Along the way,
The battle system is a little different than the usual "pick a single attack and wait" equation. Instead,
Additionally, the magical system is based on a combination of fighting and spell casting. As you attack a monster, you'll gain the power to cast a variety of magic spells. If you plan on taking it easy, your characters will never become powerful magicians. A bar indicates the level of your magical power; as it grows, you'll gain the ability to cast increasingly powerful incantations. The characters can combine spells to unleash some big time destruction.

Chrono Cross is no Chrono Trigger.
, September 9, 2002Reviewer: malevolent_star - See all malevolent_star's reviews1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this Chrono Cross review helpful Chrono Trigger, in my opinion, is one of the greatest games of all-time, in terms of RPGs. I must admit, I eagerly anticipated Chrono Cross' arrival, however, upon playing it, I suddenly came to the conclusion that Chrono Cross is no Chrono Trigger. Now I realize that CC isn't an official sequel to CT, but therein lies the problem. Chrono Cross should have been a sequel, and even though it makes an abundant amount of references to Chrono Trigger, in truth, Chrono Cross is a sub-story of sorts. The game itself succeeds on many levels. The graphics are vivid and lush, pushing the Playstation to its limits, and the music is fantastic. The story is intriguing, yet it is also perplexing. The battle system is also interesting, but lackluster in that it pretty much is useless. The double-tech and triple-tech abilities are still intact, well, sort of. Only certain characters are able to perform them, and speaking of characters, that is another weakness of this game. There's too many of them to be developed thoroughly. Some of the characters peaked my interest, while others, I quite honestly, didn't give a rat's ass for. Another flaw of this game, is the length and challenge: too short and too easy. Any decent RPG should take at least 60 hours minimum to complete, and Chrono Cross takes a third of that. The battles are entirely too easy, with bosses being the biggest culprits, in that they don't provide any sort of challenge (such as decimating your party.) I felt as though Chrono Cross was a sub-par effort, because it just didn't capitalize on Chrono Trigger as much as it should have, and that is the biggest disappointment a Chrono Trigger fan could experience. Decent, but not phenominal, try Chrono Trigger instead. ... -
One of the best RPG turn game
, October 31, 2006Reviewer: ZzzcowboYzzZ - See all ZzzcowboYzzZ's reviewsPros: Graphic, Theme songs, variety of story endings and plots
Cons: So many characters, less elements
I actually teared out when I finished this game a long long time ago (probably 4 years). It's the first and only game so far that I want to play over and over again. The game play is very involving and innovative (at least at the time this game is released). The storyline changes whenever you make different choice and path. A must have game for PS, simply the best RPG turn-based game ever ;) ...
