Chrono Cross released four years after ChronoTrigger and 16 years ago. It also wasn't near the quality of Chrono Trigger in my opinion, I would rate Chrono Cross an 8/10 and trigger a 9.5+/10. I don't have any expectations that they can maintain the quality and atmosphere of either game sixteen years after the last release. I would rather have a full remake of Trigger with seventh or eighth gen graphics, voiceacting, and orchestrated music. 

Your kidding? Chrono Cross is amoungst or is the highest quality JRPG's on PS1 period. Its quality is on par with CT.

Just for a correction, most of the development still works or is affiliated  with SE:

- Kitase check

- Hori check

- Kato check

- tokita check

- Uematsu check

Mitsuda and sakaguchi are only ones not affiliated with SE anymore

I can list ten or so PS1 RPGs that I liked more than Chrono Cross. 

- Xenogears

- Final Fantasy IX

- Dragon Quest VII

- Vagrant Story

- Grandia

- Valkyrie Profile

- Wild Arms

- Suikoden II 

- Final Fantasy Tactics (if we are to include SRPGs) 

Meanwhile Chrono Trigger is up there with Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI, Earthbound and Terranigma as far as SNES RPG's go in my opinion, they were all of similar quality. 

I find Chrono Cross to have been relatively boring and lifeless in comparison, but still a pretty decent game with highs much more than lows.  Hence the good score of 8/10. It was not Chrono Trigger for me though. 

Almost all of them are working on mobile games and spinoffs these days. The people actually developing SE's AAA games are practically all new.
