Is In Your Base, Killing Your Mans

Has anyone here played this game? It wasn't released for Europe, btw, but I managed to find a conversion cable (or somesuch, don't really remember anymore) and soon after became addicted to this game. And to think when I first saw my cousin playing it, I said something along the lines of "What the hell are you playing? Looks like kids' game." Of course, this was some 7 years ago or so.

    Played Final Fantasy Games Before FF7

    Yes I have played this game and loved it. That was a long time ago...maybe 8 years. From what I remember it was great. The combat system was solid, and the customization was refreshing and deep. There were tons of characters to get and I think I only got around half...shame on me I know. The story in my opinion was on par with many Final Fantasy titles which is really saying something.

      I completely agree on the story, it wasn't all like FF plots, still refreshing, but deep nonetheless. I loved it. I was quite addicted to it for a long time, too. And still, after well over 1000 hours playtime, I didn't discover everything there is in the game and that's why I like it so much. It's been so long, almost 8 years too, and it's not getting boring. I did manage to get all the characters more than once, though.

    What do you mean it wasn't released for Europe? :S

    Oh look, it really wasn't! :O

    I didn't know that... Wait, then... I must've played a NTSC version under disguise as a PAL.

    Well, anywhoo, Chrono Cross is a great game. Ayup. I forgot most of it but, ayup.

      Yeah. I was lucky to find a conversion cable that allowed me to play it.

    I imported Chrono Cross years ago, and thought it was awesome. Loved the multiple storylines and story arcs, which changed throughout the game.

    Bless imports.

      Haha, yeah, I'll say. For such an old game, it's still one of my all-time favourites. So much diversity.

    I actually managed to find a Best Of copy in the waning days of the PS1 at the back of some store, and I immediately bought it because I knew all of the old Playstation stuff was going to get evaporated eventually. Well, it pretty much ruined me for most other RPGs.

    It's still sitting in the case next the to the grey PS1, which means I should probably replay it. Such a great game.

      It ruined me too, no other RPG game after CC was ever satisfactory for me again.

        The only ones I played after it that came close were Skies of Arcadia: Legends, and probably something else.

    I adored that game. Still haven't beaten it yet, though. :P

        I usually get stuck at one point or another and lose interest. Then when I return to it a couple of months later I just start a new game because I can't remember what I was supposed to be doing.

          Ah, that's too bad. You really should finish it at some point!

    I loved Crono Cross. I got it when it first came out.. some many years back. I loved Crono trigger as a kid, so when Crono Cross came out I was pretty happy. I liked how the game did pay respects to quite a bit of Crono Trigger...
    It did have a semi FF in depth story feel...
    I've come across a lot of people who have over looked this game.. it's a shame really because it was a great game.
    Kind of like Legend of Dragoon.....

      Yeah, I know what you mean. Square did their best to incorporate both Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy elements into the game.
