The storyline and characters are interesting, and the FMVs are pretty amazing. If Squaresoft took a leap at some sort of innovative combat system, they probably would have had the best RPG of the PSX on their hands. But their oddly conservative move instead added another "great but not epic" RPG to the Playstation library.
Great story, no real grinding either in the game, you just mix and match attacks and characters and enjoy the ride. With so many characters and paths in the game, it has great replay value. An amazing RPG that is miles ahead of it's competition.
It's just so sad to see all these Chrono Trigger fans complain about innovation and creativity. This will forever be worthy of my perfect score. The awkward moment when EVEN all 16 of the official critics gave an extremely postive review, some idiot users still gave it a negative review.
I mean, 17 negative reviews? For this masterpiece? Timeless classic, will be forever remembered. The Chrono games are amazing and this one just adds to the amazing that both games exude. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a great RPG adventure. The story is interesting, the graphics are dated but beautiful, the battle system is interesting and fun if used right. It is one of my all time favorite RPG's.
The gameplay is one of its weakest parts, the battle system is different of the former, but there's nothing bad towards it. The problem is that Cross is a very long game, and has only few different places, that means you will backtrack in the biggest part of the game.
The game uses elements instead of magic and items, and you will every time stop the game to enter in the menu to rearrange the position of the elements in their grids, in order to have a strong party. The game features 54 characters that you can't get in a single play, making you play other times to get all of them. While that brings diversity, most of the characters are useless, don't have a decent development and have similar weaknesses and strenghts of lots of other characters in your gang.
The story is pretty, but very confusing, throwing at you thousands of informations in long text parts. In the other hand, the graphics have beautiful colors and the soundtrack is beyond masterpiece, even better than the soundtrack of Chrono Trigger.
The best RPG ever made! Awesome story, good characters, awesome battle system. One of the best games i've ever played. I've played a lot of games, good and bad. Chrono Cross is one of those that brings something new to the table, and provides an experience you probably won't have again. There's good, and there's bad, but Chrono Cross sucks you right in, leading you straight into the setting of the story.
You feel as if you're right there with Serge, having everything happen to you. Is it because of the I've played a lot of games, good and bad. Is it because of the music? The amazing visuals? Say what you will, but Chrono Cross is one unique game - something that can't be replicated. Nothing short of an amazing experience.
A true spiritual successor to the wonderful Chrono Trigger. Not only does it pay homage to its younger counterpart, but it does an amazing job at creating a whole new story with remarkable characters you cannot ever forget. For those of you that don't know this game is based off the Satellaview SNES game Radical Dreamers which was supposed to be the Nothing short of an amazing experience.
With a great combat engine and a story that blows your mind at every corner this is a must buy on the Playstation 1. This game is not the classic people make it out to be. It tries a bunch of new things that none work very well. You can only have three characters, only about 6 matter to the story, and there are 44 of them in total. RPGs are supposed have great character development, this has one of the worst character developments in any RPG, that and the level system with the stars is lame and This game is not the classic people make it out to be.
RPGs are supposed have great character development, this has one of the worst character developments in any RPG, that and the level system with the stars is lame and uninspired. The story is not easy to follow and jumps all over the place. I'll take quality characters even if it is a small core cast over a character cast that's this big and shallow any day.
Pass on this, it wasn't great in , and still is nothing to write home about. A Pure Masterpeice showing once again, why square is the premiere games developer out there. I love the game my name is serge and I really like this game and all the characters in it. There's like 40! I like the way you fight and stuff but to me the characters make the game. Well, Kubrick would be proud. There is only one thing bad about this game. Replayability , after finishing game there is really nothing more to do.
But apart from this , this book its a masterpiece. FF sink down. Nothing short of great. If you love games where you can get confused as all hell if you think about it too much, but at the same time, watch the little inner stories unfold, then Chrono Cross will satisfy your RPin' hunger.
This is the best game in the world! The best rpg out to date. A must play game. Square has impressed me once again Not many sequels are as good as if not better than the first one, this one wasn't as good or better but it was still great. I loved it! I really don't know if I should give a 10 too, probably a 9 would be enough, but this game caught me for hours and hours of intensive playing. The characters, story, soundtrack, everything is just awesome.
The graphics look really great, and that for a PSX game. Big thumbs up. I could't live without this game it is the best game ever to hit the market!!! This is my favorite RPG, and quite possibly my favorite game of any genre. Gotta agree with Shintrix. Hands-down has the best graphics of any game for the PS1, but the lackluster storyline lets it down.
