I reviewed Chrono Cross back when I was writing for the newspaper. Even though it's billed as a sequel to Chrono Trigger, it's actually a spin off of Radical Dreamers. Radical Dreamers was a text adventure that was only available on the Super Nintendo satellite service in Japan. I've always wanted to play it. You can on the remastered version, but I haven't gotten around to getting it yet. But that's why Chrono Cross has so little to do with Chrono Trigger. I kind of wish they would've made Chrono Cross its own thing, and not tied with any other game. Because even though it's nowhere near as good as Chrono Trigger, it's still a decent game on its own. Although the battle system is just a cleverly disguised card game. It had great music and graphics, too. There is an RPG that came out around the Switch's launch called I am Setsuna that really plays more like a Chrono Trigger sequel. And with a few tweaks, it would've made a good side story or something.
