Chrono Cross

[Van Hellseek]

Just wondering if any of you got the chance to play Chrono Cross (PS1)?

Said to be a 'sequel' to Chrono Trigger (SNES), but in reality it was basically a remake of 'Radical Dreamers' (SNES satellaview) which was more like a half-baked spin off, than a sequel.

Unlike 'Radical Dreamers' though, CC was a great game and sadly never released in the UK, despite being one of the best PS1 RPG's to date and scoring a perfect 10 on gamespot.

So if you did play it, what did you think of it?

Personally I love it, but I have to admit, I was dissapointed how little the first CD (of 2) had to do with Chrono Trigger - given that at the time I was expecting it to be a direct sequel.

I'd rate it probably 3rd best PS1 RPG, after FF7+FF8.

it seemed to have nothing to do with Chrono Trigger. I'm sure i'll give it another go *someday*

The first CD didn't, but the second did. Although in the first CD one of the main characters (Kid) was actually a character from Chrono Trigger..... But you don't find out until later who she is. Although You'll already know if you played Radical Dreamers.

Sorry for the double, but just had to post it...

Haven't played this for a while, so I thought I would play my copy on my PS2. Then I realised that I sold my NTSC PS2 and now only have a PAL PS2 console

It must be one of the hardest games to play for us Brits, since it doesn't run on PAL consoles and as far as I know it doesn't run on emulaters (could be wrong about that though, not sure).

That would make it one very expensive game!
