Chrono Cross follows a boy named Serge across parallel worlds–both the world in which he lives and one in which he drowned 10 years earlier.Editorial Review
Chrono Cross, the sequel to the Super Nintendo classic Chrono Trigger, turns out to be well worth the wait. Taking off 20 years after the first game, Chrono Cross follows a boy named Serge across parallel worlds–both the world in which he lives and one in which he drowned 10 years earlier.
Chrono Cross will wow players with beautiful prerendered graphics and a unique battle system. Elements replace magic and items in battle, and using the same element three times in a row will ultimately increase your power. In addition to using elements, the accuracy of physical attacks is determined by probability, with easier-to-land weak attacks setting up fierce blows.
The plot, while a bit slow to develop, is full of interesting characters. Players will need to travel between the two worlds to advance the plot. While many of these areas will initially appear to look similar, you’ll find them to be quite different upon closer examination of the details. For instance, a plant that is extinct in one world thrives in the other.
My only qualm with Chrono Cross is that, despite the complexities of the battle system, veterans will have an easy time with early battles. Still, there’s much to like about this SquareSoft epic. –Robb Guido
Pros:
- Lavish, vibrantly colored graphics
- Unique battle system involving elements and casting away role-playing clichés like experience and magic points
Cons:
- Easy battles due to powerful offensive and cure elements
- For hours, players will be saying, “Get to the time travel stuff”

This game gives you everything. It really makes you think which is better Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross. If you played and liked Chrono Trigger then you have to get Chrono Cross.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is the best game in the world, probably the universe period. FF7 Was a wonderful game but still a slight disappointment. And ff8 was down right patheic, I hated it. But after playing the Japan version of Chrono Cross, reminded me of Chrono Trigger. It was great, the fights are better than any ff game, buy this right when it comes out I know I will!
