of existence, which does share similarities with Zamasu's ultimate fate in DB Super.)
