Newsflash: Chrono Cross was adored by fans and critics

[alternate solution]

Yeah, there are some characters who are just like, "Oh by the way, I'll join your party too!". I mean, it would be like characters in CT such as Fiona,Tata, or Taban joining your party just for the heck of it.

Oh well, no real use in worrying over it now. Just enjoy the game as it is.

Well, I do suppose CC took some figuring out, plotwise...  Heck, it's been four years and I still can't get everything straight...  Also, the overdose of characters with no extreme relevance to the story might have been another reason... but I never had a problem with it.  I guess my biggest problem with it is what happened to the original CT cast, but that isn't really an issue by the end of the game.  Maybe it was a typo.

Gamefaqs.... I TRUSTED YOU  .........Well at least its one more reason why there should be another in the chrono series.... Also someone told me it was rumored they are going to add a chrono character into the new super smash bros game........  And the only complaining I have about chrono cross is how long it takes to finally know what happend to the CT cast.......  And also that you can't be any of them..

[knuck]

Of course CT got plot holes. *Anything* that messes with time travel will *always* have TIME PARADOX.
As for CC, I still don't like it that much. It had nothing of Chrono in it, and the plot wasn't even about "crono" (read: fucking up time with stuff like time travel).
Even RD was better than CC imo.
EDIT: also, there's no need for a crusade to defend CC. If people love CC that much, why bother? =P

CC wasn't that great. Battles feel pointless and the plot isn't very interesting. I'm sorry but there's no way anyone could honestly care for that crap. I think people only praise the game to shut up fans that say Trigger is better. I haven't played Trigger but I know CC isn't all that. It's right down there with the rest of Squaresoft's overrated line-up

I find this very notion of CC being “universally hated” disgusting.  As the Compendium’s  self proclaimed Biggest Cross Hater, I can say without hyperbole that I hated Chrono Cross long before it was considered cool to do so.  All these ex post facto haters writing  they’re inaccurate articles just make me sick.  Bravo to you ZeaLitY, for exposing these Johnny-come-lately’s for the phonies they really are.

Even RD was better than CC imo.

I concur.

CC got one of the best battle systems in the history of RPGs. Better than CT's even.

Didn't you have some agreement not to use images with text in them? Or something like that.

By the way Z, you missed that fact that Chrono Cross was one of only four games to have gotten 10/10 on Gamespot

[ZeaLitY]

It's cited on the Wikipedia article along with several other indepedently verified claims. Cross is next in lined to become featured after Trigger.

But it did come with a shitty leveling system.

I agree with that. Way too linear. I mean, you level up once every boss fight and that's it. o_0

Don't forget the +1 to health or whatnot.
The pyramid is growing....

The CC battle system is driven by Element grid customization, not on leveling up. It's the opposite of CT where the focus is on the levels and the Tech list can't be changed at all. CT is much more linear on that point.

Yep. It was stupid.
