Chrono Cross

Chrono Trigger... absolutely a fantastic game...

Chrono Cross... another fantastic game.  BUT... the only way I can accept it is by pretending it's not a Chrono Trigger sequel.  It isn't.  There are cameos, but rare, and not related.  I've always felt it was an attempt to sell the game by associating it with the original.  It definately stands on it's own.

It is definately a Chrono Trigger sequel, but it is in the greater universe. Set years in the future, the events that unfold do so for a reason that many people don't understand. The story is the best ever in a video game, because everything ties together eventually. For example, the reason Lynx took over Serge's body is because it is encoded in his DNA that he is the only one who can take the Frozen Flame. The reason for this was the power serge (hence his name) that shut FATE, the flame's guardian, down while the group was lost at sea in the pre-story. The frozen flame is actually a shard of Lavos. The Tesseract is the place where the dimensions that were averted go to, such as the "Day of Lavos". This is where Schala and Lavos and the Time Devourer all meld. It is a very complicated story, but once you work it out, you can see how genius it is. I would very much like to see a continuation of the story. If you are interested in working out the details of the Chrono Multiverse, I suggest reading this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/196917/8657 If you like the mythology of the games, this is well worth your time.

Chrono Cross is one of the coolest games ever
but I still like CT more.

I beat it like once for the negame+ ending, then went for the chrono talking ending, but I never finished it! DAMN ME!

Spoiler for:

I got to lavos and had maybe ten hits left on him...

What's your favorite team? For beating Lavos anyway...mine:

Robo: Named him Romo
Frog: Named him Frogg
Magus: Magus...

Fgor was the all round BEST character in CT. He could heal, use offensive spells well, and smack things hard. He had pretty good HP too if I remember right.

Also I think every one put frog and Magus on the smae team, you just HAVE to.

no, I always liked frog, because I first saw him when I was like really little, and I really liked him, a frog with a sword, like kermit only not fagalious. And Magus had the sweet spells, I didn't have internet at the time I beat it, so how the hell would I know what everyone else did. Anyway, and robo just stuck because he's cool.

Frog, Robo, Crono and Magus were godly. Any combination of the four is always a good team. Lucca and Marle sucked anus. Ayla was good if you knew how to use her correctly, you know not have ber smash stuff like one would think, but my having her steal crap.

I used Chrono, Magus, and Marle to heal.

Oh God, I have to play CT again...

Crono Marle and Lucca.

x3

Marl and Lucca were so worthless though. I'm shocked that ANYONE uses them.

I owned with them though. They're pretty powerful if you raise them right...

That sounds gay doesn't it?

No, it sounds pedo.

lol xD

Sounds delicious. 

I never played Cross...i hve trigger for the PSX, u kno, the one that came with ff4? well yeah, i couldnt stay with it, too confusing on where to go. i got to that barbarian place and quit...just got bored...maybe i should continue? i already have so many rpgs i need to finish...Radiata Stories, FFXII, FF4(GBA).
i wouldnt mind play cross tho, im listening to that song that guy posted on here...its amazing.

Chrono Cross's Music is extremely well done. Another World is one of my all-time favorite video game songs.

I agree, Chrono Cross's music IS very well done. I liked the Boss Battle, Fates~Godes of destiny and the one where you fight the dragon god/time devourer for the first time.

It was a great game. If you looked deep enough into it you would see that it had a great storyline. However, most people do not look far enough and are confused. Sadly, though, I like Chrono Trigger better. It seemed more.."complete" to me. Thoguh it lacked the ammount f skills and spells CC had.

Alright i played CT and beat it over 26 times...i beat lavos with only chrono at only level 42 and got the best ending (the one where you see messages from the makers of the game)...it is by far my FAVORITE game, ive beaten over five hundred games and been playing games since i was only six years old...CT takes the cake over them all...Now onto chrono cross...I never liked it, i started playing when it first came out..and sadly i never got into it...i played maybe 2 hours and i was like hell this doesnt even compare to CT, i shut it off and never played it again...Sorry but Chrono cross isnt even as good as any of the FF series...even tactics...which i hated, personally i think chrono cross was a mockery of CT..Not to bash anyones favorite game, just my own personal view...Done Ranting

I played CC and I love the yaoi pair SergexGlenn. LOL.

Chrono Cross's Music is extremely well done. Another World is one of my all-time favorite video game songs.

I must stop you there, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest has the best game music of ALL TIME.

H..forgot one thing: The thing in which brings Chrono Chross down a notch is it's over abundance of party members. WHY do we need so many members? They are all generally the same and most are not really that interesting. The only ones I really used were Glen, Viper, Kid, that axe wielding fellow..and thats about it. Well, unless I HAD to use someone else.

For me Chrono Cross's draw was in the plotline and the music. I didn't care much about the rest. I just played it to get more story, and get to the next song.

I'm playing it just so I can beat it, because then I beat both Chronos.

Perhaps it's just me, and I know it will sound Blasphemous, but I actually prefered Chrono Cross to Chrono Trigger.

You're wrong, you're very very wrong.
