Well? We're waiting for you to talk about it... ;)
(IMHO - one of least deserving most often slammed games that's among the best RPG's that I've ever played)

Yeah...I guess it's on me, isn't it. I did make the thread after all. :pQuote:

The only problem I had with it was the appearence of Chrono & Co. It seemed kind of...convoluted to me. Not as clear cut as I would have liked. Aside from that I'd agree with you in that's it's one of the best RPGs I've ever played.
It felt totally generic and I struggled to get past the 15-20 hour mark.
So I never did. :/
Generic?
"Oh Reginald...I DISAGREE!!!"
On the contrary, I felt it to be rather original. The battle system was neat, and the story, though a bit hard to follow at times, was well written and executed.
Calling it "generic" is too vague a complaint. Care to expound?
I loved it. People can bitch all they want about there being too many undeveloped characters but I didn't mind them at all. You encountered people and they helped you briefly, but unlike most RPGs you kept access to them to the rest of the game, which brought a nice amount of partry customizing.
It's all about Harle and Lynx, they are so awesome. There was another powerful female that you got late in the game (IIRC) that I loved using. She was really tough and a fist fighter, but it's been so long that I can't remember her name.
And it must be mentioned that the soundtrack to this game is absolutely incredible. I have a playlist of songs that I listen to every night as I go to sleep and everything Chrono Cross that I have (the first disc, I was never able to grab the other three) is in there.
I agree. I was particularly upset when Harle went and did what she did. :(Quote:

ya know, sometimes i get the feeling that you are my dupe account, i feel the same way about mana. Anyhow, i liked chrono cross, i admit the story did take a while to really get going,and once both "towers" were revealed i was kind of concerned with the direction the story was going, but the way the final battle resolved(i got the good ending) really worked for me. The multitude of characters didnt bother me bcause you seldom were forced to use any one guy. i liked the magic system,particularly the latar summons,and overall felt the battle system worked very well. Solid game that was hurt by being the sequel to a game that is held as nearly perfect. I liked it enough to beat it 2 times and play half way through again before i erased the file to make room for a lesser game''s save. :xx:Quote:
