While Not Chrono Trigger 2, It's A Sequel Worth Playing No issues on Steam after doing a few minor things, listed below For better and worse, Chrono Cross stands on it's own as a sequel to the JRPG-classic - Chrono Trigger. It does things better, it does things worse. It's best to see this as a continuation of the world, rather than a direct sequel that expands and polishes the systems that came before it. These games flow and play differently. Steam Issues Seeing the mixed reviews, it sounded like the typical Square port issues. After leaving it idle, initially, I did notice a freeze. After a few changes, that worked for other games, I had ZERO issues for the 50+ hours I played: - Steam Library, click on Chrono Cross page, Manage (Gear Icon on the right), and in General type into the Launch Options: -dx11 - Run the Chrono Cross LAUNCHER as Administrator AND in Windows 8 (other versions may be better for you, that's what worked for me). It's important to clarify: you make the LAUNCHER run as Admin, not the game. - Files > Drive you have it saved on > Program Files (x86) > Steam > SteamApps > Common > CHRONO CROSS > right-click CHRONOCROSS_LAUNCHER.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Run In Compatibility Mode For Windows 8 > Run This Program As An Administrator I hope that helps. If my potato can run it, yours should, too. Chrono Cross This can be a stark difference from what you may expect after playing Chrono Trigger. If anything, trying to compare it to Chrono Trigger is just a recipe for disappointment. Chrono Cross is a good game. If you can separate the two into their own individual experiences, you can enjoy both for what they offer. The Good - The music continues to be as strong as the previous entry - 45 Playable Characters - all with their own personalities, Stats, and Elements; This allows for a fair bit of replay-value and experimentation, alone. The fact you can't get all of them in your first playthrough is evidence of that. - Customization, outside of the amount of Characters, makes not everyone's solution to a problem the same and you are left with many options - Choices Matter - big and small, your choices can matter, making everyone's first playthrough an unique experience when you combine everything previously mentioned - No need to grind. Levels are based on your "Star Rank", which are only gained from Bosses. Outside of that, you gain minor Stat bumps from random battles between those Star Ranks. Once you stop getting those Minor Stats after a random battle, you can freely turn on No Battles and progress with no unwanted interruptions. - Speed Modifier, No Random Battles buttons...I cannot imagine not having them. - You can Flee Battles, even Boss Fights, with usually 0 penalty, to re-plan your course of action...or Steal the correct thing you want from an enemy...more on that later. Ultimately, where I felt I did everything I could possibly do in Chrono Trigger (besides the multiple endings) in my first playthrough, Chrono Cross has so much replay-value AND multiple endings still, too. If that's something you value, if you enjoy this game enough to do so, it's nice to see that more than just 1 playthrough can still provide new experiences. Whether it's immediately after your 1st, or many years from now, at least that option is there. The Bad - While I think the Art Direction and Visual Design is still great, it's a noticeable difference that will always be there, that felt perfect in Chrono Trigger. It hard to shake the feeling. - Combat is a lie. Percentage Chances is a lie. At times, it feels like the game is against you when the game is telling you "yeah, it'll hit!". Feels bad, not too bad. - Customizing your expansive Roster can be a bit of a hassle. There are auto-equip / auto-remove options, which can useful, but it is a lot of menu time. It's especially so for trying to remember who has what when you need a specific thing for a Boss fight - "Steal" action is highly recommended. Since there is no "grind" to get significantly over-powered or under-leveled, Stealing is usually the best way to get ahead and find some great gear. The problem is that the Steal mechanic is one of those games where: you can only Steal 1 item, the enemy has a Common and Rare Item. This is a problem when you can only use your Steal command only once per Battle...and it may not even succeed (tip: Attack and build up your % before Stealing). Now, you can Flee Battles to try again, the drop chance on Rare Steals isn't terrible, but there ARE a few Battles that Fleeing just progresses the story...you basically lost. It's only a very few instances, but there are some. It's just an annoying way to implement Steal, imo. It made me always have a Thief in my party (when I could), and you can't even have 2 Thiefs and try to Steal twice from an Enemy. You can only Steal once per Enemy. - Techs were a big part of the previous game. They exist in this game, too, but are a bit vague. The individual techs often come from Star Rank or secret acquisition. Dual Techs exist as well, but instead of clearly being listed, you'll