you can say a thousand words and none of them would ever mass the intensity of this part of the game. Its horrifying but beautiful, demonic but awwing, so simple yet so complex.... it's one of the many climaxes of the game, but among all of them, this one hits home the hardest
You know what would have made this game better? A cast of Serge, Kid, Harle, and Guile (Magus with the original plotline they wrote) like they originally intended. Throw in Glenn too, I guess, but name him something else to avoid confusion. Ten thousand extra characters without any development did not need to be there. That was a really stupid trade-off that they're too late in admitting was a stupid trade-off.
The plot originally never had anything to do with CT and was thrown together hastily at the last minute so they could make money off of exploiting our nostalgia.
Case in point:
Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, published by EA.
I'd highly recommend playing Chrono Trigger, then playing Crimson Echoes, then playing this game. It helps to blend the two together into an intricate and well-thought storyline instead of the mish-mash they left us with officially.
@jcdenton2k Not true (unless you're going for sarcasm). They plotted it out carefully, but had to cut a few things to keep their budget and timeline. There's quite a bit of information available online on the production and how they wanted to tie the games together in both idealistic and actual version. Chrono Compendium is a good source.
I've tried Crimson Echoes but gave up when the battles became exponentially more unbalanced as the game went on. If anyone puts out a save state, I'll try it.
This game is incredible, the characters, the story, I love how everyone is entangled in this huge web of fate. Now I believe I will replay this. For the millionth time.
I thought the opening piano lick sounded familiar, but I had to dig around to find it: It's the motive used in the Sealed Door track from Chrono Trigger.
That music only popped up a couple of times in Chrono Trigger, but it's one of the more awesome tracks in an already awesome score.
I remember the first time I played this game, I borrowed it from a friend. I got stuck in the fight against Miguel. To this day, he gives me more difficulty than any other boss in the game.
It took me a few years to get past him, because by the time I got my ass handed to me by him a few times and finally beat him, I had to return the game to my friend.
Finally bought a copy for myself from another friend who wanted to sell his. Now he wants one again XD
What is the instrument I hear at 1:04-1:26? It comes right after the drum. Is it an xylophone or is it a woodwind instrument. Thanks to anyone who knows for sure.

