An Amazing RPG

When I first played this game, I didn't think it was going to be very good because I didn't like the battle system very much (I was used to the Final Fantasy IX one) but after a while, the plot thickened and I started to like it. Now I love the battle system just as much as Final Fantasy IX's! I also love the graphics, the plot, the idea of having tons of characters and the idea of alternate endings. Even though I've never played Chrono Trigger, the prequel to this extraordinary tale with the idea of time travel, I am sure it is as good if not better, than Chrono Cross and I cannot wait to beat both of them.

Chrono Cross- One of the most anticipated RPGs ever!

Chrono Cross was the most anticipated game sequal ever. The release of Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo platform evolved into this game 20 years later. With up to 40 characters to choose from and multiple ways to play the game, I would have to say it is great fun. After playing the game for two days, believing I had game part way through, I realized that I had a long way to go. This lack of progress on my part, tells me that this game will take a long time to beat (which is a very good thing).

From people deciding to buy this game, think no more, this game is a sure winner. I bought a PS2 as my first system, and this was the best game overall (including PS2 games so far. I have Madden 2002- a great game. Ephemaral Fantasia- a bad game. ESPN Skatebording- a good 2 player game, but bad 1 player. NBA Shootout 2001- a really really bad game, given as a present. Mobile Suit Gundam Journey To Juburo- Good game, but really hard.).

Chrono cross deals with a young man named Serge, who goes on a quest for his girl friend, Leena (name remembered from Chrono Trigger). He is then warped to an alternate dimension where he is dead! The game deals with serge and his friends' exploits. I have not beatem the game, but the ending looks really good in the strategy guide.

another world of SQUARE's fantasy

Chrono Cross was released in Japan as the last game of the last century by SQUARE and it is definetely a piece of art that is somehow different from FF series. For those who have played Chrono Tigger would enjoy this game even more since there is a connection between two of them.

The battle scene looks remarkably like Final Fantasy, however it uses a totally different system.

The game lets you choose from over 40 characters and their levels (?) DO go up regardless of if they have participated in any battles or not. The only negative to it is there are too many characters to choose from and only three characters can attend battles and the main character needs to be included unless....

Overall, this is a game anyone can enjoy, it is similar to FF, contains fancy movies and good story line.

Very Impressive!

I am currently playing this game and am a little over halfway through, I think. I've really enjoyed it so far - the graphics are nice, though you'd better have a decent-sized TV with good resolution to read the small text on the menu screen. Most RPGs have predictable storylines, but I was actually surprised by the events that unfolded midway through this game. Once you get the hang of handling all the different Elements, the fights really get interesting. I like the fact that you can use the "Run Away" option if you're getting the crap beaten out of you to back out of a battle, reorganize your elements or equipment, then jump back into the battle. Overall, a very good RPG. Can't wait to see how it ends.

Great game but I lost interest.

I love Chrono Cross. Okay? Got that? I love this game. I haven't played it since a year ago, but I love this game. It was difficult at times, and it's very time consuming, and I have never beaten it (even though it gives you the insentive to play throught it again with your built up characters), but I still love this game. The graphics are top-notch for PlayStation games, the characters are colorful and fun to play as, and the battle system is probably only rivaled by Grandia II's and Final Fantasy X's. Buy this game. Maybe you will not lose interest like I did.

If you are a fan of RPGs, don't pass up this sleeper hit

Crono Cross is the long awaited sequel to one of the best RPGs on the SNES, Crono Trigger. Even though Crono Cross has few connections with Crono Trigger other than a couple of remixed music tracks here and there, it is still well worth any RPG fan's time. The battle system in Crono Cross is the most obvious change from traditional RPGs, and can be confusing at first. Instead of Magic Points, the ability to cast spells and using items in battle are reliant on elemental levels. Each time you attack, your elemental level increases allowing you to use more powerful spells according to how you "allocated" them on that character. It's not as confusing as it sounds though, so anyone who has played a lot of RPGs before will be a able to quickly adjust within a few hours of gameplay. That said, Crono Cross is probably best reserved for those who are seasoned RPG players. Other features such as the graphics, sound, and story are all top notch, so there's nothing to worry about in those departments. Branching paths and well over 40 different characters add even more reason not to pass this one up. If you want a break from the same old style of RPG, or are just looking for a title to hold you over until Dragon Warrior 7 or Final Fantasy 10, I strongly recommend Crono Cross.

