so the story can not tip the story of VII, Xenogears, Chrono Cross or Suikoden, and the characters, let's be honest, Laguna, Squall, Zell and Seifer are no way original and legendary like Cloud, Vincent, Tifa, Aeris, Citan, Krelian, Sephiroth, Cid Highwind, Rufus, Vivi, Victor, Flik, or Delita or Thunder God Cid..
Wha? Chrono Cross's story? Chrono Cross's story was HORRIBLE. (So was FF7's but people blind themselves to the abomination that was that games story.)

Had FF7 and FF8 swapped places i bet FF7 would be the hated step child of the series. FF7 had way more hype to it then just about any RPG ever had, and as such since FF8 wasn't anything like it and tried things new for a FF otuside of just slightly changing stuff.... you had problems.


Chrono Cross, from what I played of it, has a great story(that's my opinion, not yours) and so did FF7 but it was hindered by a horrendous localization effort


 I disagree, and i don't think it's a matter of opinion so much as it is something that can be empircally judged... much how people can tell that Shakespeare plays have good storys, and Biodome has a bad story.

For one Chrono Cross had basically no character development for like 40 of the 45 characters due to the nature of the way you were set up.

Then you have the settings and locations and everything else that makes no sense when you consider that it's supposed to be set shortly after Chrono Trigger. (Since Lucca was still alive.)

Including but not limited too the race of Dragonians... which you think would of been something you'd heard about/come across in Chrono Trigger... unless all the time travel stuff happened "after" the previous time travel.  Which doesn't even make any sense.

Which is another problem.  The time traveling functions make no sense.

Lavos  appearing in "The Darkness Beyond Time" also doesn't make any sense... i could literally go down an entire list of things that didn't make sense consdiering it was based off Chrono Trigger... before even going in to the regular story.