It fits the scenery so perfectly - a future that never was. Yet somehow, the music gave me an eerie solace that told me to stay there forever and become a part of this doomed but tranquil paradise that got lost in time...
I just... can't imagine how awesome would this game be if they made a remake
with today's graphics... It'd be too damn awesome. Everyone would think it's the best game ever, or at least the best rpg ever, Im completely sure of it.
I live up in Maine, where it's almost always cloudy around fall and winter. After reaching the Dead Sea and getting, maybe TOO immersed in the game, every time I went outside to take a break and I saw the sky was totally covered in clouds, I damn near soiled my jeans. Didn't help that we live close to the ocean too...
@batmanpronz i agree most people today dont even seem human theyre very vain and greedy its pretty hard to see the positive when theres zero catalyst for change
Reason why video games lack art these days is because they re too busy making the graphics look so realistic and it takes so much time to release...if they intend to spend time on every detail on games today with the present graphics.But developers are greedy these days and need money to live life so they have to release games fast or they can end up going bankrupt ...
Something is better than nothing is their motto these days i guess.
Shut the hell up, Bastard! Damn these people with their 'cool' words and swears. I wish you'd all go to hell! -Sorry for the bad words, but I get really pissed of some times-
Dark mist swirles around, consuming the light. In the darkness is a pulsing evil. It grows stronger every second and will soon burst forth. A shimmering sadness spirals in and dissapears under the cruel waves of death. Thunderous crashings sound emit from the evil and knock every hope of of sight. All there is to do is wait.. A figure lurks behind the mass and conducks it to its will.The dark pulses further and converts the world to a pure orb of evil.There is no hope,just run,and hide..........
There is just so emotion in this song. It honestly makes you think of doomsday, and the fear of being alone. The characters in the game even felt dead just looking around them. This song is just... Haunting.
Haha I'm young, but I like rpg's more then fps. I don't consider fall out and those games to be rpgs.... They're fps despite what people may say!!! :O Loved ff series chrono trigger and cross and also tales of series persona and much mroe o.o sorry for bad grammar didn't care about it whe nwriting this :D
This song as eerie, dreadful, and makes you almost shiver. The scene when i saw heard this, a entire city, being destroyed and leveled but all of it frozen, at the eve of destruction. Makes you wonder right? How would a city look if a nuclear bomb hit and everything froze halfway through, man, scares me thinking about it. But this is one of my top 5 tracks that I love from this soundtrack.
This song is the perfect "What the hell" theme for the dead sea. Alright, so you've travelled around the country and it's a cute little tropical paradise. Enter the portal and nobody knows what's on the other side. What do you find? The dead sea, a massive hi-tech civilization being destroyed by an enormous tidal wave... Frozen in time at the point of impact. It was eerie walking around in there and I kept thinking "What the hell happened to this place?" for a long, long time.
Same thing... This and the moment with the Van Gogh painting-like place were "What the heck... !?" moments... but in a very good way (especially the Van Gogh painting... as I was sick when I played this part... I felt like I was on drugs or something... surreal moment)!
Sigh... I miss the Yasunori Mitsuda from a few years back... I played Soma Bringer recently and I hardly paid attention to his music. I was so sadden by this :(
I think the Dead Sea represented a place that was so badly effected by Schala's electrical storm that the FATE computer was fried and it was frozen OUTSIDE of time. Therefore I think it would have the Black Omen effect like in Chrono Trigger. If you were to travel 10000 in the past of CC, the Dead Sea would be there. 10000 years in the future, it would still be there.
Holy shit, I forgot how amazing this song was. Like, fuck. Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu are the greatest musicians/artists that have ever walked the earth.
I don't know why but this song makes me cry, makes me feel sad and unsettled or confused i don't know... I think in post apocalyptical scenes. btw a masterpiece
Damn. Imagine the feeling you got when you first got to the Dead Sea. Alone... Lost... Confused.... This track fits so damn well. It's like all those emotions presented in musical format. GENIUS!!!
Well, "Devourer of Time" seems like a closure to me. Expanding it would just ruin the game. Serge and Kid get married, guys from trigger are already gone, lets leave it at that.
Well there is always the potential for more as long as time and dimensional travel exist. In fact that seems to be why the original Chrono crew are gone.
That's a good question, there seems to be something big going on the main continent during the events of Cross so that is a decent spot. Also we know next to nothing about Lavos, there could be more of them out there, so that's always a possibility. Though I think a Chrono game needs a bit of Lavos in there somewhere.
Unless Lavos is the only one of it's species, which may be the case. I would really enjoy knowing more about Lavos if they ever make another chrono game. Or if they remade Cross. On another note there is that whole Assassin of Time angel that was being built up with Serge that ended up not going anywhere.
Maybe a new game would be about the rise of Porre and the fall of Guardia kingdom! and they must answer to this: what happened to Crono, Marle and Lucca before the Cross events?
Yeah, that Chrono Break or whatever is what called. You know at the end of the game where you see that message that says, "I'll find you. Even if I have to search the world over. I'm sure of it."? I'm pretty sure that's Magus from Chrono Trigger searching for Schala, or her clone at least. In Lucca's letter to Kid, it even says that Magus would be searching for her, so that's why there should be another game.
Two things. First of all, Schala speaks Australian now and the message subtitles was normal English. Second of all, if you are right, then you just kind of ruined it for me. Magus is still searching for Schala you know.
Kid speaks with Australian accent, but Schala (As in the real, ORIGINAL Schala) has a neutral accent. The letter in the end of the game was written by Schala, and it says she will look for Serge, no matter the timeline, and that she will find him someday.
The game implies that they got separated after the ending, and that Schala (Now merged with Kid) is looking for Serge (Or a reincarnation of Serge, since Schala is seen in the future wandering around.
Sorry, but just recently a Square-Enix rep said that they were pretty dissapointed with Chrono Trigger DS's sales, so that may kill the possibilities for a new game somewhat.
I'm also a big Chrono fan, and of course I would like to see a new game in the series (Set in the future? That would be freakin' awesome). But Square-Enix seems to have no interest on reviving the series. Have you checked the AMAZING fan project that Square-Enix shut down recently? It was called "Crimsom Echoes".
Chrono Trigger was a great success on its own WITHOUT the rehashing. If Square-Enix didn't focus so much on the rehashing, they might've seen Chrono Trigger ON ITS OWN from the SNES was great enough to have another go at it- Chrono Cross seems like it could do wonderfully on its own without trying to be a sequel. And if it were called anything else, I would've loved CC just as much.
As much as I would love Chrono Break to come to fruition, I am strongly against SquareEnix touching it. I love Squaresoft, but HATEHATEHATE SquareEnix.
kids today are more focused on the HALO's and GEARS OF WARS of the world to spend money on classic JRPGs...Chrono 3 should have come out before 2005 cuz now people just dont care for those types of games anymore....its really really sad cuz we all want closure on Schala / Magus....there's so much room to expand that story.
Magus and Schala pretty much carry both Chrono games on their backs, as far as story goes...and I just want some CLOSURE DAMNIT
@Toinye well actually im a pretty hardcore halo and gears of wars fan and i have to agree with you with everyone today not even paying attention to all of these epicly classic games. But i do have to say that chrono cross is the best game i have ever played in my life. completley dominates halo + gears of war + god of war all put together ;D
@Toinye Video games are strictly a business nowadays. Artistic beauty in video games is less common than ever before. What a shame and waste of talent.
@Toinye Old school gamers like us cannot understand the new ways of gamers.. They preffer to say "I will kill you mutha fukar" while we, gentlemens, preffer to says "I will knock you out" [FFI Garland's reference].
@IPITYTHEFOOLZ Hun, the newer generaltion like only what is fed to them and there are two ways that happens: internet and television. Whatever is advertised and they see, they will want. it will appeal to them. Then they become so accustomed to this new, rapid paced gameplay and being told the story auditorily that going back to the RPG roots where you have to read and take things slow is poposterous to them. It's not exactly stereotyping because this is the way or the newer generation.
@Toinye I care about games like this, even though i've beat Halo 1, 2, 3, and Gears of War 2. But most people in my age group do just care Halo, CoD, Gears...
@Toinye Some point, I agree with you. But, Halo and Gears of War are not bad game, if is that what you mean. Actually, they are great games, with great history. But the you feel the emotion in a diferent way, in another perspective.
The picture at the end of the game is suppposed to be Schala and Serge together. It's all so convoluted... First time I saw it I wanted to believe it was Magus :'(

