Biggest dissapointment

To begin, the story line is one of the most boring ones I have ever seen. 20 minutes into the game I was punching myself inorder to stay awake. You get to the world map 20 minutes into the game, which is pretty bad. The battle system in TERRBILE. THE ONLY WAY TO ACTUALLY GET THIS BATTLE SYSTEM IS TO READ WAT TAHT OLD GUY HAS TO SAY. HIS LECTURE IS ATLEAST 3 PAGES IF IT WAS PRINTED OUT. After geting about 1/3 of what he had to say, I really didnt feel like reading what every one of the 50,000 boring characters in this game had to say. Im ashamed that Squre made this game. (ff9 is the best) The ending has nothing to do with the boring storyline. Also, I see no similarities if I was to compare this to Chrono Trigger.

If u have trouble sleeping, get this. Its a guarenteed way to make you fall asleep in 10 minutes or less.

Prepare for Dissapointment

I was told by many people that Chrono Trigger was one of the best games ever created, so I decided to try out the sequel. This is easily the worst video game that I have ever played. First, let me start off with saying that the graphics are outstanding. The in-game graphics features incredibly realistic character movements, and to date are the best that I have ever encountered. The towns and other areas are beautiful and realistic, wonderfully done. Also, the cutscenes are of a unique style, significant, and well pulled-off. (though I saw more of Serge than I ever wanted to). However, it all ends there. The cutscenes are very few and far between, the game being agonizingly short. Apparently there are two cutscenes in the beginning sequence of the game (which, by the way, is the best beginning sequence I've ever seen) which were never showed in the game. The game starts out quite well, and for the first 5 hours or so of gameplay, maybe pushing 7 or 8, the game is quite enjoyable. It's all downhill from there. By far there are too many characters, and so even Kid and Serge are not fully developed. The only character that is round and intriguing is Harle. Every one of the 40+ characters indeeds has a motive and personality, but they are all so rarely present that it is a challenge to care at all about any of them, even by the end of the game. As for the "multiple endings" theory, if you don't want to know (i'm not going to spoil the actual ending), stop reading here. The original ending has perhaps a 1 minute cutscene followed by a 30 second one, and has the credits. (by the way, the song that plays during the credits is quite nice). Any other ending often has most of the people acting out of character, and depends in no way upon how you play the game. The choices you make in this game in no way affect the outcome, as you may be led to believe. To get any other endings at all, you must in fact replay the entire game once more. I have played the following video games: Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Final Fantasy Tactics, Lunar SSS, and Chrono Cross. Chrono Cross is by far the worst, having a good basis of a plot which was simply carried out horribly. As I said in the title, especially if you've played Chrono Trigger, prepare for dissapointment.

More like Chrono Crap!

Please promise me you will never play this. It is not worth your time. If you paid money for it, try to find the person you gave that money to and kick them in the shin. Hard. Then throw your copy of this game in the dumpster.

Seriously though, this game is absolutely terrible. The graphics are bad even for the PSX, the combat quickly becomes boring as all hell, the story line was confused and the fact that there was a second dimension pointless. There was no reason for there being 40 something characters, most of them were exactly the same statwise, and all of them were poorly designed. The most annoying thing in the world, bar nothing, is having to re-equip all your character's spells whenever you switch characters. You have like 50 spell slots. God. I don't think I even need to say it, but those crumbums at Square couldn't pull another hit out of their oversized victorian tophats if they wanted too. They should really stick with straight to video Final Fantasy 7 anime movies from now on, lest they risk making something like this again.

this game looks good, and the story is great but the game does not deliver the goods. The problem I have most with the game is serge the main character never talks, that is just plain lazyness you just get the feeling that serge is just lifeless and is not intristing at all. Since the game has so many characters in it, it seems that most of the other characters as lifeless as serge and have no pointe in ever bieng introduced to the plot.I feel thair is a limit to the number of characters in a game that will still make the game intristing. And I am sorry Game Informer, but this game does not restore my faith in the modern RPG(you have to read thair great magazine to know what I am talking about) Square could do better, I have seen it done.

A very poor excuse of a game

I played Chrono Trigger before this game, and what a great game that was, one of the best ever. Then I went out and got this game and couldn't believe how bad it was. For one thing, there are a ton of characters, which only Serge and two others can battle at once. The battles are absolute torture. I hate the sysytem of percentage points for each type of hit. Even if your over 90% you miss half the time. The only game that I have ever played that successfully pulled that type of battle system off was Xenogears. The element system is a waste because you can only use a specific one once per battle, and they last a long time. They don't do a very good job of character development (except fo the main chracters). The story is just as boring as the gameplay. The only redeeming thing about this game is the graphics. Save your money for something that you can actually enjoy.

What happened squaresoft?

I'm not sure which came out first, but after seeing all the good reviews for this, and the fact that I liked FF7, This looked like a good buy. Ok, it has a decent combat system. Ok, it has good graphics. This plot makes no sence! After the begining, I have no idea why the characters are doing what they are, execpt that they are forcing the game to go a certian way.

Biggest Dissapointment.......

Okay. When i first bought that sorry-excuse for a game, i was sooooo hyped up. I was thinking, SQUARESOFT HAS DONE IT AGAIN!! I put the game into my PS and start playing to soon discover.....theres no EXP. Then more bad stuff comes my way... I find out you dont level up. AT ALL. Their idea of leveling up is fighting a billin battles and then having your HP go up 1 or something. THEN, you have this ... battle and magic system. Words can hardly describe how bad it was. The story was ... I have a friend who actually stuck it out and played through the whole game (boy do i feel sorry for him) and the ending....HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME.

on a positive note, it had good music. thats the only reason you should buy this game...no, wait, just buy the soundtrack.

and oh yeah...... THEY ... OFF CRONO.

dont play this game. its poison to your mind. No where near as good as FF7 or FF8 or FF9.

Very Good Game But One Problem

I love this game and think it is one of the greatest games of all time. That is why I recently purchased it from Amazon (or Hitgaming, but through Amazon). The game is great, but there is just one problem: the game freezes! At this one cutscene the game freezes and you cannot play it anymore. So, I called the customer support people at Square Enix and he said (God's honest truth) that there is a problem with the Chrono Cross games that Amazon sells. Also, for some reason the game freezes on a Playstation One and Two, but not a Playstation Three. Anyways, I mailed the game to Square Enix and they are gonna replace it with a working copy. So in conclusion, be warned! Do not buy this game from Amazon or you will have to pay for shipping and handling both to and from for a replacement.

Should in no way be related to Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger was a great game. I was disapointed when played its so called sequal. The battle system [...], they took away part of the game that makes it a great rpg like items magic techs and much much more to a boring turn based battle of the same thing. You wont like this game unless your under the age of five, even then you'll think the story was writting for someone even younger than that. SquareSoft needs to make another sequal having Crono (from the orignal, and the greatest charecter of all time) wakes up from a horrible night mare and be like "heh like that ever gonna happen." I would give this a 0 or negeative stars if I could and is not even worth 5 dollars in my oppion but that is mine you have your own to make, I strongly sugest you dont purchase this game

Chrono Cross ssshhhuuuccckkkss. I played Chrono trigger after chrono cross and it is still the worst game I have ever played. I mean the grafics weren't that good and the story line was totaly messed up. the only good thing that was on the game was the music. the ending was comepletely not with the story line it didn't even match the game. it had nothing to do with the game. I mean it had more to do with the frist game then it did with the second game. I have been playing RPG games a long time and can tell if the game is five stars or one star and this game is a big ONE STAR.
