My eyes well up every time I try to play it. It wasn't a paracetamol game, but something about it does something to me.

>>3620242
>it wasn't a perfect game.
Typing on pad. Autocorrect got the best of me.

>>3619683
But that battle music tho

>>3619683
A better game

>>3620446
That BOSS battle music you mean

What was wrong with the simple, adventurey mood of classic RPGs? Man, FF7 ruined everything

>>creates a masterpiece

>>waits a few years

>>shits out maybe the most disappointing sequel of all time

>>3621318
>first game is for toddlers
>next game comes out ten years later so they make it for teenagers

What exactly is the problem here?

>>3620446
I still don't understand what's with the criticism of the battle music and battle system. I accepted them just fine.

>>3621362
The battle system is not complicated enough to justify 44 playable characters. That's my biggest issue with it. It's super bare-bones for the most part, despite trying to present itself as something complex with the stamina and element levels stuff.

It just sounds a freaky mess. It sounds like a theme for a boss, not a main battle tune.

>>3621314
This was tight however.

>>3620446
Anyone make a patch to just remove it and play the map music in there? A solid 50% of the game already does it, why not the whole thing.

>>3621318
Evangelion turned Japs into edgelords in the late '90s.

>>3620242

Incredibly gay.

>The battle system is not complicated enough
Why does it need to be complicated to be good? I think it's fun to use and is done pretty well, especially in comparison to those in FF/DQ which I find boring honestly.

Don't know what the problem is with 44 playable characters given that they're optional. No one's forcing you to use them, just use the one's you like.

>Dialogue in a JRPG
Next you'll be telling me about how platformers have too much jumping in them.

Go play Mystic Quest or something.

>>3621773
Do all CC fans enjoy verbose, poorly written dialog like you do?

>>3621778
I enjoy whatever you choose to call it. What's good writing to you? Is it better off to be overly pithy and blunt on the other end of the spectrum?

>>3621785
>Is it better off to be overly pithy and blunt on the other end of the spectrum?
Yes, minimalism and to-the-point is superior to bloat and convolution.

>>3619683
I think it's silly that people will buy subpar games like this because they're "cheap" when you have easy access to tons of better games for free and you don't play them.

>>3621787
Lufia II did a good job with short, to-the-point dialogue and narrative. I'd recommend it if you don't care for Chrono Cross. Do you have an example of a "superior" game overall, or are you not fond of the genre otherwise?

>>3619683
>unironicaly paying money for sub-par official emulation accuracy with fuck all feautures
>doing so when PS1 unofficial emulation is in a golden age
Buy the disc or download for free and use Mednafen. Don't be retarded.

>>3621803
How are PSone Classics inaccurate?

Issues with sound and desyns/timing

>WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

I own an original black label copy and have for a solid decade

Dalton (of all characters) becoming a major villain and conquering Guardia Kingdom was a total asspull 2bh.

>>3622059
Not arguing this, but any examples?

This game turns 17 years old in Japan today

Re-make when

>>3622394
>Re-make when
Right after the Xenogears remake that restores all the content that was cut for FF8's budget.

At one time I was pretty hyped before it came out. The intro music just got me so excited. However the soundtrack, on the whole, has this dreamlike feel to me. Never did finish the game, because my original Playstation finally decided it no longer likes any angle or being upside down anymore. A shame since I thought it was visually impressive aesthetically. I really should play through this one day ...

Don't mind the picture, dug it out for an old posting about what Xbox sent me (the toolbox).

>>3619683
I don't have 3 dollars.

CC is such a slog.

If they cut out the playing as Lynx-Serge arc, it'd be much more enjoyable.

>>3622494
That's the farthest I've played up to. Without spoiling, how much more to the game is there? Would that be around halfway through?

>>3622494
>If they cut out the playing as Lynx-Serge arc
But that's the best part

>>3622535
Backtracking and pointless exposition are good now?

>>3622542
What was pointless about it?

>>3622547
The plot doesn't get advanced at all. The whole thing culminates in you fighting an evil clone of yourself after lengthy relic fetchquests. Also you have an annoying clown tagging along with you during it. The Sergynx bullshit was just unnecessary padding that didn't need to be included in the final product.

>>3622598
>Also you have an annoying clown tagging along with you during it
Stopped reading right there

How will CCfags ever recover?

Who cares. The only time I've given a fuck about reviewers and their opinions was just before the year 2000 ended.

Not that he's wrong, because he's completely right.

>>3619683
A huge disappointment next to Chrono Trigger.

>>3622494
I dropped it as soon as the game makes you switch bodies with a furry because fuck that gay shit

>tfw [HolyDragSwd]

I was do hyped because I wanted to see all my fav CT characters in 3D. Why or why did they have to be midgets ? Also the entire inclusion of CT just feels forced . I still enjoy the absolute hell out of it . The entire plot that you have to kill they monster in the swamp to save your friend but after you do that all the monsters move away . Much later j game you find that they all have move to a island full of little harmless fairies and genocided the shit out of them as result there are dead bodies everywhere and who ever survived hates you. It makes a nice narrative that being a hero depends really on ones perspective and you might do a terrible thing even if your intentions are good. It was also refreshing to see a protagonist with a weapon different than a sword .

>>3628882
Fuck you

>>3628886
Nice ad hominem anon

>>3619683
It's not very good. I'm 25 hours in at the moment and it's going absolutely nowhere. It's throwing new characters at me every 30 seconds for no reason and with absolutely no purpose, the battle music comes on all the time and is so bad i have to mute it, the story has grinded to a halt and now i have to go collect the 6 things from the 6 generic islands like the WIND ISLAND, FIRE ISLAND, WATER ISLAND etc. ...zzzzz