Sort of reminds me of FF 8's world map theme. Not by the actual music but the atmosphere it sets.

Damn. Imagine the feeling you got when you first got to the Dead Sea. Alone... Lost... Confused.... This track fits so damn well. It's like all those emotions presented in musical format. GENIUS!!!

Well, "Devourer of Time" seems like a closure to me. Expanding it would just ruin the game. Serge and Kid get married, guys from trigger are already gone, lets leave it at that.

Well there is always the potential for more as long as time and dimensional travel exist. In fact that seems to be why the original Chrono crew are gone.
ageant01 2 years ago
but who'd be the enemy? Lavos? he's dead, so is fate and lynx, maybe in a paralell universe, new heroes, new bad guys new everything? maybe.
Eltroim 2 years ago 4
That's a good question, there seems to be something big going on the main continent during the events of Cross so that is a decent spot. Also we know next to nothing about Lavos, there could be more of them out there, so that's always a possibility. Though I think a Chrono game needs a bit of Lavos in there somewhere.
ageant01 2 years ago
The original Lavos was making Lavos Spawn, so that means... it itself must have come from somewhere.
leafbarrett 2 years ago
Unless Lavos is the only one of it's species, which may be the case. I would really enjoy knowing more about Lavos if they ever make another chrono game. Or if they remade Cross. On another note there is that whole Assassin of Time angel that was being built up with Serge that ended up not going anywhere.
ageant01 2 years ago
Maybe a new game would be about the rise of Porre and the fall of Guardia kingdom! and they must answer to this: what happened to Crono, Marle and Lucca before the Cross events?

