No game has consistently impressed me so much and so often. Does it stand alone atop the hill?

You want a game with:

- A huge cast of characters but a relatively small battle party
- A great soundtrack
- time travel with a hint of retcon if it is indeed a sequel

I think Chrono Cross stands alone in that. Plenty of 2/3 though.

Cross didnt have time travel though really. It was parallel worlds

The soundtrack is the only of those 3 that makes Cross great

Baten Kaitos was compared to Chrono Cross on release. The battle system is sort of similar except it had cards, and was similarly vibrant.

Xenogears and FF8 is like Chrono Cross. Highly overrated games with clusterfuck storylines.

Xenogears hasn't been scratching that itch so far, and I'm like 25-30 hours in.

the only thing remotely similar is the combat. FF8's junctioning system is somewhat similar to the magic system in CC, but not as good

It contributes a sentiment that is probably the underlying reason why the answer to your title question is 'no'.

Its crazy how many people unironically think Cross is a bad game.

Its objectively one of the best RPGs on the playstation which arguably was the best system of all time for the genre.

The problem is people go into it expecting chrono trigger

I dont know of many games where you can just buy everyone in your party the ability to effortlessly group heal to the point of destroying most potential challenges the game has.

Significantly harder? I don't agree with that at all. Both games are very easy, but Cross is probably the easiest Square game I've ever played.

The story is silly with a silent protag and an over the top bad guy. Especially with the games main twist it becomes very stupid.

I remember the main gets an OP weapon. So then i had Fargo just cause of a few exclusive blue spells (Strongest group heal and inf stamina spell) and he can steal and anyone as 3rd to cast Eagle Eye(?) on main for 99% hit rate.

This isnt even the best strategy, but it easily destroys anything in the game.

Mystic Quest is up there.

And also has a great soundtrack. With "non-random" encounters, dynamic overworld, and a cast of 5 characters but only has a 1 or 2 person party at any given time.

So... it's in the runnings with Chrono Cross XD

I believe it was the second for me after SMRPG. It's the most barebones, mediocre RPG I've ever played, but it is also a perfect starter RPG.
