Should've made the story a little less nutty, and had more actual characters than just Zerge, Kid and Lynx.

<-- Also should've fixed this factually incorrect statement

More classic RPG adventure plotting instead of bullshit babby metaphysical shenanigans for the YA crowd (or just not make it a Chrono game)
Either more straight combat mechanics or a more interesting gimmick than the elements thing

>> No.5172262

Fewer characters. I actually like the plot, and the element system just reminded me of D&D spellcasting, which was neat.

Mobile Gatcha where you roll for the characters and new islands or portals to other timelines appear every week.

I don't remember a single fucking thing about this game and I played it all the way through

There’s nothing wrong with the game, people just can’t separate it from their precious Chrono Trigger.

> names the game Chrono Cross explicitly so that people wouldn't expect a Chrono Trigger 2.
But it has the word Chrono in it so it should be the same!

B-but it has a different half-name so people shouldn’t have those expectations!

cut the party members down to about a quarter and make them actually fucking interesting

Easy. Ditch the fugly polygons and redo the whole thing with 2d pixel graphics.

>> No.5174316

I recently finished Chrono Trigger for the first time and absolutely loved it. Is it worth playing Cross?

I know that they’re very different titles but they share common elements, or am I wrong?

Someone convince me either way.

>> No.5174375

>>5174316
They take place in the same world but doesn't have much common elements. You collect shallow side characters a la Suikoden, marvel at a batshit crazy story with parallel dimensions and timetravel and whatnot, and enjoy one of the chillest soundtracks ever made.

if you like reminiscing about past games and you think that jumping to a lesser sequel-of-sorts might impact your fond memories of ct (like with music, several of cc's tracks are arrangements of ct's), then give it a couple months for separation.

if not, then dive in. i played them years apart and didn't catch a lot of the ways that ct and cc supposedly tie together (but nothing hooked me into cc's plot or characters, so i didn't particularly care). it's a decent game on its own: combat is fun and has customization options, pre-rendered backgrounds are pretty, and music is nice.

why cant they remake this game instead of final fantasy 7

>> No.5175509

>>5172027
It should have dropped that gimmick all together and focused on a smaller, more rounded cast.

>> No.5175513

>>5175493
Because Chrono Trigger is more deserving of a remake.

More secrets and exploration

No it's not, CT is fine as is and doesn't deserve to be shit on with some awful remake

Combat should have a minimum of strategy to it that it simply doesn't have. It literally doesn't matter which characters you use or what attacks you make. Just hitting the enemy with opposing element and arranging said elements is all the gameplay, plus the summoning system which most people don't bother with the first way through.
Story falls apart in cd 2 and most of the background story has to be obtained from developer interviews or painstakingly pieced together by autism, i kid you not.
I think all characters are relevant enough and people who say they aren't are stupid. The characters actually exist in the world and have a role in the story, although minimal in most cases. You still have characters with large roles, but even minor ones feel important in most cases. I think it was done so well most people don't realize how badly it could have been done. Looking at OP pic i can remember what each of them do in the story. Try finding another RPG with such memorable charas.

Since you can't get all characters in one playthrough I'm gonna assume you've played the shit out of this game then

Do you have an argument or are you just planning to shitpost? Long term memory retention is a real thing that happens in real life and has physical factors affecting it, you know. At least i hope you enjoy your (You)
