>Funny enough, I actually hadn't played Chrono Trigger until AFTER I beat Chrono Cross (I had a very poor childhood for Video games), which may be why I didn't go in with expectations and found it pretty alright.

Same here. I have lukewarm feelings on Chrono Cross. As a lot of folks here have said, I too mostly enjoy it for the music and atmosphere but felt that the cast was needlessly large (I got 39 of them but only ever used three or four) and the story was very difficult to understand. At the time, I thought I just didn't get it because I hadn't played Chrono Trigger but when I finally did play that, Chrono Cross still made little sense. Regarding Chrono Trigger though, it blew my mind how much better it was than Chrono Cross and I can understand why fans of CT back in the day would have been pissed off with it.
