I definitely can see why you would choose CC over CT. I want to be able to say I do too (especially since I think CT is possibly the most overrated RPG of all time - hands down I easily choose FFVIII over CT too), but I just can't quite. I think CC has the better, more mature plot that takes the kernel of some ideas from CT and expands and improves upon them in interesting ways. The problem is that too much of the game is spent focusing on pointless filler that doesn't really advance the main plot and one dimensional characters that don't need to be there. And the gameplay just is not as good as CT's. Just not even nearly.
