A must buy for Chrono Trigger or Xenogears fans

The first thing that astounded me (after picking my jaw up from the floor) was the smoothness of the animation. Simply splended! The battles are similar in style to Xenogears. Having 40+ characters makes the first several times through the game different enough to be enjoyable. I do not like the way magic is set up. Asside from having a set number of spells that you could cast, reequipping spells becomes a lengthy and time consuming process if you dislike the games auto-allocate method. A definite must buy for any RPG fan.

Great story line,but...

I loved Chrono Trigger, so I couldn't wait for Chrono Cross to come out. The graphics are great and the story line is unique (can't go into detail without giving it away). However, I was HIGHLY disappointed with the endings. They could've been more creative. Not to mention they could've had developed the characters better.

Maximum Fun!

I love this game. If you liked "Chrono Trigger" than you'll love this game. If not, it's O.K. It has it's own story and has unique gameplay. The graphics are incredible. You are a boy named Serge and you get transferred to another dimension the same as yours! As Serge you try to find your way back home. It's two discs and plenty of gameplay. As you progress you collect 45 different characters. If your planning on buying I have one thing to say. GREAT choice!!

Final Fantasy IX? No way it's better than this.

I just got this game on Christmas day 2000, and THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER CREATED, seriously. You see, I had rented this game before, thinking, "Hmm, a new Squaresoft game. I guess I'll check it out." But, lo and behold, this was far more than I had expected. (I had played it's prequel for about an hour before.) These are the best visuals you will ever see on Playstation in a lifetime, not to mention the best ever music in any game known to mankind. Later, I played Final Fantasy IX, having my hopes set for the next Final Fantasy VII. To my dismay, the game seemed tragically short for four freakin' discs. They wasted the space on FMV sequences. Well, I'm not trying to dis this game. I loved it while it lasted. The game was about 40 hours long. That's kinda sad, knowing that Final Fantasy VIII was about 80 and FFVII was 75 (on three discs).Ok, enough with Final Fantasy. Chrono Cross is quite possibly the best game you will ever play, besides the betters of Final Fantasy. Not only is it fun, but it is very challenging at some parts. Chrono Trigger fans, you will see and hear reminders of Lucca and Lavos here. You will even be able to go to Lucca's house. Overall, a very good and memorable experience.

Chrono Cross. The name has much history to live up to. Chrono Trigger easily competes for the title of the best SNES RPG ever. Chrono Cross comes at about the same cycle in the PS history. At first, all the new ideas scared me, as a vetran of CT. But once I started really playing I realized the joy of the new battle system and characters. All the tidbits throw in for old CT players are great. Listen, all that really matters is that the gameplay is top notch. Balancend and easy to get into, it works perfectly and sets a new standard for RPGs. Don't get me wrong, I like FF's formula just fine, but all the random battles do get tiring and it would be great to see more games, instead of just copying FF's tried and true mechanics, innovate and create masterpieces like this.

All of the good qualites of Chrono Trigger, plus More!

Chrono Cross has one of the best story lines than anyother RPG video game. This game has the most beautiful music, fantastic CG, and some of the most colorful characters. If you are looking for a game that has a strong storyline, flawless game play, and extra bonuses, this is the game to buy.

Chrono Cross: Not a Disappointment

Chrono Cross will not disappoint you. The storyline is a little wacky, but the character's personalities are fun to watch unfold. The actual change to playstation from SNES has its good and bad sides. First the good: The music and graphics are awesome. There are short movies in the game which is an excellent addition. The world is large to explore, and there is defenitely lots of extra stuff to do that isn't necessary to finishing the game. Now the bad: The one thing I didn't like is the battle system changed a bit. You can still see the monsters before you fight them, but once you touch them, the screen changes to a normal rpg fight that is turn based. This has to be done for several reasons, one reason is to enhance the graphics, and the other reason is to allow the playstation to load the battle sequence. Yes... unfortuantely for us gamers the playstation has a bit of load time for chrono cross that can at times get annoying. But the game is a great continuation. I really recommend it.

Chrono Cross a super RPG

Chrono Cross was a game I saw a friend playing one day. I looked fun so I borrowed it one day, and didn't want to give it back. Finally she bought me a copy of my own for my birthday.It was addictive, and I couldn't put it down. All the characters, the always changing and the ability to chose the way the plot goes makes this a superior game.Like anything else getting used to the battle system takes some getting used to, but after a few battles it becomes second nature.Also the great colors, graphics and music make this a game that every gamer has to add to his or her collection.Not wanting to give anything away to those who haven't beat the game just let me say that there are plenty of surprises in for you. Squaresoft has outdone itself, and this is one of the best games I've played.

Better than FF7!!!

This is the best RPG you will ever play, hands down! If you enjoy a compley story, many secrets and tricks, and an incredible plot you will love it. Any Final Fantasy fan will be impressed, as this games does the original Chrono Trigger one better. To be objective though, the game has a few minor flaws. If you have never played an RPG before, you may get lost on a few occasions, Chrono Cross is no walk in the park. But anyways the game is so good that I'm buying the strategy guide for it after i've already beatin it. Because the replay value is so great I want to unlock every secret. It took me a little under 40 hours to beat with no guide, and it was very fun. If you like RPG's though, you can't go wrong with Chrono Cross, its off tha heezi fo sheezi my N****!!

The best RPG out there.

This game really suprised me. I really had never cared for this genre of video games, but I was hearing so much good stuff about this one. So I picked it up, and was so very pleased. The game is just so warm. It has a heart. I've played some FF games- they seem just too cold. Also, it's very difficult. Chrono Cross is just such a fun game. The graphics are very good for Playstation. The gameplay is awesome. You have to play it to believe it. So, my final plea, get this game!
