Everyone remembers Chrono trigger because you beat it when you were a small child.

Because its piss easy. The characters arnt balanced well but it doesnt matter cause its piss easy.

Most techs are pretty worthless. Extremely linear and simple story. A silent antagonist and protagonist, amazing.

I didn't play it until the DS release when I was in high school, and it's still one of my favorite games of all time

Well I mean...the first one sounds pretty fun tbh.

Chrono Cross is one of the best RPGs of all time and holds up today. Chrono Trigger is one of the better SNES RPGs that became a symbol of wanting to seem old school and was never even played by most of the people who fawn over it. It's not really an apt comparison.

This is the only right answer. The only thing about Cross that isn't a huge downgrade is the music.

i disagree this was for me a great thing since it allowed me to go for new characters for each replay had the game gave me a limited characters i would find it boring and besides CC rosters doesn't hold a candle to a certain game for a number of playable characters

as for the topic......

I've actually never played Chrono Trigger(didn't have an SNES). I adore Chrono Cross's soundtrack and thought the overall narrative was interesting though the huge cast never really appealed to me.

Cross is one of the most creative RPGs I've ever played, for one. In what other RPG do you get turned into an actual literal cat? Or walk through an M.C. Esther painting? Or fight an ancient fort's guardian who is a centaur who fucking choke slams you? The list goes on and on because it's just so damn creative.

One of my favorite moments in the game is when, if you choose to kill the Hydra in the Hydra Marsh, the dwarves, who are now homeless, come to believe that might makes right and practically commit genocide against the faries because they need a new home specifically because of your actions, which weren't even necessary to begin with. It's a great way to explain how imperialism radicalizes people who would not otherwise be terrorists.

Another is when, after you get turned into Lynx and return to Arni Village, pretty much everyone in the village, including your best friend, all turn on you and hate you not because of Lynx's actions but entirely because they're racist against demi-humans. It's such a good fucking moment and Cross is full of them. I like Cross more than Trigger for different reasons than I like Trigger.

Crosss final encounter was

Lucca: exposition dump

Old guy: oh btdubs did you know Lynx was your dad? Crazy huh.

Final Boss: ....

And then some cutscene of irl Japan that somehow means Schala lives

What exactly was the appeal of Cross? The story was good, but the battle system didn't appeal to me, the music wasn't as good as Trigger, and you get tons of possible party members but you only ever use like 4 or 5 good ones. So is it just the story?

the story isn't even good either, the first 2/3rds of it is a total trainwreck

Sure, ill give you that. I think their endings and silent protags are weak areas in both so i guess its moot.
