Of course CC soundtrack was better, it had multiple CDs of data it could hold, verses a single cartridge from Chrono Trigger. CC wasn't a very good game anyways
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as Chrono Cross. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
Ahhh, Chrono Cross.. <3 This and Final Fantasy IX were my favorite RPGs when I was a young girl. ^-^ Also had my favorite soundtracks - Dragon God being one of my uber faves. SO DRAMATIC SOUNDING. XD
@slightlyoutofreach01 you don't have anything to be sorry lol, everyone has it's own taste I love this game, but that doesn't mean everyone should love it =D
@slightlyoutofreach01 Same here..... I really want to replay it again though. Cant deny the epic-ness of the music though :D God bless Mr. Mitsuda. The over world theme in the beginning is one of the best there is I think.
I'll say that I didn't find the game to be the greatest thing since sliced bread (I remember the magic system annoyed the hell out of me, though it's been so long that I have a hard time remembering much else, or for that matter what annoyed me about the magic system) but I recall that it was, at worst, competent, which is still better than a lot of the stuff these days.
you know virtually 90% of the rpgs that made this list are pre-ps2 days - aka. snes, ps1, gameboy. That just goes to show the quality of the soundtracks coming out on these new rpgs. I have nothing against the ps3 or xbox360, but there lacks quality rpgs nowadays (FF13 was bland, WKC is boring, etc, etc)
@kylesico912 i was just making an observation that tracks nowadays are lacking. There are a few good gems like the FF13 battle theme (which is one of my favorites) and Lost Odyssey (created by none other than sakaguchi and composed by Nobuo Uematsu). The graphics are vastly improved and so is the gameplay, but there seems to be a lack of quality storylines and soundtracks that seem to fit the game.
Chrono Cross just tries too hard IMO. I lost interest after I finally got through the HOLY DRAGON SWORD crap. Why? I realised it wasn't fun.
The story keeps placing TWEESTS and just makes it way too complicated to understand at all until your tenth playthrough.
Battle system is average, too easy when fighting normal enemies since you can fully heal at little to no cost. HDS boss is way too OP, luck is the only way to beat him, bosses after him are so much easier.
oh I remember this theme getting my blood pumping like crazy when it was time to fight the dragons. So epic... it almost felt like a final boss battle.
I got Chrono Cross and FF7 at about the same time( when I was 8, I just started getting into games), and I loved chrono cross so much more I played it over about 5 times. FF7 was amazing as well but that was a 2 times play through for me I loved it but Chrono Cross was far better
If CC was remade for the 3DS as CT was remade for the DS, I'd be such a happy man. I was introduced to CT through the DS version and I've never played this one yet. Make it NAOW.
@FuctUpKid23 not really but CC had too many characters to control... they couldn't kept a lot of them as just important people to talk to... not use in the party..
Everything about Chrono Trigger was timeless. Play the SNES version of CT and there's no ending FMV where Kid's character is introduced. My point being is that Chrono Trigger didn't really need to be related to Chrono Cross in any way. As two separate games they're both good, but in a comparison test, Chrono Trigger will always win by default as it's one of the greatest games of all time. It's like comparing an old Disney movie to a modern Pixar flick.
@42Tonyallen42 absolutely...!!! the same characters, the same storylines, but with better quality....!! it would kick all the other games in the butt....!!!! lol
This brings back great memories. First rpg i played where i liked all the soundtracks. I lost count on how many times i replayed this game, but i had everytime. Oh god...this song makes me feel so gooood. :D
I keep seeing people saying Chrono Cross was a sequel to Chrono Trigger. That is incorrect. Chrono Cross is NOT a sequel. There are some similarities between the two, but Cross isn't a sequel.
Anyways, I absolutely loved both of the Chrono's. I need to beat Cross, so I'm going to download it right now. Haha.
Yeah, the plot itself isn't the problem really. It's the pacing of it that's horrible. There's some story in the beginning, bits and pieces in the middle, then practically nothing for hours, then they dump the whole thing on you pretty much all at once before the final boss.
Chrono Trigger still has its placei n my heart as one of the best games of all time. That and starfox. They should have call Cross almost an entirely different game, when I played it my brain died slightly. A good game on its own it should not have been a sequel.
how did skies of arcadia not make it anywhere on this list? Near the top at that. That game had great battle songs, composition wise and through any other perspective. i love chrono cross soundtrack but im not feeling this number.
This two games are more connected than you can imagine.When the Ocean Palace was destroyed,Schala used the last remains of her powers to send you out of there.I don't remember quite well how;but in some part of that disaster,Lavos from another time line fused with Schala to form the Time Devourer.That's why you can see them together in the final battle.You should fight the Dream Devourer from Chrono Trigger DS to understand this a little bit more.
Fighting that huge dragon with this theme....nostalgia. This is one of those unforgettable themes that the music indicates just how important the battle is.
Amen to that and the replayability with all the different endings, and the endings werent bs either they were quality unlike some of these other games with multiple endings.
@tubebandito Not if you actually enjoyed Chrono Trigger it ain't. Serge is a Gary Stu, and everything about the storyline fucks with everything that made Chrono Trigger so magical.
@PencilShavings Well I do apologize that Chrono Cross gets it's ass handed to itself by a ridiculous amount of rpg in every single renowned popularity poll there is.
Remember kids. Just because YOU like something does not mean it is good. Fact is Chrono cross was an average rpg at best.
@MrSlaide Remember kid, just because YOU think something is "average at best" does not necessarily mean it is. Fact is that Chrono Cross was an extremely popular and highly rated RPG, and let's not forget the difference between "fact" and "opinion", which your post clearly shows you have a weak grasp of.
@okamimiyazaki Actually kiddo the only reason why Chrono cross was deemed popular was because it got attention due to being an illegitimate child of chrono trigger. Then people realized it was just an average rpg at best and thus why it gets beaten by most rpg's it ever goes up agaisnt in popularity polls. Any polls really. You can keep convincing yourself of the contrary and I'll just ask you a known contest cross ever won. Or did will on just to give you a fighting chance.
