[@RySenkari]

Chrono Cross was a brilliant game and was a top contender for Game of the Year back in 2000. It wasn't underrated. It was excellent, a lot of Chrono Trigger fans just had huge issues with the story. Sort of how Mortal Kombat fans largely feel about Mortal Kombat 9.

[@hethweek2116]

Masato Kato he directed chrono trigger and chrono cross and he said, We didn't want to directly extend Chrono Trigger into a sequel, but create a new Chrono with links to the original. Yes, the platform changed; and yes, there were many parts that changed dramatically from the previous work. But in my view, the whole point in making Chrono Cross was to make a new Chrono with the best available skills and technologies of today. I never had any intentions of just taking the system from Trigger and moving it onto the PlayStation console. That's why I believe that Cross is Cross, and NOT Trigger 2. ” so chrono cross is not a sequel. - Masato Kato

[@jamiemoll2484]

This game was the best game I ever played! It was perfect! Sorry to those who hated this because of Chrono Trigger. But the plot of time; with a different story; made sense of the series. The series of time! 10/10 for everything! Chrono Cross was the best at it's time!

[@levijohnson5660]

Agreed!

[@jamiemoll2484]

Yeah Dude!

[@eartianwerewolf]

Chrono Cross IS AWESOME but lets be honest. the plot is a bit convuluted...which is usual for this style of rpg but still you can normally work out the plot. I think where Chrono Cross dropped the ball was trying to cram in Crono, Lucca, and Marle. It could have *SPOILERS* taken up the story of Magus and Schalia without adding in Crono, Lucca and Marle and it would have made more sense.. Actually I sort of felt like the ties to Crono Trigger generally held the game's story back. It could have unfolded into something that was more coherent and it honestly didn't even need to be tied to the other game. Ps, I like Crono Cross better than Crono Trigger, but I recognize that Crono Cross does have a lot of faults....

[@Artimes.]

Not any more lol. Its all about modern political agenda's, sex appeal and making games have less story and more high graphic fidelity worlds you can explore for a 100 hrs. Like fuck, go back to the roots of a JRPG. Like these companies have no idea any more. Well maybe some of them do hense why there focusing more intently on remakes and remasters these last years. But yeah I have like ZERO interest in playing any sort of modern day IP.

[@jayteepanganiban4301]

@@Artimes. gotta agree with your statement. The rpg games during the ps1 era had memorable stories. Story over graphics.

[@Artimes.]

@@jayteepanganiban4301 You remember also when a game used to be a "complete" product. Now a days its all sold like piece meal like some version of a complete game, only to find out that dlc is micromanaged to its consumers thuroughout the next 4 years. That wouldn't be so bad if companies did not take advantage of this system and actually go back and re-edit and have major story revisions, huge gameplay elements removed or changed, etc. Also I don't know if im the only one that doesn't notice this but with abstractional based graphics, like zone based, sprites and polygons, scale of rpgs used to be so large and the volume was amazing. Now its like most rpgs are tiny small franctions of what they used to be and the rest of it just padded out to the extreme with open world gameplay or mundane revisiting and exploring, etc. take FF VII remake and FF XV as pure examples of that. Consequently that is whY i focus more intently on traditional style rpgs like Tales of or Dragon quest or Octopath traveler, because at least you feel like your getting something worthy in its size in terms of the scope of the world and story, etc. As technology evolves into this photo realism, 4k scalling, so to does the restriction and limitations that are placed on designers to be able to expand there rpgs.

[@novarepter386]

@@Artimes. Agreed, as much as I love FFXV it has a lot of glaring flaws cause it tried to be this grand open world game with a massive story plan worked out that was all locked behind DLC. Their DLC got cancelled halfway through and they had to tell the rest through a book. Despite all this the story, music and arguably the combat are incredible and I really wish they just kept the style of FF to how they were in the PS1/ Early PS2 era as it was their golden age and had FFXV been in that style (or Octopath's HD2D) and not planned like 7-8 DLCs I doubt they'd have any of those problems and it would be in my top 5 favourite games of all time

If the game cannot be fully enjoyed without paying extra money after purchase, then that's a bad sign; if you're a casual then you probably won't care, but the ones that more money to companies are us gamers.

[@Radical_Dreamers_Gaming]

This brings me back to my childhood. A time where things were more simple

[@ymelshka]

back then, those CG short clips at the middle of the game is sooo rare they feel so precious. nostalgia.

[@MetalGearChris1]

this is for me the beginning of fantasy, the introduction to rpg / big story telling games, the beginning of a part in my life when i dreamt of these worlds... this melody, and those few words as introduction, will always be part of my life... ...all of that is this song, that and days and months of playing without having an actual real life xD!

[@stevenormandin2448]

In this intro,they combine the game story with the fate of each humans has to face in their own life.We really dont know why we are here,we cant do nothing about time,we are just wind...But we are here and its not completely for nothing.We certainly cant control the destiny,but we can guide "it" and by the same time,can change people lives for the good and for some cases,for the bad...

[@MaveriKat]

17 years later, and this still holds up remarkably well.

[@KeyleeTamirian]

One of main appeals of Chrono Cross is it's visuals. And a big part of it is late 90's early 00's CGI.

[@kuribo1]

Just too damned good. Going on a nostalgic ps1 opening spree. FF8, Wild Arms, Thousand Arms, Xenogears etc. Good good memories.

[@kuruptzZz]

oh how I love this intro...just a masterpiece

[@MartinClifford74656]

All of these years later, Chrono Cross STILL has one of the most beautiful soundtracks going! Such an amazing game - I hope it eventually gets the remake treatment it deserves!!!

[@emmanueldom6694]

you will always hear Final Fantasy 7... you will always hear final fantasy 8, as well as final fantasy tactics.... but we will never hear about this masterpiece again. In my opinion, Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy 7 are the greatest rpg games of all time! R.I.P Squaresoft

[@CrzndlSndr]

Those are my two favorites too :P Everything about them; the story, the characters, the music... were just perfect.

[@eartianwerewolf]

*cough* I like Final Fantasy 9 better...lol... Actually most people I know that FF8 is probably onna the worst . I have actually heard about Squall though. Most people tend to think that 6 or 7 is the best, with a lot of people also considering 10 a contender...some people throw in 4 and very few people throw in 9. 8 barely gets on the radar for that....and 5 doesn't ever even get mentioned lol. MOst people ignore the first 2...and as for 13...yeah it doesn't really get considered as the best either.

[@Nabo00o]

#eartianwerewolf I played FF IV, V and VI, they are amazing games! Its just because new kids don't get to try the good old games that they can't see it :( Btw FF IX looked really good, guess i have to try it one of these days (in an emulator).

[@banka2346]

one of the Best game of all the time

[@pencil6965]

sometimes we would turn on this game just to watch the intro. over and over and over.... so beautiful

[@sadiqabduljalil7067]

It’s been more than 20 years since I played this jewel. Surprisingly, i still have the desire to relive my teenage memories. I guess anyone who is still addicted to this game is my soulmate. Hail to the great chrono cross.

[@skinscribe]

Here for that chrono cross remaster!!

[@OrobaSpyro]

Never thought this would all be experienced at the ready at any console, even PC. This game very much deserves it, along with Radical Dreamers!

[@Maltosier]

We're going home.

[@oscarwilde399]

I think that this and the FF8 intro are the two most amazing intros of all time.

[@neoasura]

What a time to be alive, I was 18 when this came out. Coming from the SNES era to the PSX era of RPGs each and every one blew my mind one after the other. Squaresoft was on fire during those days! Each game was just a visual and emotional masterpiece. It's hard re-creating that experience today.

[@littledemon4139]

I loved playing this game it was fun and I loved beating the game I still go back to playing it once in awhile it is a master peace.

[@dustinbass4295]

I want a Chrono Cross HD remake.

[@jayycash212]

You know why we're all here..

[@DiegoSakazaki]

I still remember hearing this for the first time in the 90's. Man, developers really used to put a lot of soul in their games back then. Those Square, Capcom, Nintendo, Sega and Konami games had the best OST ever.

[@1994bieel]

Brings back memories... Almost cried :')

[@manrique_1984]

Where did the time go? I pre-ordered this game. I had the clock that came with it. I traded the clock for an NES since mine stopped working. I beat this game before I beat Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger may be my favorite RPG ever. Chrono Cross was pretty good. The music was fantastic.

[@ZiptoZapto]

Ah yes, Chrono Cross. Still never played it and Chrono Trigger, despite loving both their soundtracks and stories. Well, one of their stories. My sister played through those games while I watched her. I'm old enough now that I could play through them on my own, but I just haven't. Anyways, I remember she played Chrono Cross without me around a lot, so I missed like half the story, never saw how it ended, and was confused the whole time. Though if my sisters word is anything to go by, I didn't miss much, as the story made no sense to her. I do think that this game and Chrono Trigger have got to have the best soundtracks in all of gaming.

