DESCRIPTION
Chrono Cross is the sequel to the 16-bit Chrono Trigger, a game in which many role-playing fans considered to be on par, if not better than the developers' other role-playing series, Final Fantasy. For those who are new to the franchise, it combined a turn-based battle system with an intense storyline and a host of classic characters.
As one of the only games to receive a perfect score from Famitsu, a well respected Japanese gaming magazine, the storyline of Chrono Cross goes beyond the norm, as it concerns alternate dimensions as well as time travel. It focuses on the adventure of a boy named Serge who, on a dungeon exploration trip, stumbles into a parallel world in which his life had been cut short. After gathering his courage, Serge sets out to solve the mystery of his death.
Along the way, Serge will encounter a motley group of companions — a total of 40 different characters will wander into the scene and interact with the protagonist. Each has his, her or its own unique personality traits and background story. For example, a female barkeep named Orlha is searching for a long lost sister while an accomplished wrestler known as Jillbert guards a gravesite. Many characters are of a non-human race. Kabu is a lazy, unproductive vegetable man and Irenes is a mermaid that uses healing abilities to cure those wounded in battle.
The battle system is a little different than the usual "pick a single attack and wait" equation. Instead, Chrono Cross introduces the use of stamina points. Each character is gifted with seven stamina points at the beginning of a fight. Battle options are divided into weak, middle and strong powers with the more powerful attacks requiring a larger number of stamina points. Therefore, you can use any combination of moves within the seven-point range. If you'd like a single massive strike, go ahead and pick a strong power h it. If you'd rather land the first blow, pick a weak attack and utilize your quickness.
Additionally, the magical system is based on a combination of fighting and spell casting. As you attack a monster, you'll gain the power to cast a variety of magic spells. If you plan on taking it easy, your characters will never become powerful magicians. A bar indicates the level of your magical power; as it grows, you'll gain the ability to cast increasingly powerful incantations. The characters can combine spells to unleash some big time destruction.
Chrono Cross is a single-player adventure compatible with the PlayStation's Dual Shock Analog Controller and memory card device. Can you unravel the mystery of Serge's untimely death? He's counting on you! ~ Bryan Melville, All Game Guide

“People complain about this game being a bad sequel. I disagree. Just because this game doesn't have the characters your used to in it doesn't make it bad. It relates to the story, it makes references to the previous installment and still have mention of the previous characters and how they relate to THIS story and exactly why what happened to them had happened to them.
It's a good game, screw you for not getting what you wanted, which would of been a rehash about the same characters that you already know. Idiots, let Chrono Trigger die a master piece, allow an original idea take over. Accept it, I'm done hearing the bitching.”

I guess repeatatively shattering robot testicles just never felt as satisfying as shattering meat and fleshy things testicles. Like it was just a poor substitute for shattering fleshy things testicles?”
