I don’t think it’s fair to say not to bother with Chrono Cross but I do agree it’s important to stress how unrelated to Chrono Trigger it is. As a sequel it fails. But as its own stand alone JRPG, I think it’s great.

Personally I love Chrono Cross and how different it was. And the music is ridiculously good (Yasunori Mitsuda main Chrono Trigger composer.)

I think it’s worth a go. It starts you somewhere in the middle of the story so you get action straight away. So anyone who tries it will know quickly if it will be up their alley without having to invest too much time.

Windjammers is awesome. If you’re ever looking to try a different game that’s similar-ish, Bang Bead for Neo-Geo is also great!

Oh man I haven’t thought about this game in years. I grew up with the NES version. Such a fun game with awesome music. Now that I think about it, I don’t think I ever even played the original arcade version. Thanks for the post, fantastic write up :)

Recently fished out my PSP-1000 from my closet only to find the battery ready to pop. Need to look into disposing of it now before anything bad happens -_-

Commenting UI is currently getting an overhaul to match the create a post UI (assuming you are on Thunder nightlys). I think posting images will get added then. If not we can take definitely take a look at adding it :)