kurtisimoiscool 2 years ago
Yeah, that Chrono Break or whatever is what called. You know at the end of the game where you see that message that says, "I'll find you. Even if I have to search the world over. I'm sure of it."? I'm pretty sure that's Magus from Chrono Trigger searching for Schala, or her clone at least. In Lucca's letter to Kid, it even says that Magus would be searching for her, so that's why there should be another game.
royalkingmatt 2 years ago
The one who says the "I'll find you" line is supossed to be Schala. She is looking for Serge.
owenitzura 2 years ago
Two things. First of all, Schala speaks Australian now and the message subtitles was normal English. Second of all, if you are right, then you just kind of ruined it for me. Magus is still searching for Schala you know.
royalkingmatt 2 years ago
Kid speaks with Australian accent, but Schala (As in the real, ORIGINAL Schala) has a neutral accent. The letter in the end of the game was written by Schala, and it says she will look for Serge, no matter the timeline, and that she will find him someday.
The game implies that they got separated after the ending, and that Schala (Now merged with Kid) is looking for Serge (Or a reincarnation of Serge, since Schala is seen in the future wandering around.
owenitzura 2 years ago
I guess...
Man, you totally ruined it, I thought Magus said that...
Oh well, I heard rumors for another game coming out
royalkingmatt 2 years ago
Sorry, but just recently a Square-Enix rep said that they were pretty dissapointed with Chrono Trigger DS's sales, so that may kill the possibilities for a new game somewhat.
I'm also a big Chrono fan, and of course I would like to see a new game in the series (Set in the future? That would be freakin' awesome). But Square-Enix seems to have no interest on reviving the series. Have you checked the AMAZING fan project that Square-Enix shut down recently? It was called "Crimsom Echoes".

You're kidding me, right?
I mean.
Chrono Trigger was a great success on its own WITHOUT the rehashing. If Square-Enix didn't focus so much on the rehashing, they might've seen Chrono Trigger ON ITS OWN from the SNES was great enough to have another go at it- Chrono Cross seems like it could do wonderfully on its own without trying to be a sequel. And if it were called anything else, I would've loved CC just as much.

As much as I would love Chrono Break to come to fruition, I am strongly against SquareEnix touching it. I love Squaresoft, but HATEHATEHATE SquareEnix.
ViscidViscera 2 years ago 5
While I don't "hate" Square-Enix, I agree in that the quality of their titles is far inferior to previous Squaresoft games.
Besides, wasn't the "Chrono team" bought by Nintendo? (Monolith Software). They are the same people who developed Xenogears and Xenosaga.

kids today are more focused on the HALO's and GEARS OF WARS of the world to spend money on classic JRPGs...Chrono 3 should have come out before 2005 cuz now people just dont care for those types of games anymore....its really really sad cuz we all want closure on Schala / Magus....there's so much room to expand that story.
Magus and Schala pretty much carry both Chrono games on their backs, as far as story goes...and I just want some CLOSURE DAMNIT
Toinye 2 years ago 85
Dude, you have nooo idea how much I've been thinking about how this story could close. I want an ending! Something proper, instead of pure ambiguity!
It's such a great story too! Or, both Chrono Trigger and Cross have great stories. And Magus is my favourite character, so...

@Toinye well actually im a pretty hardcore halo and gears of wars fan and i have to agree with you with everyone today not even paying attention to all of these epicly classic games. But i do have to say that chrono cross is the best game i have ever played in my life. completley dominates halo + gears of war + god of war all put together ;D

@IPITYTHEFOOLZ Hun, the newer generaltion like only what is fed to them and there are two ways that happens: internet and television. Whatever is advertised and they see, they will want. it will appeal to them. Then they become so accustomed to this new, rapid paced gameplay and being told the story auditorily that going back to the RPG roots where you have to read and take things slow is poposterous to them. It's not exactly stereotyping because this is the way or the newer generation.
