It's a great game, but just not a good sequel to Chrono Trigger.

Because it was not Chrono Trigger, and even if you beat the game it wasn't super obvious what the link between the two games was unless you were really invested in material that was outside of the game as well....... Kinda Like Final Fantasy 15 now that I think about it.

It's OK but not as good as chrono trigger
Though as someone who doesn't like kid I find it funny that you can only recruit the two best party members by being a complete dick to her

If you are nice to her in key moments you won't get leena or glenn

This.

In addition, the best parts of the original Chrono Trigger were the characters and the plot. Chrono Cross stuffs so many characters into your party that it feels more like Suidoken.

Kinda, my problem is they're dead. It's absurd with all the magic power and tech the kingdom had that Porre would topple it. Porre was also reformed in a sidequest.

247 Characters to choose from, but you only need 3 or 4, depending on if you want to Steal or not

My God, at least split the fucking party up so we use more of the characters. And why not just switch them in and out so you can see them all? Well, that's because after you beat a boss, you can go get stat bumps for like 4-5 fights or something, and if you don't catch those stat bumps before the next Boss, you loss all the ones you missed

So if you want to use 10-15 of them equally, then you'll have to go level everyone up between bosses.

Really bad, totally unfocused. Too many bland characters that aren't fleshed out. Horrible story. Horrible combat. Horrible overworld. Horrible forced connection to Chrono Trigger.

They aren't dead per se, it was a future where Lavos was never a thing, so it is closer to say that they never existed.

You could cut half the characters and no one would notice.

IIRC random battles don't give exp, never liked that system

Horrendously paced story, and very poorly explained in places

Permanently missable main characters

That is because it is only one future. It is never the only one. This is why some characters are there, and others are not, and why you can still change it over playthroughs. It is almost pointedly showing how fractured everything became with the damage time travel caused in Chrono Trigger.

I don't hate it persay, but I think it's telling that the most memorable thing I can recall about it all these years later was beating stuff up with a "plumpish" bunny girl that used a prismatic dildo.

Beyond that, the game was kind of a grindy blur because I was having to play musical party swap chairs (with the attractive female party members anyway) and nothing terribly interesting actually happens in the plot for hours at a time (and when stuff *does* happen it's like "okay whatever"). You can absolutely play it with your brain turned off and nothing changes and nothing is missed.

My all time favourite rpg
I take the many characters as a bonus to not get bored playing again
Sadly I felt the first half slow in pacing and the second rushed and the side
characters shafted
Still the game is not a direct sequel but a take on what happens when you mess with time travelling
And I love it for it
The fact you saved a world meant you screwed another
