Really? I hated it... I got about 5 hours into it and turned it off. I mean, I was the biggest Square nut ever (and TRIGGER is one of my favorite games ever too), I have literally ever PS1 Square game -- Einhander, Xenogears, Bushido Blade 1-2, FFVII and IX, etc are all excellent. But Chrono Cross was way too easy, the "42 characters" was annoying... it just bored me. LEGEND OF MANA was also pretty awful. I know LOTS of people dig Cross, though... THREADS OF FATE is pretty underrated, as far as all those games go.
Have you played XENOEARS, Ghost? I put 85 hours into it. I really love killing God at the end! Haha. Amazing fucking game. Besides D2, Ico, and Super Metroid.. it's my favorite game ever. Even though, in retrospect, it's almost identical, plot wise, to NEON GENESIS EVANGELION.
BTW, has there ever been an RPG made where party members turn on you, besides TALES OF SYMPHONIA (2 members turn on you, actually!), or TRIGGER? ... Also, you know how in FFVII, Aeris dies? (also, you think a character dies in VI, but you can get them back) Has that ever happened in any other game? I'm really interested in the idea of being in a party with someone, like, 20 hours, and then the last 20 hours, you have to kill them.. or they're dead or something.
THe amazing thing about Aeris being in FFVII... is disc 1 is the longest disc.. and she is EASILY the best character, if you get all her limit breaks. Most people don't. But.. it heals every single party member COMPLETELY and it removes all status defects.. and it resurrects any dead party members! I mean, jesus. It's like 10 items/turns in one turn! Now that I got a PS1 gameshark, I'm thinking of playin as her on disc 2 and shit. THoug there is a glitch to get her without a Shark, too, but I heard it can crash your game, whereas the Shark code apparently won't.
THere's also a Shark code where you can play as the same party members in battle. So you can have 3 Clouds or whatever. Hahaha.
...one more thing: I'm making my 2nd video game.. a shmup.
