In this article I'm gonna review my favorite classic RPG game,
Chrono Cross. Keep reading...
Chrono Cross is the sequel of Chrono
Trigger, Squaresoft's legendary 16-bit classic game. I played this game
when I was still 14 years old. For me, this is the best RPG game ever
made of all time. And I am sure if most gamers who have experience
playing Chrono Cross are agree with my opinion.
Story
The
story of this game is pretty unique, just like Squaresoft's other RPG,
Xenogears. Serge, a cute looking boy finds himself trapped in another
world. In his quest to return home, he meets with kid, a rowdy
adventurer. Along his journey, Serge will reveal the answer about his
true identity and his ultimate destiny.
Gameplay
The battle
system offered by Chrono Cross is very unique and innovative (and a
little bit complicated). There are several elements in the battle system
that makes this game unique such as fields effects, stamina points,
innate attributes and element grid. The better you master the battle
strategy, the easier you beat the enemies and bosses.
In this game
you can also find some mini dungeons where you can collect a lot of
treasures. And don't forget about puzzles, you also need to beat them.
(but don't worry, some of them are very easy to beat).
Chrono
Cross Unique Features
*Different from most RPG games, you can see
the enemies very clearly on the screen. This feature is first time
introduced in Chrono Trigger. (Final Fantasy should follow this unique
features in their next games)
*You can escape from any battles,
even from bosses!
*40 playable Characters In this game there are
more than 30 playable characters with their unique stories and
abilities.
*Forget about ugly looking enemies and bosses in other
games. In this games, they look cool and amazing.
Graphics
This
game's pre rendered 3D backgrounds is probably the best in PlayStation 1
console, even if it is compared to Final Fantasy series. Chrono Cross
also offers great variety of detailed, colorful and pleasing
environments.
Sound
Yasunori Mitsuda is the maestro behind
the sound making of this game. The sound is the best aspect of Chrono
Cross. Many gamers say that if the music is better than the game itself.
The
whole soundtracks are new and unique while some of them are
rearrangements of Chrono Trigger soundtracks. Never call your self a
real RPG gamer if you never play this RPG game. Thanks for reading my
article.
