A handful of meta story twists occasionally remind you that, yes, you’re playing a video game, which adds an extra layer of meaning to its "choice and consequence" themes.Īs such, I would argue that Chrono Cross is the kind of game that merits a second look, particularly if you didn’t grok it the first time around. It’s not a feel-good adventure it’s a pensive, experimental game. Without doing a whole retroview of Chrono Cross here, it’s safe to say that the game is much weirder and less accessible than Chrono Trigger. Some characters are better than others, but you can create some interesting combinations, especially if you want to devise clever strategies for the tough optional bosses. (In fact, you’ll need to go through the game at least three times.) While these party members aren’t all as distinct and memorable as Chrono Trigger’s cast, they do give the game quite a bit more variety, since you could have a radically different party each time you play, even if you change up your members frequently. The quest is less about saving the world, and more about discovering just how many ripples one person’s life and choices can create.Ĭhrono Cross also benefits from replays more so than Chrono Trigger, as there are more than 40 party members to collect, and you can’t possibly get them all in one playthrough. Instead of traveling through time, Chrono Cross is about hopping between two parallel dimensions. What they got instead was a game with a much smaller map, a much stranger battle system, no reliable way to level up, and only the most tenuous connections to the previous game. Lastly to try and fix any existing bugs like the flashing polygon issues currently on models along with the noticeable performance stutters when transitioning from map to map.To understand why Chrono Cross suffered from some backlash, it’s important to remember that most fans were probably expecting another time-traveling adventure, perhaps with the same cast of characters.
