Koby Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I loved Chrono Trigger.. but I could never get into Chrono Cross.The controls were gay, and everything else was just too odd for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnawind Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I never got to know too much about Chrono Cross, is it true that it's a sequel to chrono trigger?It actually has nothing to do with Chrono Trigger. It has the same type of story, though, except rather than time, it is dimension in this. The combat system is pretty difficult to get used to for first time players, but it is pretty good, nonetheless. I got to the final dungeon using an emulator too, and if I can find it in stores or on PSN, I would probably get it, unless it was too expensive. I forgot whether or not I actually beat the game, though. It also has a character recruitment system similar to the Suikoden games, since there are many possible characters you can recruit and most of them are optional.

Serge also eventually obtains and cleanses the Masamune sword from Chrono Trigger. Serge also has some dealings with Schala, the princess of the Kingdom of Zeal, who actually becomes Lavos in the Chrono Trigger storyline. So if you read more about it you'll see there is a lot of things about Trigger in Cross and their stories do run together. Chrono Cross is an alternate dimension from the one in Chrono Trigger.Taken directly from Wikipedia:Chrono Cross (クロノ・クロス, Kurono Kurosu?) is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the PlayStation video game console. It is the sequel to Chrono Trigger, which was released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Chrono Cross was developed primarily by scenarist and director Masato Kato and other designers from Chrono Trigger, including art director Yasuyuki Honne and composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Nobuteru Yūki designed the characters of the game.Chrono Cross employs story arcs, characters, and themes from Radical Dreamers, a Satellaview side story to Chrono Trigger released in Japan. An illustrated text adventure, Radical Dreamers was created to wrap up an unresolved plot line of Chrono Trigger. Though it borrows from Radical Dreamers in its exposition, Chrono Cross is not a remake of Radical Dreamers, but a larger effort to fulfill that game's purpose; the plots of the games are irreconcilable. To resolve continuity issues and acknowledge Radical Dreamers, the developers of Chrono Cross suggested the game happened in a parallel dimension. A notable difference between the two games is that Magus—present in Radical Dreamers as Gil—is absent from Chrono Cross. Director Masato Kato originally planned for Magus to appear in disguise as Guile, but scrapped the idea due to plot difficulties. In the DS version of Chrono Trigger, Kato teases the possibility of an amnesiac Magus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really played Chrono Cross since I heard Crono wasn't in it.Sorta like FF-X2 except I had already bought the game and was half-way into it when i realised Tidus was never gonna show up.

MABFanForLife Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I was a pretty big fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idl12 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wait, so this explains what happens to Schala? then I guess I've got no choice but to play it then, does this mean we see Magus at some point in time as well? @Iki, I think the Canon ending would be the one where you completed all the tasks the guy at the end of time told you to do before fighting Lavos.

ragnawind Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I forgot about that sine it was awhile, but they do show up. They only appear near the end of disc one or the start of disc 2, though, but only briefly. That is basically the only connection, though. THe world is vastly different than the one in Chrono Trigger, as far as I remember. The characters from Chrono Trigger only make an appearance near the very end of the game, though, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar18 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 i was pretty into chrono trigger until a certain point in the game when i think i had to fight a certain enemy and he annihilate my party. i quit right after out of frustration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordofelemental Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 yes, i do.. and i really love it until now..it's one of the best way back 1999 - 2000, the soundtrack was really nice and the story is quite nice (chrono trigger is still the best, though). i just feel like most of the games today (rpg's) are not that good since the great RPG age way back in the 1990's. it's good that the graphics are nice nowadays but there are something that lacks in RPG games today.

wolfram003 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Chrono Cross is one of my all-time favorite RPGs for the PSX console. I think I actually enjoyed playing it even more than Chrono Trigger (blasphemy to most, I know). As lordofelemental said, the soundtrack is amazing, and I personally love the storyline of the game.

MABFanForLife Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'm interested in Chrono Cross for PSN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I own the PS1 disc so I have no need of it coming to PSN. Though I'd like to see them bring even more so people can enjoy more classics. I've just never been a fan of buying something I don't have a physical copy of.Personally I couldn't get into the battle system of Chrono Cross.Chrono Trigger was awesome though.

Ragna Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Chrono Cross was awesome! Still boot it up from time to time even now. So many characters in your party and being able to switch on the fly.That in itself makes it one of the most epic RPGs ever. No RPG has ever come close to how many characters are in this...at least, I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullshadow Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I'm play it in psx so nostalgic about it so much memory for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgphysics Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Cross is a good game, but I agree that Trigger is even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
