This was definatly a good game. Those of you (like myself) who played ff8, and were dissapointed will probably like this game the most. The battle and experience systems are VERY unique, but not extremely complicated like in ff8. The gameplay and graphics are fantastic. There are so many characeters, that by the time I had finished the game, I hadn't used half of them. The soundtrack is pretty good too. The single drawback to this game is that the plot is VERY confusing. In fact, even after beating the game, i still had tons of unanswered questions (Maybe its just me though). I still think this is probably one of the best RPGs I have played on playstation, and hope there are more of its kind on ps2. Also, even if you don't like cheating, you may want to think about buying the Stratagy Guide Book. Within the couple of hours of gameplay, I realized that I had mist several things, that would have probably made the game more enjoyable.

This game is excellent.

This is the first Playstation game I bought and the first one I played. I played Chrono Trigger on the Super Nintendo, and I'm a big fan of Square RPG's in general. I was blown away by Chrono Cross. It is absolutely beautiful: the graphics are unbelievable, and the music is gorgeous (except the battle music got a little annoying towards the ending of the game...).

I think my favorite part of the game was that after I was done, I wanted to start right away again and play it all over again. I wanted to play it all over again to try to get different characters and to try making different decisions throughout the game.

I never wanted to stop playing this game. I highly recommend it, especially to those who have played Chrono Trigger.

A RPG with a gorgeous soundtrack and more.

Once I saw the preview of this game on the bonus disk of Vagrant Story, a preview that consisted of the opening movie, I knew it was a must have. I've never, in my numerous years of gaming, heard such a moving song in a video game. The movie itself showed the quality graphics but it's the music that caught me. But a game is not movie and music alone, right? As expected of RPGs there are many twists and turns in the plot but more than a few of them (one large one in particular) made my jaw drop. Good stuff, that. The magic system is simple to grasp but (if you're a sucker for pain) can be easily made into a Herculean trial, what with the variety that is available. There are many endings possible, so replay-ability is a ten. As usual, Squaresoft shows that it's the best at what is does.

AWESOME ;)

I love this game. It has an cool, twisty plot and it has awesome graphics. I mean really the people look like PEOPLE!! You get to know the characters, they're 3D, and you feel what's going on. But you don't know what's gonna happen next. It's cool!! I HIGHLY recommend it. If you don't like it I'll put you in psyciatic evaluation! ;) TTFN. ;D

A worthy advacary of Final Fantacy IX

I got this game for x-mas, and it is great! I haven't beat it yet, but it is quite possibly one of my favorite games! It easily competes with Final Fantasy.

The greatest Role Playing sequel i have ever played

This was the first true Role Playing Game sequel I have ever played. Sure I have played Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9 ect. but this was the first game that has something to do with the previous game. Don't worry about the cut scenes, you dont need them. What is in the game is a realistic battle system where you see the enemy, combo techniques and strategy. I can't tell you how many times I died in this game. I am 22 and have been playing RPGs since I was 8 and for me to die in a RPG of this age says a lot about the game. Even when I don't consider the excellent graphics, great game play, and good storyline this game still deserves a five simply on the ending alone. I don't want to give away anything but it has to be the most unique boss fight I have had since fighting Kefka in Final Fantasy 3. It alone is worth buying the game. Plus if you go through the game again there are over 9 more different ending. How is that for replay? Parents who are tired of their kids playing violent games with no value need to pick up a copy of Chrono Cross.

Chrono 4 eva!

This game, like chrono trigger, is great. The characters are cool, the animation is excellent, the music is wonderful and the alternate endings are very funny but one thing that isn't clear, even to players of Chrono Trigger, which I only played in Japanese, is what is really going on. I was forced to buy a Japanese guide to get any idea of what the ending actually meant. Nowhere in the game is it even hinted that Serge is the villain (in japanese his name was Mao, I'm not sure what it was in English) of the last game who crossed over into his body, hence altering time and creating an alternate world. Nor is it clear that his sisters soul was split with one half being trapped in a monster and the other being reborn as Kid. There was so much plot in the game which the designers had intended but at no time did they ever even try to let the players know about what was going on. All we ever fing out about is that one of the old heroes ran the orphanage were Kid was brough up. Enough ranting. I just loved this series that is why I am dissapointed at it not being quite as perfect as it otherwise could have been. The points above in no way detract from the enjoyment that you will get from playing the game. Buy it. It is truly cool.

Good, but...

Chrono Cross is a good game. The Graphics and the story are better than those of the last two Final Fantasies. But, the problem is that there is no challenge. RPG newbies this is a game for you. You can't lose this game. No matter what, your characters will all be the same level and they can take down the boss with the right magic. The endings are great. The graphics are incredible and worthy of the Chrono title, but hte game itself lacks challenge. If you've played final fantasy anthologies and thought it was too hard, this is the game for you.

Chrono Cross vs. Final Fantasy

Well, there is really no way to compare these two great series, but I will try. Chrono Cross: Well thought out plot, excellent and deep combat system, and some really deep character development. Final Fantasy: Tried and true battle system (which some people equate to boring), well developed character lines, incredible cutscenes (which CC comes close to equaling), and the lovable chocobo. Conclusion? Both are great videogames, both will keep you entertained for hours, and both will put a strain on your real life relationships and pocketbook. In the end, buy them both, and switch between them when you become frustrated with one of them (and you will).
