What is the appeal of Cross? The characters and story are nonexistent and there's nothing special about the gameplay.

Everything. The setting, the music, the story, the characters. If you think they don't develop, you're failing to read. Even Turnip has more character development than the whole Trigger cast combined.

I got bored of the game when the main character switched bodies or whatever happens there. The story was completely absent up to that point with zero development or anything. All battles played out the same way and even the battle theme sucked.

>> No.9824981

I don't even like Trigger or Cross and while one of the two feels rushed, neither feels unfinished. SoM feels very much like they accidentally released a beta build.

The real question is, if CT had used the combat from SoM like originally intended
Would you still have thought SoM was better?

CT is also plebeian garbage, and you're an underaged retard.

I've been playing Secret of Mana again and with the good translation. It's story is very weak and shallow, and I can't find much good to say about it. It's not very challenging therefore it's not very engaging, the journey is completely on rails, and much of the soundtrack is a miss on tone.

SoM and CT were originally the same game but the combat didn’t stick with what they wanted so that spun off into SoM I think, or the other way round

There is no other "translation" right now, just some kid injecting things he heard was in the Japanese version and making half the shit up to fill in the blanks.

The hell, I thought "Chrono Trigger" was the working title for Secret of Mana when it was CD-based. Or was that bad translation?

It's that from the get go.
Stuff like the inside of the giant dead bug is just the same with its "hahaha, you guessed wrong - now you'll have to go all the way back!" waste of time bullshit.

>> No.9826104

I prefer chrono trigger but honestly man, all three of those games are excellent titles, it’s completely understandable for any one of them to be your favorite.

I will say that the wonderful childhood memories of playing SoM with my little brother are ones that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.

Good music and art direction. Everything else is trash.
