Just because you got to play it on a ROM doesn't mean shit. You'd be surprised how many people were oblivious to ROMs, especially back then. The fact that CC sold so much more than CT did means that there's a good percentage of people in there who didn't play CT and bought CC for whatever reason. It's pointless to try to deny this unless you can find evidence that every single person that bought CC and not CT had already played it via a ROM or a friend...which you can't, because it's complete bullshit. Therefore, the massive gap in sales is a very good indication of this. « Last Edit: January 15, 2009, 10:28:37 pm by The Black Wind » Logged V_Translanka Interim Global Moderator Arbiter (+8000) Posts: 8340 Destroyer of Worlds Re: If you could change Chrono Cross, how would you do it? « Reply #211 on: January 15, 2009, 10:33:01 pm » You can only prove it as much as you can prove that people bought CC without playing CT & loved it. Sales charts proves neither.

I of course showed them the glory of CT afterward when I realized they had never played it.Hearsay and personal stories don't mean anything in the long run I know, but I'd like to share that in my experience there are many people who played CC without any knowledge of CT.

Shit. I'm buying that game soon." However, after learning the expensive price on Ebay, it had to wait. Ad then I finally bought it... My point is that they are some of, if not THE Best RPG's ever made. In my opinion, of Course. I don't call favorites- As they are the same series. Logged Shadow D.

Re: If you could change Chrono Cross, how would you do it? « Reply #214 on: January 16, 2009, 12:15:37 pm » When I started playing CC, I played it on my brother's PS2. And it was a big PS2, before the skinny PS2s came out.

I mean, you can also look at their early sales figures: in 10 weeks the SNES version of CT sold 2.31 million copies worldwide, whereas CC sold .69 million copies worldwide. Honestly though, I don't really know how accurate these numbers are: CT reportedly sold 290,000 copies outside of Japan (where it sold 2.36 million), whereas CC has definitely sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide, as that's how it got its "Greatest Hits" notoriety. Yet most people contend that CC sold more copies than CT. I don't even know which sold more, so let's see the numbers to back up these claims.

They're both wonderful games, and how well they sold has no bearing on that.

But people keeping toting claims without backing 'em up--if you're gonna say Cross outsold Trigger by quite a bit, I'd like to know how much.

I think it was Darkman's signature that boasted how CC sold twice as much or something. Logged FouCapitan Black Wind Agent (+600) Posts: 626 Whatever it is, I'm against it.

I think it was Darkman's signature that boasted how CC sold twice as much or something.Even if those figures are accurate, you have to take into account that the number of gamers in the world increased dramatically in the late ninetees, following the release of PS1, Dreamcast, and N64. So of course older games would have sold less. Logged teaflower Radical Dreamer (+2000) Posts: 2103 Dreams are the gateway to reality. Re: If you could change Chrono Cross, how would you do it? « Reply #224 on: January 18, 2009, 04:55:28 pm » If I could change Chrono Cross, I'd cut some of the minor characters, involve more of the CT cast, and give everyone decent backstory! We love the backstory, you see. Overall, it's a good game, but the characters are mostly flat.
