Death to the person who says Chrono Cross!
My pick is Uncharted 3. |
Thanks for reminding me!!!
Chrono Cross. It was an okay RPG but with many issues, it's not worthy of the Chrono name. When you're expected the follow-up the Chrono Trigger you can't help but feel terribly disappointed.
|
Indeed. It would have been a good RPG if it was a stand alone IP, but coming off CT and it's impact, it was a massive disappointment. The fact that they put the entire plot of CT and Radical Dreamers as a "Oh it happened on a Parallel Dimension, so we can mess up with this as much as we want" was not a good move.
|
Well to be fair, isnt that essentially just like all FFs? Just a parallel dimension after the next?? Hell i think even BOF went that route with number 4
|
Not exactly, there is no connection between FFs (numbered FFs) basically because each one is a standalone game and universe.
FFs aren't sequels from one or the other, while Chrono Cross was made with the purpose of being a sequel to Chrono Trigger and ended up botching that entirely. Not only that, Chrono Cross was an immense departure from Trigger in the gameplay department as well, for the worse; while CT was a fast, fluid and well constructed RPG with some good and inovative mechanics for the time, Cross was basically a very slow turn based RPG which had no unique characteristic to it.
|
I honestly do not remember, Square saying it was a sequel, I had just assumed that it was its own standalone game just like the FFs, so I was personally not let down in that department, you're right about the combat
|
It wasn't a direct sequel, even both Kato and Tanaka said they didn't want to make a Chrono Trigger 2. The problem was that they still utilized lore elements from Trigger to put some heavy emphasis on the plot of Cross as well, so it became a mix-up of some sorts (like the vision that Serge has with Chrono, Marle and Lucca and a whole lot of fuck ups with Lavos and the Time Devourer).
I believe they fell somewhere in between of making a sequel and making a standalone game and didn't quite knew where to go with it.

yeah i could see how that would be frustrating, i just went in and pretended it didnt have much to do with CT, I wasnt so let down, but as a JRPG its just good
