I've always preferred Chrono Cross.

Chrono Trigger...I don't get the hype personally. It plays like your average RPG for the most part nowadays, and the story isn't even all that special. Maybe it's one of those things where if you played it first then you'll like it more things, like Star Wars.

Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite games of all time. I love the battle system and all of the characters. It's really fun to me for some reason. I don't mind that they don't all have the most well thought out background but then I love Suikoden and it's much worse about this.