have to come across them by random chance of specfic Party combinations or by looking them up. I came across 1 singular Dual Tech in my playthrough, but there are plenty...you just gotta know who uses them. - World State - It was clear what Time Period you were in while playing Chrono Trigger. It made the side questing feel fluid, and the payoff for them that much more evident. I can not tell you how many times I went to do something in Chrono Cross, only to find out I was in the wrong Time Period. There are subtle differences, but it certainly isn't enough to convey that information to the player clearly. Additionally, where it was easy to go back and forth between Time Periods in Chrono Trigger, it's a bit of a detour in this game. That makes the previously mentioned problem that much more frustrating. Overall, it has problems, but I think it's still a great game. It expands on Chrono Trigger's world, but it isn't the Chrono Trigger 2 you were probably hoping for. Even that would be a hard task to do. I do recommend it. The Radical Dreamers This is a fairly short visual novel. Some combat, some new tunes, some puzzle solving, some familiar names. There's a lot of text, be sure to save often if things go bad, but there's not too much here. Give it at least 1 playthrough. Once you've beaten both Chrono Cross and The Radical Dreamers...give the Credits on the Launcher a watch. Let it play out fully. Maybe in another time Another world
I waited a few years after release to play this game, and it ran really well without any notable gltiches and crashes. I'm already 20 hours+ through the game and have not encountered any technical issue so far (maybe I'm lucky). To be frank, this is one of my all time favourite JRPG and replaying it today - it still holds up well. One huge drawback is that the game graphics has been barely been remastered/ updated at all, so it looks really outdated. To fix this - I highly suggest players try out "Zeitgeist HD upscale mod" - it makes the graphics looks outstanding, making it look like a different game altogether. It's a pity it takes a modder to fix Square Enix lazy work, but it's better than nothing...
Chrono Cross is really hard to recommend, the game has some good ideas but there are many flaws. Here are the good parts about this collection (I'm including both games) - First official port of Radical Dreamers in english, really fun text based game, I really like the endings - Fast Forward is a huge improvement for CC, the game is full of slow animations, and you have to redo a lot of stuff to get everything - The parallel worlds of CC are fun to explore - The connection between CC and Chrono Trigger is thin, but It is there and It is fun to try and connect the dots Now all the bad/stupid stuff - The cutscenes are unskippable and they kept the original low resolution - Most characters have very little plot relevance - The endings in CC are not that interesting, Chrono Trigger did It way better - There is a lot of expository dialogue right before the final fight - The final boss is really boring, and you have to fight It many times to get every ending tl;dr Radical Dreamers is outdated, but fun; CC is a game with good ideas, but feels rushed/incomplete. This is the best version if you want to try those games
I loved Chrono Cross on PS1, as a huge fan of Chrono Trigger, like probably most of us did. Seeing the mixed reviews held me off buying it for a very long time. Eventually, after seeing a post informing the game was patched I decided to give it a try - and it was a total lagfest. I uninstalled it right away and requested a refund (which I received) I love Chrono Cross - and I was so disappointed it was not available on PC but the reviews and my first experienced kept me from buying it a second time. I have two laptops, my gaming laptop where I play the newest and more demanding games and my old laptop where I play old games (which I believe should be totally able to run similar games to CC with no issues). I must say I tested Chrono Cross on that old laptop and seeing it failed to run properly with a laptop that was totally capable of running similar games it put me off and made me refund it. So finally I bit the bullet and bought it again, but this time I installed it on my best laptop. The game run flawlessly and didn't crashed not even once. I finished the game, got most of the achievements, and was happy with the experience. No need to install any external patches nor mods to make it run as it should. I would recommend to give it a try if you are a hardcore fan. The game worked fine for me, but it didn't worked on my old laptop, so probably the game is more taxing to the system than similar games. As reference, my old laptop can run all Final Fantasy games up to Final Fantasy XIII with no problems, but it struggles to run Final Fantasy XIV, so I needed to use my new laptop for playing that. So if you are able to play FF14 or similar MMORPGs then most likely you will be able to play Chrono Cross too. Hope this helps to other people that might be undecided like me to give it a try or not.
