I like Chrono Cross, as it has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time and it does have a great story (even if it's confusing) and some great characters, as well as good gameplay. While it has some great characters, it also has A LOT of forgettable/bleh characters, thanks in part to the huge number of playable characters. The story is confusing as hell, too, but it's not a bad story.
As a standalone game, it's fantastic, but as a sequel to one of the best RPGs of all time in Chrono Trigger, it doesn't quite stand up to it.