I read a whole lot of opinion but no facts, evidence, or logic to back it up. Thank you for spewing out your opinion and convincing yourself of superiority though.
@xXWindG0dXx The day you can come up with the link of a non biased popularity poll where your shitty game did well is the day I'll acknowledge this game as something other than under whelming.
@MrSlaide Dude, the game won several GOTY awards (beating out FF9 a few times) and remains popular to this day. If thats not enough to say that this game is, to a lot of people, exceedingly good..I don't know what is. You're mixing up your opinion with fact.
Anyway, Mitsuda is pretty much the best RPG composer, even if his songs sometimes sound a little too dramatic.
I really enjoyed this game, but I never really thought of it as a direct sequel. The games are related yes, but it's not like you actually see any recurring characters (minus the three spirits and Prometheus's lines, oh and Balthasar). It does help to answer some of the questions you might of had from Chrono Trigger, but if it had to be a sequel to anyhting it'd be a sequel to Radical Dreamer ( With both Kid and Serge coming back).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@AdmiralKickA55 I like to pretend that Chrono Cross never happened. However, I will have to admit this - the score to this game is actually pretty dam decent.
I think the biggest thing about Cross that put people off was that it was really, really different from Chrono Trigger. Honestly, the plot tie-ins seemed more like formalities to force it to be a sequel, rather than reasons in themselves for it to be a sequel. Returning characters seemed really OOC and everything tried too hard to be poetic. In addition, the gameplay merely pretended to be different and was ultimately the same old. Chrono Cross is a good game to be sure, but it has its faults.
Pretty much. A few tie-ins does'nt make it an entirely new sequel, which is why to me it has more of a 'Gaiden' type feel. But don't put it pass everyone else. They'll target your opinions just because you choose to think differently, which is absurd. I mean....... c'mon...... Final Fantasy XII pratically had the feel of Vagrant Story, yet they tried to pass it off as something new (Laughs to self). Man, it's like people are programmed to be, think, and act the same on youtube... = P
Vargrant026 man. I think CC is a sequel because the story wouldn't exist w/ out the events of CT :p Sure is has some tie ins here and there, but wrapping up (um, sorta) Schala's story and managing the after affects of Crono's time hopping really drive the story for me. Why is Serge the time egg? When did Crono drop the ball?! Why is the Masamune (Grandlion) evil? etc etc.
Probably because CT created a plot from scratch, while CC relied more on battles rather than story. CC is a GREAT game, but it just didn't feel like a true sequel. It wasn't disappointing because it was a bad game, but it was more or less for the constant lack of plot development, and the many unanswered questions that came after it. Nor was it smart to add 30+ playable characters that had no relevance to the plot whatsoever. And the fact that it only made cheap references to CT doesn't help.
Not to be Captain Bastard, but the name "Chrono" might have something to do with it. But seriously, if you create hype based on a previous work, it's kind of a sworn duty to make up for that hype by creating: a direct sequel. (E.G.) Resident Evil 2 was a great tie in from RE 1 as advertised by Capcom, so it works. But Chrono Cross was supposed to be a direct sequel from SquareSoft, yet there was too many gaps and inconsistencies for it to be a concrete sequel. It's a Great game, I'm just saying.
Sworn duty? Give me a break. You must be pissed at Rockstar since Vice City wasn't a direct sequel to GTA3; since FF8 wasn't a direct sequel to FF7. Did they say they were going to make a direct sequel and didn't? If so then the shits on them.
Or did they say, 'from the creators of Chrono Trigger' and people got their hopes up with false exceptions? If that's the case then it's the hype mongers who are the morons.
Dude, you're being ridiculous right now. First and foremost, my opinion, my views. Seconldy, I personally don't give a fuck about the GTA franchise, or most Rockstar games. And thirdly, do you remember the the LOZ Wind Waker situation? What happened to the E3 exposure that we saw before? It wasn't in the game, that's for sure. And since you want to put me in the 'moron' category, only morons attack comments which are based on personal opinion. So, come on and join the crowd, you God Damn moron.
(sign).... This again..... you know, I am getting rather tired of people expecting me to have the same cut-in-paste responses that they think I'm supossed to have. Why do I have to see the game the way you, FroLogic, and everyone else sees it? As I said before, throwing a few strong references from the original does not make it a DIRECT sequel. Now, if it was supossed to be from the producers of Chrono Trigger and not an exact sequel of Chrono Trigger, then I would'nt complain.
Now, about the complicated stories part & me not knowing a thing about the story: Simply because it's complicated does'nt mean I can't comprehend, so please... stop trying to insult my intelligence. I just see things differently from most of the programmed/brainwashed sheep that's out here on youtube.
Then, why not point out my flaws? Instead of this grammer school Shit that keeps coming out of your mouth, why not tell me the answers to the questions I have? Because your really not saying too much of anything right now.
Very hard to point out all the things you're wrong about in 500 letters. Theres a lot more than just a few tie ins, when you're in chronopolis you should read a little bit of what the npc's say. You obviously don't know much about the story if you think they dont tie in well together if just at small parts. The weird thing about this whole arguement is it seems you have nothing to argue about just randomly getting insulted and throwing bad points in here and there.
@marinafart You're not weighing on the conversation. In fact, you're not even talking about the game in anyway, form or fashion. I know that my English is not 100% (American English in it's perfection remains to be broken altogether). But, that's besides the point. We're not talking about English. So not to be childish, but STFU.
@marinafart And I think I know what I was doing. I was putting an emphasis on the word shit, because that was the only thing coming out of his mouth. And what's this with "you're"? "Instead of this grammer school Shit that keeps coming out of "you are" mouth"? Does that even sound right? (LOL) So basically, you only have me on one spelling error... Don't confront people on grammar if you don't know what "you're" are talking about, 'Teach'. English enough for you?

