Finally, a fun game from Squaresoft. Aside from Front Mission 3 the Square games have really left me wanting. Call me spoiled but I have seen all this before but finally they have put the eye candy and gameplay together to make this a decent one. I wonder why people review something they haven't played? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Anyway for those that want to buy the game I am still playing it. The plot twists are wonderful and it makes you wonder what would have happened if you had chosen a different line or character. Sigh.......Square continues to find a magic system that works. This one is OK, much better then drawing (ugh....boring, FF8). It seems far to complicated to just simply be enjoyed though. You get the hang of it but still it takes a bit. But the story is worth the buy, it plays and flows well although at times I scratch my head and wonder what is going on (Chrono Trigger was a long time ago!). Although I don't feel this is the next level of RPGs or ground breaking in anyway it is still a classic and fun to play.
Good Game!

It's a shame this game is so old that it is now discountiniued, because it's one of the greatest games in history. I could go on constantly and generally, but I think it'll be better if I cut this up.
Plot - Mind boggling. That's an understatement. The plot has an incredible amount of depth and twists, it's simply amazing. One minute you're wondering why something is happening, sudden;y you know it but you don't care anymore because now you want to know who some person is. Keeps you guessing till the very end. It does a good job explaining what happened in Chrono Trigger (which is even better than Chrono Cross, go play it, I'll review it sometime).
Graphics - Stunning. This game is unbelievably colorful. Everything is well detailed and tweaked to perfection. Nothing ever seems out of place or lacking in color. There is even a time when there is too much of it (evil alternate dimension). The elements are attractive. Very nice.
Sound - If this game was totally crappy in all other aspects, this one would still make this game worth a play. The music is majestic. Seems like there was an orchestra at every point in this game. The sound effects when using key items or weapons/elements in battle are shocking.
Misc - The battle system owns your life. Similar to the one in Xenogears. The hgame controls very well, even with the speed altering item recieved in new game+/continue+. Lots of characters and tuns of fun.
The one downer is that you must go through the game at least 3 times around to get all characters, and the replay value is moderate due to the size of this game... but the extras help and make it worth it ^^
Greatest Game For PlayStation

I like how there are so many characters in this game (over 30) and i also like how u get to pick how u play the game. For example one part in the game u get to pick wich way u want to go and wich ever way u pick u get different guys on ur team. I also like how there are moves that like 2 people do at the same time or sometimes even three!!
A great game with great characters!

This game is awesome especially with 45 characters! My favorite guy would have to be...Harle! I don't know why I like her its just I really like Jesters and medieval stuff like that. I've beaten the game already and the Time Devourer was pretty hard before the final fight with him. I think the hardest guys were the Hi-Ho Darves the first round. I also started a new game plus. Glenn is a must have character. They are making a Chrono Break for PS2 I think. Pierre sucks at first but he gets better. I've never tried out Nikki though. Guile rocks! Well see you all.
Not your average RPG

Those fed up with slow gameplay from the FF series can suffer no more, as the medicine has arrived, and boy does it taste good. The sluggish turn-based gameplay has been replaced with fast paced strategy and beautiful "elements", which replace items and magic. There are weak, strong, and fierce attacks, which vary in accuracy. However, as you build up attacks and burn stamina, you raise your element power, which enables you to use higher power elements. Incidentially, any built up element power you have at the end of your battle can be used to heal your party. Though complicated on paper, this is incredibly intricate, and, more importantly, FUN.
Those, however, who can't get enough of Squaresoft's trademark twisting plots and jaw dropping graphics, will not be disappointed, as the story is just as engrossing and explosive as those from the classics you've grown to love. It's not as though it makes much of a difference, but graphics are still as lavish and beautiful, looking as though they were hand painted. The cutscenes, though far and few between, are beautiful and exhibit Squaresoft's amazing storytelling ability even without speech.
The minor characters have slightly underdeveloped personalites, but are all great fighters in their own rights. The main characters are much more interesting, and will be more frequently popping up in the game, reguardless of whether or not you decide to play them.
All in all, this is a worthy investment of time and money, and worth playing over and over for different endings. However, due to the nonlinear world and multiple hidden characters, buying the strategy guide is also a good idea to the rookie gamer
Best Game Ever

I personally think that this game is the best in all of video-game history. I've played this games predessor and I think they both kick 'arse' [as Kid would say.] When I first played it I thought it had amazing graphics compared to Chrono Trigger,although its graphics are in no comparison to FFX's. The plot of CC is great to, but I won't reveal anything for the people who haven't played it yet. Just take my word for it, because this is a must-play for Squaresoft fans[which your's truly is.] I've played practiclly all of 'em and this one would have to be my most favorite of all.
