 Chrono Cross was the perfect follow-up to Chrono Trigger May 30, 2008

If you were blown away by Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross will take you to the next level and blow you away again. Be prepared to dedicate many hours to this wonderful game.
Music, graphics, characters = A+ RPG April 17, 2008
Awesome game, if you like RPGs. It has very little to do with it's predecessor, Chrono Trigger, but it's a great game on it's own.
The graphics are excellent, and even hold up to todays standards. The cutscenes are incredible. And the music is so good you'll want to download a number of the songs. The story is interesting enough to keep you going through the fantasy world. Character developement is minimal because it's spread out among dozens and dozens of characters, and therefore focuses on just a few of them. Exploring the world is a lot of fun, there are various colorful & detailed locations with new foes to vanquish, items to find and new characters to recruit to your side.
The shortcoming is that the game is focused on combat, which gets very monotonous. The combat system does introduce a new style that is creative with flashy effects (and takes some getting used to), you just go through it so often over the course of the game, it becomes a nuisance. Thankfully you can avoid the encounters most of the time if you're not in the mood for it. Also, some might find it annoying that the main character does not speak at all - he has no lines of dialog. Another potential hang up for people could be that to advance the plot, you have to figure out puzzles sometimes. These range from barely challenging to "pull your hair out and scream". At least there are walkthroughs available online in case you get stumped as to where to go and what to do.
Overall, I had a lot of fun with this game, there are some very memorable scenes and distinctive characters, especially the antagonist (fancy word for 'bad guy'). The cutscenes are a joy to behold and the music is beautiful and bold. It's just that whacking enemies with your weapon and casting the same old spells umpteen thousand times gets tiring. Small complaint about an excellent game though, Squaresoft (now SquareEnix) lives up to it's reputation.
One of the Best Games Ever. February 22, 2008
Chrono Cross is a great game, with beautiful visuals and an awesome story. It also have a Very good replay value, because when you beat the game you can start it over with all your items and current status. plus, there are many more secrets unlocked when you beat the game. such as a bonus dungeon and extra bosses.
She loves It February 8, 2008

Thanks Again!!!
Chrono Cross Review January 19, 2008
This is one of the best rpgs for PS1. Its in many respects similar to the FF series. You control a group of up to 3 characters at a time (out of a total pool of about 50 - if you can make them join you) to save the world from total destruction. Without giving away any piece of the story line this can be considered to be the sequil to Chrono Trigger from SNES. Chrono Cross utilizes the Active Time Battle system like most rpgs. There are also summons, however, unlike in most FF games they are not limited to certain characters. The graffics are half way decent for PS1 standards which means they are bad with todays standards. The FMVs are still watchable though
bottom line, if you still have a PS1 or feel like playing some 'retro rpg' games pick this one up and you wont be disappointed