@emazinglyemi I appreciate the heads up about my mispelling. But this however is getting OLD. I make one small mispelling, and all of the youtube community points it out? I suppose I'll wait for you to make an error (which will inevitably happen). Or wait... maybe you never mispelled a word in your life? Of course not. I'm sure you spelled each and every word flawlessly... god forbids that you make any mistakes. But thanks anyway... at least you were kind enough to point it out. = P
@emazinglyemi You clearly took that the wrong way... But in any case, I'm done with this ridiculous discussion alltogether. I made some errors that seldomly happens... get over it. And considering the fact that I can't correct something that has already been done here, your recent comment is honestly quite irrelevant. That is all.
If you think the game isn't more story than anything you should read up on it. Hardly more of a battle game than story. CC by far has one of the most complex story's every and a lot of people don't understand it.
@m3m0rii ? I don't really understand that though personally, I recently played Chrono Trigger for the DS and bought myself a copy of Chrono Cross online. I played it, and absoultely loved it. It had a differing feel that Chrono Trigger that being a bit more darker and confusing in the plot for some people. But It was excatly what I hoped for and more. Though it left some loose strings, I see it as even more reason to keep this series going. So with that, I respectfully disagree with you.
People dont like it because its not the SAME as chrono trigger. People wanted chrono trigger 2, not chrono cross. I agree, the story is good, it just takes FOREVER to get good.
@Tsugandate ya great game... and I dont think they mean its a bad game, just does not have much to do with CT, like every final fantasy game, lol still one of my top favorties
@Tsugandate I think it's a great game as well, but I think because the battle system was a little more different than others, it confused a lot of people. As well as because you got some characters, there were others you weren't able to get. Though it's hard choosing a team anyway. I need to find this game again and beat it!
Fuck X-Play. Standing alongside Chrono Trigger of course it's a few pegs below it; but if you look at it without comparing the two this game was truly outstanding. The music was epic, the story was grand, the battle system was truly innovative. CC was a great game, no matter what X-Play says about it.
Fuck X-Play, because I doubt any of them even got more than 15 hours into Chrono Cross to realize it was a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger.
If you asked Sessler or Webb what the true ending to this game is or who Kid really is or her connection to Chrono Trigger you'd get a "huh?" reply.
Game reviews should always be taken with a giant grain of salt ESPECIALLY RPG ones, because RPGs are enjoyed after the 50+ hour of story all come together...not from a 15 hour romp to write a review.
I guess they changed the last battle fight a bit in the DS CT. (I haven't finished it yet) to resemble and fit the last battle for CC. Look it up if you haven't already =)
Even though I think it was a fantastic game, it really didn't feel like a true sequel to me... it had more of a 'Side Story' feel to it personally. I don't give a Damn about X-Play, but I kinda agree. That game relied more on combat mechanisms rather than actual character development. Sure you had Serge, Kid, and Lynx, but what about the other 60+ heroes and villains in the game? Why are they even there if they truly have no real part to play? I'm saying this, and I love the Chrono franchise.
For all those who have been saying CC's character development is weak... it is extremelty strong. You just have to learn to read between the lines and figure out some of it on your own.
That was the great thing about it, not everything was explained or spoonfed to you. It was different in that sense and that is what made it great.
Trigger was great, and I still sit down and play it a bit here and there, but I find myself going back to Cross a lot more, trying to figure out what the writers and developers were hinting at instead of just out right saying it. That says a lot about a game when years later it can draw you back over and over again, and it stays enjoyable.

