I love CC for it's storyline, it's paradoxical theories, etc. It's so darn interesting. Disc 1 almost made me cry but Disc 2 is where everything gets interesting. Bring a notepad, jot down notes and everything would be clear. Your questions on 'why' would be answered. What the game failed to explain is the 'how's, which sparked up a lot of real life scientific theories like Temporal Inertia (pulled from Back to the Future 1)

Characters are a multitude and you only use a few. Hey, Suikoden has 108 characters and almost all of them have no real development, therefore I'm not complaining with this one.

Mitsuda tops Nobuo IMHO, therefore music is somewhat good. No wait, it's fantastic! Admittedly, I would say the that the boss and normal battle themes suck. Those are the only music that sucked tho...the rest are off the charge imo. Mitsuda's seemed to specialize in mysterious and grand music, and of course, lyrical.


The Gameplay is somewhat good. Disallowing powerleveling is a good thing but gaining stats...well...leads to powergaming still. Overall it's good as far as leveling goes. It makes you stick to the game instead of walking around for random encounters to happen.

It's great to see Crono and Lucca again but...Marle? Arg...

Overall it's a pretty solid game. Espacially it's storyline. It's storyline is great. It's the only game other than Xenogears which makes me even BOTHER to research on. Did I mention the storyline was good?
