  Regardless of what side of the fence you fall on with the game itself, we can all agree Yasunori Mistuda’s soundtrack is a masterpiece.

  CC has actually aged very well surprisingly. It’s easier for trigger, Zelda link to the past etc to age well bc their pixels are part of their charm. Usually more 3D graphics don’t age well but bc of the stylized art and beautiful cutscenes it still looks great. Even basic spells like gravity blow and photon beam are still cool looking. Like elemental kamehamehas. And the music is one of the best soundtracks of all time even better than some legendary Zelda and final fantasy soundtracks.

  Kid Searching for serge in the dimensions in the end always gets me.

  The randomness and missable characters brilliantly contribute to the theme of alternate realities of what could have been, encouraging multiple playthroughs at the same time.

  I love that it didn't just try to be Trigger. I like the unique combat and elements. I like that it used Dimension hopping instead of time travel. It was really just lacking on characters development. I fell like they could have cut it to 30 and been able to do full stories.

  If anyone wants to play through Chrono Cross in a group type setting, check out the MinnMax’s Deepest Dive currently going on. It’s a really fun way to experience the game.

  I think music makes a game more than anything else, in my opinion. Its true twice over for RPGs. I thought about this when I was young and playing FF6 (3 in snes) for the first time.

  Heard "someone who hit 30 last year," and had to look at the time released. We're the same age. No wonder the games reviewed on this channel have a similar vibe to what I like.

  I love both Cross and Trigger but I love Cross much more. I was in 3rd grade when my dad bought it and it was love at first sight for me if you put it on words. It was my dad&apos;s favorite game and so was mine when I was a kid. I played a fair number of RPGs the past few years (I&apos;m 28) but Cross is still one of my RPG list toppers. As a kid, I loved it because of its visuals and unforgettable masterpiece of a music. Some of its music automatically plays in my head on certain occasions &nbsp;like the &quot;Call of Summer&apos; when I&apos;ve accomplished something. As I grew older, I appreciated and grew to love it even more because of the story.<br><br>Sure, Trigger was a masterpiece but what made me love Cross much more is the connections it had with Trigger. It was the reality of the heroes of Trigger, the consequences of their actions and this time there&apos;s no plot armor for them... that&apos;s their fate and their reality. The Chronopolis and Dead Sea just blew my mind but I felt devastated at the same time. <br>I played Cross first and a few years later when I played Trigger and finished it, I had to play Cross again and connect the dots &nbsp;it had with Trigger and the Dead Sea, Chronopolis and The orphanage just sold me this game. <br>I just love this game so much. It&apos;s a masterpiece. <br>Also good suggestion Gaming Broductions, to play it when your perception of life and meaning has quite matured. Because it&apos;s really confusing asf &nbsp;for me when I was younger.

  Im pretty split on the character amount. On one hand I love finding the characters, and the amount let&apos;s us have pip and poshul. On the other hand I think that Smaller groups in jrpgs are much better story wise. I do wish you could have 3 other party members instead of 2, seemed like a weird choice given the amount of characters available