This two games are more connected than you can imagine.When the Ocean Palace was destroyed,Schala used the last remains of her powers to send you out of there.I don't remember quite well how;but in some part of that disaster,Lavos from another time line fused with Schala to form the Time Devourer.That's why you can see them together in the final battle.You should fight the Dream Devourer from Chrono Trigger DS to understand this a little bit more.

@PencilShavings Well I do apologize that Chrono Cross gets it's ass handed to itself by a ridiculous amount of rpg in every single renowned popularity poll there is.
Remember kids. Just because YOU like something does not mean it is good. Fact is Chrono cross was an average rpg at best.
MrSlaide 1 year ago
@MrSlaide Remember kid, just because YOU think something is "average at best" does not necessarily mean it is. Fact is that Chrono Cross was an extremely popular and highly rated RPG, and let's not forget the difference between "fact" and "opinion", which your post clearly shows you have a weak grasp of.
okamimiyazaki 1 year ago
@okamimiyazaki Actually kiddo the only reason why Chrono cross was deemed popular was because it got attention due to being an illegitimate child of chrono trigger. Then people realized it was just an average rpg at best and thus why it gets beaten by most rpg's it ever goes up agaisnt in popularity polls. Any polls really. You can keep convincing yourself of the contrary and I'll just ask you a known contest cross ever won. Or did will on just to give you a fighting chance.

