Don't really have a way to play Chrono Cross without emulators and I don't really care that much.

I beat this game last week after like 18-20 hours so I guess I'll give some final thoughts.

Overall it was good and I can see why it's so revered. I couldn't help but imagine how much better it would have been as a modern game though. The story really needed another 10 hours to really flesh itself out. I mean a lot happens but everything moves so quickly there's not really any time to appreciate anything. The campfire scene is the only one I can think of where the party even interacts with each other (minus the scenes with people in your party obviously).

Battle system was good but by the end of the game I was feeling some of the limits caused by the simplicity. The tech attacks are cool but it usually ends up to just using whatever one does the most damage. By the end of the game I was just letting Chrono auto attack with Rainbow and Cool Sunglasses and he was doing more damage than most tech attacks.

I was also surprised how much this felt like a Dragon Quest game. I know Toriyama designs characters for both but the tone and world were very similar to DQ.

For when this game came out I would give it a 9/10 but if this game came out today I think it would be a 7/10. A modern remake like FF7R would be amazing though.