Endless replay value, great gaming experience

There is a new game that has taken Final Fantasy 7's crown of the absolute must own for the Playstation. I am in complete awe of this game and haven't been able to stop playing it even being I am on my second time through. The music is absolutely perfect. The game plus feature should be required on all new RPG's were it up to me. The graphics are amazing and contains, although they are few and far between, the most jaw-dropping FMV's I have ever seen. Every aspect of this game fuses perfectly with each other to create hands down the best sequel, if not the best game ever made. This is the new pinacle of gaming and the best sent to us thus-far from Square.

Deserves alot more than five...

I borrowed this game from a friend, and during the time I was waiting to get it, I looked up some bits. From some sites I visited, it had recieved lukewarm reviews. I wasn't expecting much as the Playstation screen appeared, but as a fan of Chrono Trigger, I felt I had to play it.

I was utterly wrong.

From that moment on, I couldn't put down my controller. I was caught up in the struggles of Serge and Kid as they travelled across a pair of dimensions to find the Frozen Flame and stop the evil Lynx from possessing it. There are so many twists and turns with this game, it was unbelievable. And when I heard that there were 42 (?) possible characters, at first I was skeptical, but after that no...Sure, the characterizations aren't great for each, but having that many lets you pick your strongest characters for a particular situation.

Another think I really liked was the battle system. Instead of the status bar scrolling across the screen, you are presented with seven stamina points, which you must spend, either pulling off risky havy attacks, or weaker attacks that are sure to hit. Or you can cast a spell. Though this description may sound like it is turn-based, once you grasp the battle system, it'll be happening so fast that it seems it's almost real!

The story didn't extend, but expand that of Chrono Trigger, while retaining the goodness that was CT. While it didn't have the rapid time traveling that CT did, it more than made up for it with the beautiful graphics.

Square made a masterpiece with Chrono Cross. Thank heavens that the Final Fantasy team of late has nothing to do with the Chrono series.

WE WANT A SEQUEL!

A Squaresoft Triumph!!!

Whoever didn't like this game was either too young to understand it or too close-minded to give it a chance. It surpasses most if not all other playstation games with the exception of the final fantasy series. It was a success in many aspects. The graphics are the first thing you'll notice, and they'll blow you away. The storyline takes a while to sink in but once you understand it, you'll never want to put it down. This is the kind of game that you have to give a chance first before you actually start to like it. It keeps you guessing, so you have to watch and listen carefully. There may have been a lot of characters, and it might get confusing at times, but that's what gives the game its great replay value. Because you can't get all the characters one time through. You have to play the game several times in order to take advantage of all it has to offer. And you'll never get bored because there's always something new or different to keep you interested. The music in this game is the best ever in ANY game. I even have the music downloaded and I burned it onto a disk so I can listen to it whenever I want. The opening theme is awesome. It starts out slow and then it surprises you by jumping into this fast beat tropical music. The composers should be proud to have contributed to this game. All aspects of the game were fully developed and on the whole, very impressive. Chrono Cross is definitely one of the best rpg's ever made. Trust me, you'll like it, if not love it.

Amazing game

Chrono Cross was the first game we got for our PlayStation. If you are looking for an amazing, thought provoking game, get it. The graphics are astounding and the gameplay is great. The plot is a little confusing at some points, but that makes it a great game because later that part of the plot is explained and you will look back and go "Wow, I get it now!" The only thing I would say is to get a guide for the game. It would be impossible without one.
The plot is this:
A young man named Serge wakes up one morning from a disturbing dream. His girlfriend demands he make her a necklace, and he obediently goes, only to be sucked into a parallel universe where he drowned ten years ago! Was it coincidence, or is there some greater evil behind his universal travel?
Buy the game and find out!!!You won't be disappointed!!!