[@cangrexX]

this is ART... the whole game is a master piece of ART.. i can´t express how much beautiful it was, playing that game with incredible soundtrack and a very colorful world.. by far the best game i´ve ever played... and i played it ten years ago.. The rpg that is BEYOND TIME

[@uzimachi1]

Every hair in my body stands when I hear this intro

[@storino03]

Gross

[@mrjackpot671]

It's not gross lol, it means the intro is literally so good that it can send shivers through your spine xD

[@dexman97]

Even the butthair?

[@mrjackpot671]

***** xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@Towik]

Good for you ,i most of the time start crying and wanna go on a freaking killing spree .... Crying is bad for my retarded eyes... now for a day i will have even higher sensitivity to light I loved this game ,i would love to see this remade or remastered.

[@AS7Promitus]

Back when RPG openings were works of art all on their own. I still think about the words at the beginning.

[@helyscollection4797]

It's here everyone, it's finally here!!!

[@romulofidelis2888]

How many out of context spoilers you want in your opening? Square: Yes

[@judgehodor2675]

A spoiler requires enough context to give away some plot point to someone who isn’t familiar with the material. A few moments might qualify if over analyzed. But if I try watching this without the story in mind, what I mostly get is awesome ****.

[@romulofidelis2888]

@@judgehodor2675 Yup and that's why this opening is so amazing and well made, it shows A LOT of scenes from disc 2 that would be major plot points, but it's so well made that doesn't give any piece of the experience, in the end it's just a bunch of visually stunning scenes that gives absolute hype to anyone who watch it!

[@fcancho]

I use to watch this intro over and over when I was 14. I still love it to this day!

[@HayateKusanagi]

And now, we, the old guard, wish to give you a gift. From beyond time, from beyond worlds, we hand you one of our flawed but oh so beautiful jewels. Come with us, onto the cerulean skies, and see what we saw twenty years ago.

[@lonelygirleatsshawarma3982]

Square Enix is remaking some of their old games and I hope they include Chrono Cross 🙏🏻🥺

[@teddybroosevelt6826]

Yes please

[@lonelygirleatsshawarma3982]

I posted this comment one year ago, and now there is a rumour that Chrono Cross is having its own remake/remaster 😁 fingers crossed 🤞

[@mikebickle823]

So glad I can share this game with my kids with even better graphics now. Such a classic

[@ProxyDoug]

Watching this opening always made me feel like I was doing something different, it never felt like the opening of a game, or an anime or movie, it was always Chrono Cross, the entrance to this awesome world. Even know it feel likes I'm looking at a window and it hard not to just jump through and go there again.

[@mrmoses717]

Ohhhh the nostalgia! It's so good!!!

[@nellybaiei2820]

Cant wait to hear this again in a few years. always picks my spirit up

[@taipenn2358]

Anyone else get recommended this after the announcement of the remaster to be released on the Switch?

[@SeventhheavenDK]

I am one of those who didn't like Trigger and almost skipped Cross because of that, but after I played Cross it instantly became one of my favorite RPGs.

[@gabrielg9378]

I remember playing this game with my son when he was a kid, it has been and always will be my favorite. The music was beautiful and the story was imaginative to say the least..I won’t even debate on whether or not it was better than Trigger- all I know is that it’s an unbelievable game that deserves any accolades it gets, anyone that has ever played it would have to agree with me.

[@karatee21]

Nostalgia at it's finest

[@l0ts0ffac32]

It'd be nice to get both this and Chrono Trigger on one cartridge for Switch. Here's hoping that becomes a reality sometime in the future.

[@jessearditty4471]

Chrono Cross was the peak of the gaming industry, when developers had that sweet sweet balance of “cutting edge” graphics that weren’t all consuming, the ability to use orchestrations instead of midis, and new game plus for dragging you in to play the branching paths different this time. 10/10 game 10/10 intro cutscene 10/10 music to match

[@raul_lanz]

It's a fantastic game, I love this intro

[@jonnybarnard3171]

Possibly the best opening for a game ever, n if not, the, soundtrack definitely is

[@PinoyDDTank]

i was grade 3 2004 when i played chrono cross , now that im grade 5 I still love to play chrono cross over and over again.

[@SubduedRadical]

"Yet even then, we ran like the wind, Whilst our laughter echoed, Under cerulean skies..." To this day, that gives me goosebumps.

[@RizalFN]

Come here again, after watch the collaboration with another eden 👍❤️

[@felixcortes9246]

July 14 2021 12:38pm ive been coming back to this because this beautiful masterpiece gives me the power that i know i don’t have

[@altadeam]

I'm looking for this back after saw another eden collab

[@romansierra5614]

This game started a lifelong love of story and music for me. I feel so very sorry for anyone who is unable to let their imagination take them to this world.
