>>21167 The music is at least, and CT music was a high bar to begin with

>>21167 Music is good. The ability to make meaningful decisions was a bit better. Setting was interesting. The story was trash though.

>>26481 Combat system was fine for like a twenty hour game, not a forty hour one that you're expected to replay several times over. Just wasn't enough depth to it. Plus you realize because of how the leveling system works, normal battles are a waste of your time only meant for getting some pocket change and materials you'll probably never use due to the absurd number of characters and their weapon types polluting the loot pool. I think the game's alright, but with some major flaws. Same as Xenogears.

>>21167 Cross would have been better perceived if square didn't try and force a connection to trigger.

>>21167 I like that the game gives you some choices but I really wish it did more with them. For instance, you can recruit the parallel world version of MC's childhood GF (very missable) and almost nothing comes of that. The MC also ends up in a relationship with Kid typically, despite already being in a committed relationship. The writing is a mess, but it does have great music, decent gameplay, and more choices. I feel like they should just redo Chrono Cross into something that has better writing and more consistent personal techs, etc. It has potential, but in the end it's too much of a hodgepodge mess. Or they could just put out Chrono Break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3SU5dDBwCI