I really enjoyed this game, but I never really thought of it as a direct sequel. The games are related yes, but it's not like you actually see any recurring characters (minus the three spirits and Prometheus's lines, oh and Balthasar). It does help to answer some of the questions you might of had from Chrono Trigger, but if it had to be a sequel to anyhting it'd be a sequel to Radical Dreamer ( With both Kid and Serge coming back).

HisDivineShadow245 2 years ago
I'm not saying it's a bad game. It's a good game. It had the idea of making a different take on Chrono. I just don't think it was executed optimally.
capefeather 2 years ago
I think the biggest thing about Cross that put people off was that it was really, really different from Chrono Trigger. Honestly, the plot tie-ins seemed more like formalities to force it to be a sequel, rather than reasons in themselves for it to be a sequel. Returning characters seemed really OOC and everything tried too hard to be poetic. In addition, the gameplay merely pretended to be different and was ultimately the same old. Chrono Cross is a good game to be sure, but it has its faults.
capefeather 2 years ago
Pretty much. A few tie-ins does'nt make it an entirely new sequel, which is why to me it has more of a 'Gaiden' type feel. But don't put it pass everyone else. They'll target your opinions just because you choose to think differently, which is absurd. I mean....... c'mon...... Final Fantasy XII pratically had the feel of Vagrant Story, yet they tried to pass it off as something new (Laughs to self). Man, it's like people are programmed to be, think, and act the same on youtube... = P
Vagrant026 2 years ago
Vargrant026 man. I think CC is a sequel because the story wouldn't exist w/ out the events of CT :p Sure is has some tie ins here and there, but wrapping up (um, sorta) Schala's story and managing the after affects of Crono's time hopping really drive the story for me. Why is Serge the time egg? When did Crono drop the ball?! Why is the Masamune (Grandlion) evil? etc etc.

Tsugandate 2 years ago 56
Probably because CT created a plot from scratch, while CC relied more on battles rather than story. CC is a GREAT game, but it just didn't feel like a true sequel. It wasn't disappointing because it was a bad game, but it was more or less for the constant lack of plot development, and the many unanswered questions that came after it. Nor was it smart to add 30+ playable characters that had no relevance to the plot whatsoever. And the fact that it only made cheap references to CT doesn't help.
Vagrant026 2 years ago
I never understood why people were expecting Cross to bee a direct sequel to Trigger. And then when it wasn't they hold that against it.
I was expecting a spiritual sequel all a long, like the next iteration in a FF title.
FroLogic 2 years ago
Not to be Captain Bastard, but the name "Chrono" might have something to do with it. But seriously, if you create hype based on a previous work, it's kind of a sworn duty to make up for that hype by creating: a direct sequel. (E.G.) Resident Evil 2 was a great tie in from RE 1 as advertised by Capcom, so it works. But Chrono Cross was supposed to be a direct sequel from SquareSoft, yet there was too many gaps and inconsistencies for it to be a concrete sequel. It's a Great game, I'm just saying.
Vagrant026 2 years ago
Sworn duty? Give me a break. You must be pissed at Rockstar since Vice City wasn't a direct sequel to GTA3; since FF8 wasn't a direct sequel to FF7. Did they say they were going to make a direct sequel and didn't? If so then the shits on them.
Or did they say, 'from the creators of Chrono Trigger' and people got their hopes up with false exceptions? If that's the case then it's the hype mongers who are the morons.
FroLogic 2 years ago
Dude, you're being ridiculous right now. First and foremost, my opinion, my views. Seconldy, I personally don't give a fuck about the GTA franchise, or most Rockstar games. And thirdly, do you remember the the LOZ Wind Waker situation? What happened to the E3 exposure that we saw before? It wasn't in the game, that's for sure. And since you want to put me in the 'moron' category, only morons attack comments which are based on personal opinion. So, come on and join the crowd, you God Damn moron.
Vagrant026 2 years ago

