Chrono Cross

Posted by Kuro - May 1st, 2008

It turns out Chrono Cross does not live up to the acclaim it got.

A cast of a ridiculous number of characters, only a couple of which have any bearing on the plot in any small way possible very rarely works. It didn't, in this case.

After the fiftieth character which came along and said "Hey, I've got something I'd like to do, I'm going to join your party", with about 20 seconds back story, I just started to get annoyed.

The plot's not all too involving either.

I hope Wild Arms is a more interesting game than this, even if it does have some pretty boring 2D graphics.

Perhaps I'll even have to buy a game.

However, the game DOES have its own less compelling Harley Quinn (God, it's even a similar character motivation).

I bought Chrono Cross last year. Unfortunately for me, CHRONO CROSS DOES NOT EXIST!

Kuro 2008-05-01 03:59:02

What the fuck have I just spent 15-20 hours doing then?

supyohos123 2008-05-01 04:54:33

Absolutely nothing!

I think Chrono Cross will just remain a game that I always wanted to play. I can't see myself taking the time out for it now.

Are-Are you serious? That was one of the best games for the Playstation One.

Perhaps you just don't like certain RPG games?

Kuro 2008-05-01 17:13:23

I'm a huge RPG fan.

The majority of games I play are RPGs.

But Chrono Cross is just not great.

qawsxed1 2008-05-01 17:41:16

So what is the best RPG you have played then?

Kuro 2008-05-01 17:41:16

I know it would be unoriginal to say Final Fantasy VII, but who cares?

That.

Well, that or X.

qawsxed1 2008-05-01 18:01:17

The reason I asked you was to see if it was your taste in games that caused you to dislike Chrono Cross, but since you said Final Fantasy X, your taste is obviously fine.

Ah well. Can't expect everyone to like something, can I?

Kuro 2008-05-01 18:01:17

I do, and I get angry at them when they don't.

supyohos123 2008-05-01 20:42:33

If they do another one, they better remain true to Chrono Trigger.

Kuro 2008-05-01 20:42:33

I quit playing Chrono Trigger at some point during it.

I don't remember why.

Maybe I should play it again.

Onett 2008-05-02 15:30:10

Perhaps I'll even have to buy a game.

man New Zealand must suck, or do you just have no money?

Kuro 2008-05-02 15:30:10

Games are expensive in New Zealand.

Gendo 2008-05-02 21:18:53

I always disliked Chrono Cross.

Chrono Trigger was vastly superior in every way.

Kuro 2008-05-02 21:18:53

Maybe I'll play that again.

Life-Stream 2008-05-03 05:44:27

I never did get around to playing the chrono games :(

Kuro 2008-05-03 05:44:27

I haven't really found either of them too special.

And I have no idea what the hype about Akira Toriyama's character designing skills is all about. The characters always seem rather boring looking to me.
