    This isn't a hate thread over the whole game, people! Please!

    i'm with CY. we're here to fill in gaps on the story between CT and CC, and you ignorant fools go and bash on CC. maybe if you guys had some sense, CC had a terrific storyline to match up to CT's. Now, i don't hate any of the people who say "CT was better than CC. Both were good." I don't hate anyone unless they give me a reason to hate them. You guys are giving me that reason!

    I'm not bashing CC yet, I just said that I like pretend it never happened, so CT's history remains untouched.

    CT was better than CC for the simple fact that CC is one horrible game. And NOW I gave you a reason to hate me.

    I like to think that most of the people who bash CC do so because they simply didn't get it.

    The second disc was crap, yes. It's always bad when half the plot of a game is given right before the final battle, if only because it almost completely prevents any sort of emotional development from resulting from any bit of that plot. Most of the details given were completely irrelevant to the rest of the story or didn't even make much sense the way it was explained, but I distinctly get the impression that the developers were expecting to be given far more time to make the game than they received, which explains some of the empty shells of characters that one can recruit, the confusing plot, and the general "unfinished" feeling of the game.

    I'll be the first to admit that CC could have been a much better game than it was. But moments like the Serge/Lynx body switch and the entire sequence in the Dead Sea more than make up for it, to me. Hopefully, if Chrono Break ever gets finished, it will remedy some of the ambiguities in Chrono Cross's story, but I don't really have any more unanswered questions about CC than I do about, say, FF7.

    *comments on the CC hate*

    I enjoyed the game for what it was. Yeah, it was not as great as 'Trigger', but does that really make it a bad game? I had lots of fun gathering an army of characters (the important ones were developed and that's what counts), aranging my elements in the most strategic way possible, having challanging fights thrown at me (more challenging that ANY in Chrono Tigger), enjoying the superb soundtrack, exploring the variety of enviroments presented, exploring all possible outcomes of certain sections in the plot, and generaly having a DAMN good time while playing every second of the game.

    Hmmm.. I don't undertand, I guess I played another game, a really crappy version of CC that was only sold to me, in order to make furious.

    - If you consider that only Serge, Lynx, and Kid are important, than yes, only the important characters are developed.

    - That "army" of characters only worked to make the game more confusing. I got lots of them, and it wasn't enjoyable. And most of them are really, really stupid.

    - I found no real strategy on the "element" thing, I just stuffed the only 5 or 6 characters that I actually used with the more powerful elements of each color, and it worked against all the enemies I fought until the Sky Dragon (when I finally gave up this mess of a game and started to do more interesting stuff, like watch TV)

    - Challenging fights? I only remember one of those, against Miguel (I guess that the name that guy).

    - I guess I was still to see this "large variety of enviroments", since all I could get was one or two damn Islands. I'm sure I wouldn't, though.

    - Oh, the soundtrack... The only highlight of this game, since Mitsuda is a great musician. Thank God I can listen to it without having to play through the game once again.

    thank you Sephex.

    you have a point about the music, Outsider. and yes, it gets confusing when you have to reequip Serge over and over again when he gets his body taken away/given back. And most of the characters were absolutely stupid to "add humor" to the game. And....

    i somehow feel better now. But heck, any eighth graders who pick fights with me and gets their arse kicked from one end of the Junior High to the other without even touching me, is BOUND to make me feel better!

    I am not getting in one of these back and forth forum debates. I was just trying to show the game from a different point of view.

    I just love complications, which is why I love the Chrono series and Xenogears.

    I thought CC has a !@#$load of underdevolped characters but then Suikoden series was...well, 108 characters =\ and heck, I woudn't care for those characters as long as I get the story done.

    I played CC first. First time through I do not know wtf is happening at all (yeah, I suck). Second time I'm still clueless. It was only after playing CT and taking out a piece of paper will I start to obtain a certain degree of grasp on the storyline.


    About the topic, I didn't think Frog turned the sword evil and if he did, it would start more wierd rumors about the connection between him and Glenn of CC lol.

    And stop the bashing, it's quite obvious from here.

    *additional note to Outsider* only challenging fight was Miguel? You should have tried to take on the Criosphinx without Yellow Plates

    Yeah, try Dario before you get Serge back. That's a bitch and a half

    i actually beat Dario the first chance possible (after recruiting Riddel). i beat him quite easily, though it took a while he never even attacked me.

    How the hell did you manage that? He was easily faster than two-thirds of my party when I fought him the first time.

    I still had trouble with Dario, even the second time fighting him... then again the second time it was 1 am and I was on sleep deprivation as it was.

    If you attack him with the right order of elements he won't attack you, it's just a pain to keep doing over and over. Especially when Riddle is attack prone.
