Chrono Cross is an omniverse composition of beautiful artwork (graphic - design - text - soundtrack likewise) and most complex philosophical story of immense value, covering whole bio-socio-psychological inter-relations of each individua in their existence on this planet through several protagonists. Although at the beginning it appears as if we're dealing with a somewhat cliché plot, it soon reveals to be incredibly developed and deep, finally to expand into almost infinite creative complexion, awakening hundreds of questions, and offering possible answers men since Antic try to find. Chrono Cross is not just a Playstation Game, it's a masterpiece of written and drawn expression, it goes far beyond any other game in these terms, and proposes thrilling experience to perceptive gamer. Apart from this, in logic to the entire game, it offers incredible reply value and contains massive amount of secrets to be revealed, not even in 20 reruns will you find everything. You will get no information about the very content from me - should you find this review interesting and luring, get a game without checking, and play it for the wisdom and knowledge it offers.
Although not as successful as Squaresoft's Final Fantasy series, the Chrono duo of games (Trigger and this one) show that Squaresoft isn't just a one game machine. Just look at the great graphics, the possiblity of having 45 playable character, not to mention great CG sequences and multiple endings and you'll see why this game is truly the last best game for the PlayStation...look for it now, it's really inexpensive and well worth the price.
Chrono Cross is a great game, and is second only to Chrono Trigger. Cross' only flaw was too many characters, thus not having a good solid story for every character. However all main characters had good character development. The story may have been somewhat better than the first game, but Chrono Trigger still has a leg up on Chrono Cross I believe. This game is worth buying...like now, yes its that good. 9/10
I have to say this game was amazing. You can get over 40 characters in the game. Not only that, picking different choices in conversations actually lets you do completely different things. Its a non-linear game, which gives you tons of freedom. The battle-system is original, no ATB, and you can run away from everything with a 100% chance of getting away every time, even with bosses. One of the things that makes this game shine is its sense of humor. I almost laughed out loud when I heard Ketchop talking, what he was saying, I mean. Its a must own for any person who's a fan of RPG's. You probably won't like it if your not the biggest role-playing game fan, but still, its awesome.
Chrono Cross is absolutely amazing. Everything about this game, in my opinion, is practically perfect: the graphics, the music, the characters, the storyline. If you loved Chrono Trigger, then you will definitely love Chrono Cross. I would recommend this game to any RPG lover.
