Ct is one of my favorite RPGs as well and I've played it through more times than I can count. CC, I don't like much at all. It wasn't an enjoyable game to play through for numerous reasons, a big one being how much color was thrown around all throughout the game. The color scheme was horrible to the point of making the world look bad in my opinion. I played through it a second time only so I could continue to claim I've beaten all the FFs and Chrono games and so forth at least twice.

Both were great games. But Trigger was by far the better of the 2. The "dream team" only had less than half of the original creators when cross was made and it showed. I've done Trigger around 6 times. New Game+ probably around 30. There's something fun about going in and wailing on bad guys unopposed.lol. And come on people. Magus. Everyone loves Magus. I've always had a personal belief that parts of the idea of Sephiroth came from Magus. Particularly the way how they hold themselves up, the arrogance, and the long hair. Magus was always in my party. All about Dark Matter.
As noted by others, my issue with Cross was also that it seemed they were forcing a relation to Trigger. That and Kid's slutty clothes. However it was a nice change in pace of the old ATB and the elements were an interesting system. But it def needed more double and triple techs. That was one area that set Trigger apart from many RPG's particularly Square RPGs, was the combo attacks with other characters. Cross only had a few. But at least they retained X-strike.
Kefka wait.

Although I've yet to play CC, CT remains one of my absolute favourite games. The music, the gameplay and the plot are all great enough to keep you interested and wanting to play through the game again and again. The variety between the different parties in that you can use different techs with, say, Robo-Lucca-Crono than you can with Ayla-Frog-Marle was a big plus for me as it made me actually want to use all the characters rather than just sticking to a favourite three. I'll play CC eventually though.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I loved Chrono Trigger and I liked Chrono Cross. I thought that Chrono Cross was a little too experimental for my tastes and its plot left something to desire because of its complexity and esoteric nature.
I am looking forward to replaying Chrono Trigger at some point if a promising ROM hack from Chrono Compendium is released. I check this forum in particularly on a regular basis because Zeality, the administrator of the previously mentioned website, posts here as part of his list of sites to announce new titles or ideas on the Chrono series.
I believe in the power of humanity.
I play alot. Like I just beat magus about 20 minutes ago!
Hooray!
Seriously, that's like one of my favorite battles.
To me, fighting Magus is like beating the game. Like in Zelda games, I've beat the game once I can fish!
