You're lucky to have a guy like Sharky, shion.

Chrono Cross kicks butt. The story is awesome, the characters are cool. The gameplay can be rough, but once you get the hang of it, it can be kind of fun. In a way, it was the missing link between old school JRPG battles & the most recent ones. Nobody really waits their turn to fight, they just throw down. If they made this game today, it might have a battle system no different than FFX-2. In fact, I'd die if they remade it like that.
