    Chrono Cross e divertido , tem os desafios na medida tambem , e uma otima musica . Na minha opinião 3 4 ou 5 personagens e o suficiente pra jogar rpg , e aqui tem mais de 30 personagens pra jogar , sendo chato e desnecessario . Tambem não gostei do sistema de evolução por contagem de inimigos . Obrigado Japão por ter colocado meu fucinho no Serge , eu gosto sim dessas paradas nos jogos .Chrono Cross e divertido , tem os desafios na medida tambem , e uma otima musica .

    Default one of the best RPG's of its era. Serge, Kid, and many other characters are awesome and really interesting. Music is great, combat is weird at first, but you learn about it pretty quick. Graphic-wise, the Akira Toriyama style has been abandoned, but the designs for Cross are impeccable and I wouldn't want them any other way.

    Great story filled with interesting concepts and views. Phenomenal soundtrack, fun combat system, and a vivid and colorful world(s) to explore. I highly recommend this title for those who like more experimental and thought provoking games.

    This is my most favorite JRPG of all time. Overall "Excellent!." I love time travel games and this suits to my style. Chrono Trigger too. I can't wait to play this again as a remastered on PS4.

    El mejor rpg que he jugado en mi vida, aunque si que es verdad que es necesario jugar chrono trigger primero para disfrutar de este juego al máximo. Impresionante.

    It's a game I very much like but I still give it an 8 (more like 8.4). The music is a 10, as well as the art. The story not so. The first half is very good, but later it gets boring and confusing. I think the mistake was focusing on the NUMBER of characters, an innovation at the time, but on huge detriment to the QUALITY. I can reconstruct the story of many games but not of this one afterIt's a game I very much like but I still give it an 8 (more like 8.4). The music is a 10, as well as the art. The story not so. The first half is very good, but later it gets boring and confusing. I think the mistake was focusing on the NUMBER of characters, an innovation at the time, but on huge detriment to the QUALITY. I can reconstruct the story of many games but not of this one after the first disc, let alone remember the sidequests, even after playing many times. Why? Because the characters help you to remember the story, and if the characters are not well developed then there is no connection, no bonding, the enjoyment is not going to achieve good enough levels to remember it later. Huge contrast with Chrono Trigger or games like FF9. Another flaw is that the villain or villains of this game are not well developed either. Then why I like this game? I really don't know, maybe the music, the art, the nostalgia and momentum given by Chrono Trigger. The story also had great potential and there are some philosophically interesting moments. The first disc and the beginning of the second save it.… Expand

    I'm not going to say anything to keep you curious, I only confirm that this game is in the Top 100 games with the best story/lore and if you are looking for something that will leave you with "existential void"...

    Graphics and style are amazing for PS1, sometimes even looking like PS2 title. Atmosphere created by beautiful world and music is breathtaking. Unique battle system mixed with interesting bosses makes this game one of the best jrpgs out there. Too bad there's no bestiary to review all amazing creatures you have fought through the game.

    It wasn't quite the "Chrono Trigger" sequel most people expected, but it's a magnificent game by its own right. [Feb 2003, p.97]

    A beautifully crafted and fresh take on stale RPG gameplay, delivering an experience that rivals "Final Fantasy."

    From the incredible story line to the combat system to the great visuals to the overall feel of the game, players will get the sense of how much of an impact a game like this can have.
