Non-XSEED game music you should hear!

I don't understand that comment, what says a sequel has to use the same mechanics at all? Double and Tripple techs if anything were included as a nod. Through the entire game right up to the final battle, Elements are the focus, not combo attacks.

That stance is exactly one of the reasons why I think Cross in underappreciated. It's not Trigger version 2 and it was never designed to be, fans going into it expecting that set themselves up for a fall.

As far as your point about the plot, I would imagine you're talking about the one scene is Chronopolis where Chrono, Lucca, and Nadia are reaming out the party as they head toward Miguel. I think you're misinterpreting that scene. It's ruled out very quickly that the images of those three are merely remnants. When you talk to them again at Opassa, notice how different they are?

Then why bother including them if you're not gonna make use of them? As a nod? That's lazy. There's so many unique characters in Chrono Cross with all different types of attacks, that, yeah, it's pretty understandable to be disappointed that there's so few in the first place. Don't include them if you're not gonna make use of the feature, because then it's not so much a nod to Double/Triple techs, but more like a crappy tease.

But the game is advertised as such and even says on the back of the case that it is the long-awaited sequel to Chrono Trigger. It's completely understandable that fans of Trigger would be disappointed that the game is such a bad sequel to it!

By itself it's fine, which I'm sure the developers would've preferred the game to be seen as, but when you specifically throw in the characters from Chrono Trigger in, as well as make blatant references and story connections to it, then I can't sit here and say "It's not a sequel". It is, and there's no denying this.

So, fans of Trigger have every right to be disappointed to it as a continuation. Otherwise, it's a pretty damn good game.

Oh, it's been quite awhile since I've played, so I probably glossed over and forgot about that.

Well, I think the game is better than Chrono Trigger.
There, said it.

[Akai Shuichi]

I personally think that Chrono Cross is A LOT better than its "prequel"...And even if there is not another Chrono game, I believe the game is far from underappreciated

Just to... you know change subject

Oh, come on, The Last Remnant was nice!
I'm not listening to anything right now, but I'm watching SNSD's Hello Baby.

I think the game had beautiful scenery and, as I've said, great music, but I could not stand the battle system. It's really one of the worst I can think of. I hated not being able to even choose who to heal/revive, hell, I hated sometimes not even HAVING the option to revive/heal. >.<

[PringlesXD]

Oh that... well, I like to think they were experimenting things.
The only thing I really hated was how you couldn't remove Doom status, except for the PC version.