(sign).... This again..... you know, I am getting rather tired of people expecting me to have the same cut-in-paste responses that they think I'm supossed to have. Why do I have to see the game the way you, FroLogic, and everyone else sees it? As I said before, throwing a few strong references from the original does not make it a DIRECT sequel. Now, if it was supossed to be from the producers of Chrono Trigger and not an exact sequel of Chrono Trigger, then I would'nt complain.
Vagrant026 2 years ago
Now, about the complicated stories part & me not knowing a thing about the story: Simply because it's complicated does'nt mean I can't comprehend, so please... stop trying to insult my intelligence.

Very hard to point out all the things you're wrong about in 500 letters. Theres a lot more than just a few tie ins, when you're in chronopolis you should read a little bit of what the npc's say. You obviously don't know much about the story if you think they dont tie in well together if just at small parts. The weird thing about this whole arguement is it seems you have nothing to argue about just randomly getting insulted and throwing bad points in here and there.

@m3m0rii ? I don't really understand that though personally, I recently played Chrono Trigger for the DS and bought myself a copy of Chrono Cross online. I played it, and absoultely loved it. It had a differing feel that Chrono Trigger that being a bit more darker and confusing in the plot for some people. But It was excatly what I hoped for and more. Though it left some loose strings, I see it as even more reason to keep this series going. So with that, I respectfully disagree with you.

@Tsugandate I think it's a great game as well, but I think because the battle system was a little more different than others, it confused a lot of people.

Fuck X-Play. Standing alongside Chrono Trigger of course it's a few pegs below it; but if you look at it without comparing the two this game was truly outstanding. The music was epic, the story was grand, the battle system was truly innovative. CC was a great game, no matter what X-Play says about it.
titanking23 2 years ago 3
Fuck X-Play, because I doubt any of them even got more than 15 hours into Chrono Cross to realize it was a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger.
If you asked Sessler or Webb what the true ending to this game is or who Kid really is or her connection to Chrono Trigger you'd get a "huh?" reply.
Game reviews should always be taken with a giant grain of salt ESPECIALLY RPG ones, because RPGs are enjoyed after the 50+ hour of story all come together...not from a 15 hour romp to write a review.

Even though I think it was a fantastic game, it really didn't feel like a true sequel to me... it had more of a 'Side Story' feel to it personally. I don't give a Damn about X-Play, but I kinda agree. That game relied more on combat mechanisms rather than actual character development. Sure you had Serge, Kid, and Lynx, but what about the other 60+ heroes and villains in the game? Why are they even there if they truly have no real part to play? I'm saying this, and I love the Chrono franchise.

For all those who have been saying CC's character development is weak... it is extremelty strong. You just have to learn to read between the lines and figure out some of it on your own.
That was the great thing about it, not everything was explained or spoonfed to you. It was different in that sense and that is what made it great.

Trigger was great, and I still sit down and play it a bit here and there, but I find myself going back to Cross a lot more, trying to figure out what the writers and developers were hinting at instead of just out right saying it. That says a lot about a game when years later it can draw you back over and over again, and it stays enjoyable.
