I'm just wondering if anything is ever going to come of this series ever again?
Obviously many people love this game and Chrono Cross (some people didn't like it, but I really did.) but wasn't there talk about more games from this series?
What happened to them and does anyone know anything about games in the future?
(Besides that fan project that was shut down.)
I remember talks of a third game, but I think that ended up being vaporware.
What was so good about Chrono Cross anyway? Chrono Trigger had fantastic art, fantastic music, fun gameplay, interesting characters, and a great story.
Chrono Cross had about a million interchangeable characters that were useless and a ho-hum, me-too art style. The number of characters and how pointless and random they were really hurt the game for me. If I'm going to play a pandering and linear jRPG, it better have a good story/interesting characters.

This isn't going to end well.
I am (still) in agreement with Mzo, regarding the negative effect the ridiculously large cast had on CC... however, the art in the game was fantastic. In fact, CC's saving grace was its presentation -- the graphics, character artwork, and music were all absolutely stunning.
CC wasn't a bad game, by any means, but it could've been better.
Does Dragon Warrior have DBZ cloned art?Quote:

Back in June I tried out CT (PS release) figuring that I'd love the game to death. To this day, I cannot understand why people laud this game so highly.
Are my feelings of disappointment a result of 2004 game bias (I assume it was more impressive if played at release)? Or is CT an overrated game to begin with?
CT is my favorite RPG of all time, although I could be kind of biased because it was the first RPG I ever bought back when it first came out....but Chrono Cross definately sucks compared to the original.
