Comparison time! Contains Spoilers
« on: October 29, 2006, 04:45:35 pm »
Today, I will compare Final Fantasy 10 (FFX) to Chrono Cross (CC).

-Both main characters are ripped from their world into another. (FFX:Tidus is ripped from a dream world into reality, CC:Serge is warped into a world where he died 10 years before.)

-Both fall in love with a character from that world. (FFX:Tidus & Yuna, CC:Serge & Schala(Kid))

-Both arch enemies are their fathers. (FFX:Sin=Ject, CC:Lynx=Wazuki)

-Their fathers are contolled by an ememy you never saw coming. (FFX:Ject & Yu Yevon, CC:Wazuki & F.A.T.E.)

-Both are taken to a port town by other party members in order to see if they can find somebody who reconizes them. (FFX:Luca, CC:Termina)

-Both games were published by Squaresoft. (Hey, that has to count for something, right?)

-Both were raised by their mothers.

-Both fathers went missing while out at sea. (FFX I know, but CC I'm not so sure, got to read the encyclopedia again.)

I'll put more later, I need to find a little more info, plus I need to put the differences.

Huh... Never thought to compare Chrono Cross and FFX. I've always just been analyzing FFX and FFVII for the two worlds' shared heritages. That's pretty interesting.

Tidus is also totally similar to Turnip. Both were created from the dreams of someone else.

Except for the appearances... Turnip's cooler lookin', anyways.

Ah, I have another one to add to that.

Both get seperated from the female lead character at the end.

Separated temporarily, even! The photo on Schala Kid's desk proves that Serge and her found each other again, and the cutscene after the credits in FFX clearly shows Tidus being reborn in the sea and swimming to the surface, smiling and impatient to rejoin Yuna (and that's 2 years before Square Enix decided to develop FFX-2!).

Kinda wierd don't ya think?

They most likely took elements from CC because not may people bought it. At least the sales figures say so.