Really, they could at least TRY to provide some character motivation for going from one place to the next, instead of just randomly announcing "We have to go to the next city now! This and the fact that a tiny minority of the characters actually have double or triple techs one of the features that made Chrono Trigger's character system so engaging make Chrono Cross an undeserving sequel.
Gone is the sense of fun that made CT so great to play, replaced with the Final Fantasy-esque gloom and doom, dungeons you don't want to explore, and heroes whose lives you don't ultimately care about. Deserves a 6 for its graphics and admittedly interesting battle system, but no more. Terribly overrated, although very well made. If you have played an RPG game before you will not be surprised in this game by its story, but its by far one of the nicest looking games for PSX.
Gameplay sucks, and the difficulty level for the dungeons is way up there. But there are nice puzzles and side-games to keep you going til the end :. It is one of the best video games i have ever played! Iwould reccomend it to anyone who likes action RPGs.
It is alittle confusing at first, but still fun! Where to start? The opening FMV is so engrossing that you will for certain sure watch it at least 10 times; possibly before you even play the game.
Ditch your preconceptions. This game uses a level system like nothing you have ever seen. Your strength in combat is determined by the amount of 'stars' you have; you earn stars by playing through plot battles. You cannot powerlevel Where to start? You cannot powerlevel in this game, nor do you need to, as the experience you gain as you play is all you will need.
You still need to fight! Fights reward you with various items, which you can give to a smith who will forge new weapons, armours and accessories for a fee. After you beat a boss battle you can obtain some stat boosts from fighting too. The magic system is also unique, as it relies on Elements. There are several different colours of Element, and these Elements can be of various power levels.
There is no 'native' power level for an Element - so long as you have the ability to assign an Element to a power level, you can use any Element at that power level. As in Chrono Trigger, characters can learn 'techs', which can also be double and triple techs.
The art and music is sublime. While that all seems disorganised and disparate, think a moment on what the greatest threat to RPGs is. It is possible to upgrade to second-tier magic before doing so! In Chrono Cross, the restrictive level system makes it more fun and challenging.
Your opponents will always be a challenge. The only way of defeating them is through the use of strategy, intelligence and superior armanent. Therefore this game is a must; the sweet, superior perfection of game balance, the clear realism of the graphics and the enthralling plot combine to produce a strong contender for 'perfect game'. Designers take note: a progression-based level system makes sense!
Just tack Chrono in front of a game and all the fanboys will praise it like it's the best thing after sliced bread as is apparant here. As an RPG it is extremely mediocre at best. The gameplay is very un-imaginative and bland and the story is a garbled mess that makes no sense whatsoever.
Also, none of the characters have any personality of their own at all, barring extremely annoying "accents" All in all, this is a very tedious and unrewarding game that completely relies on it's Chrono prefix and it's completely blind fanboy groupies. Square should be ashamed for making a connection between the brilliant Chronotrigger and this unimaginative game. Real grade for this would have been a 5, but all the unjustly given 10s have to be compensated somewhat. This game has got great music and graphics.
But it has a crappy gameplay, useless level up system and the story is just terrible. It tarnishes Trigger's legacy in very horrible ways. This game is a disgrace. The graphics are completely off and the gameplay as no limits. You don't even have a solid story line to follow. And even if you did it wouldn't make any sense.
This is one of the most overrated games of all time. Chrono Cross, frankly, bores me. Sure, it's a colorful game, sporting some of the best visuals of its time when it was released. But there's just no heart to the game.
Even if I don't love CT as much as some, I can't deny its heart. CC just doesn't compare with its predecessor. CC's characters are stale and one-dimensional. The plot is just plain stupid. The world is shallow and incohesive. I keep trying to play this game, but only ever get a few hours in. The furthest I ever got was about hours in. It was then that I realized the game just kept getting worse, and there were other distractions far more worth my time. I really like Chrono Trigger, but CC is just isn't all that great.
The gameplay is slooow, graphics are medicore at best. The music is nice though. The way too many characters thing was also a bad idea, and the story not only ruins CT's story but is also over-complicated. It has many good ideas but they should have been put together better. I found this game to be trite, unimaginative, and just flat out boring.
The game features uninspired locales, an unevenly paced plot, and enough middle school, masturbatory, philosophical wallowing to fill the diaries of every depressed high schooler on the planet. Well I played Chrono trigger and thought it was way up there with the Final fantasy games of Snes.
This being the case when I heard about Chrono cross I just had to give it a try. The random Chrono trigger references does not make this a sequel and although this would have increased sales by effectivly ripping off the chrono trigger name. It ultimately disappoints it is just too Well I played Chrono trigger and thought it was way up there with the Final fantasy games of Snes.
It ultimately disappoints it is just too different. I would rather a few well crafted characters instead of 40 mass produced characters shallow as the stereo types that they are, "kid" made me cringe with every "Australian" catch frase She must have been drived from Crockidile Dundee.
The Graphics are best of ps1 but that does not at all make up for the dreadful storyline structure all lost and unmotovated like a headless chook. The story is the most important part of any RPG whever it has fantastic graphics or not.
It's been a while since I played it but I felt I must speak out to settle the burning black void in my soul. This game has scarred me. I hadn't even heard of it until a few years after its release. I loved Chrono Trigger. I saw this game and its glowing reviews and gave it a shot. Good lord. This had nothing of the original's charm. Gone was the enjoyable combat It's been a while since I played it but I felt I must speak out to settle the burning black void in my soul.
Gone was the enjoyable combat system and plentiful double and triple techs; replaced by some archaic system that was neither fun nor innovative. Gone was the colorful cast of compelling characters, replaced by 40 shallow people that to this day I recall none, while the Chrono Trigger characters are clear as day in my mind. Gone was any semblance of a compelling story. I only remember bits and pieces and the fact that it was convoluted and lame. There were bits and pieces of references to Chrono Trigger; more akin to inspirations than actual relevance.
The game's saving grace was the music. While I remember it being very good I didn't find it memorable. For this I shall award the game one whole point. Yes, I am probably being unfair and that it's a respectable game on it's own right; I shall not grant more than one point.
Not when they will call it a sequel to one of my favorite games while retaining none of the charm of the original. I remember beating the last boss, ejecting the cd, giving it not to a friend, but his friend; someone nobody particularly liked. I told him it was his to keep and that I never wanted to see it again. This game sucks. Its okay, but nothing to write home about. Lack of characterization. There are too many characters, and none of them end up with any real characterization in the game.
It was a good idea, and then it was executed incredibly poorly, making the game even MORE This game sucks. Overall, thumbs down. This game is massively overrated. Don't buy it, its high ratings are due to people liking Chrono Trigger and not wanting to give its sequel, which sucked and isn't even really a sequel a bad score. Chrono Croos is like Chrono Trigger, only with no storyline and horrible gameplay. Sure the graphics and sound are great but really, not gaining levels to pevent overleveling, you get stats after you beat bosses and a little afterward so you won't overlevel, the combo based attacking is hirribly done.
Legend of Legaia had one 10 times better. No moves to get, the magic absolutely Chrono Croos is like Chrono Trigger, only with no storyline and horrible gameplay. No moves to get, the magic absolutely sucked, I don't want to work aimlessley during battle to get all the field red just to cast a summon that does VERY little damage. As a stand-alone game, it is all right. As a "sequel" to Chrono Trigger, it's terrible. They pull connections between the two games out of nowhere, setting up events that could never realistically happen in the CT universe Porre overthrowing Guardia?
The vast majority of characters are boring, some even unlikable. However, the graphics are beautiful. And while I As a stand-alone game, it is all right. And while I didn't like the soundtrack as much as CT's, it is still very good. Difficulty is pretty high, but the battle system is uninspired.
And I got the "bad ending" after beating CC, which was extremely unfulfilling. Overall, it is presented entirely differently than the original you can tell there was a different creative team , but the game is enjoyable at times and moderately tough.
But nowhere close to its predecessor. A game with a genius battle system and soundtrack that is held back by its unevenly executed story ie: info dumps. The game's world and art is beautiful, but the emotional attachment to the story is put singularly on one character that they put on hiatus for the entire second act. It honestly lacks drive but has enough verve for its own audience. Awful story, and story is the most important factor in an RPG.
Battle system is just awful. I only played through it simply to play through it, I would not recommend this game to an enemy. I'm possibly the biggest Chrono Trigger fan What a welcome change from Final Fantasy. A game you can actually enjoy playing without getting into a random battle every couple of steps. Don't worry, the boss battles give you more than enough leveling to finish the game.

User Info: Mcl Thing is, it means no matter where you are in the game, you won't be underpowered. You know you're at exactly the right level to defeat the boss. Any extra stat-boosts you get outside boss battles do stack up over time though, making you much more powerful than if you hadn't. Basically, each star level you fight for your bonuses, you're likely to get 1 or more points into a few stats.
