For the entire second act of the game you play as Serge in Lynx's body and you have to recruit a new set of allies. At the end of the first act Serge switches bodies with Lynx.Advertised Extra: Surprisingly despite being main characters, both Serge and Kid spend long stretches of the game as not playable.Actually Four Mooks: You touch one enemy on the map, you're in battle with 2-4.After beating him, it turns out you were fighting one of Lynx's cat-like "shadow" minions, which he had transformed into his own likeness. Actually a Doombot: The game pulls this early on, when building up Lynx as the Big Bad, before the party finally fights him.Action Prologue: The game begins with an action/tutorial dream sequence which foreshadows an extended gameplay sequence from a (much) later dungeon.This means that, if you want to hit the maximum level, you've got to beat the game twice, then play some way into the game for a third time before hitting the cap. The maximum number of bosses you can face on any one playthrough is 48. The maximum star level is 99, which only goes up after defeating a boss, along with some minor stat growths for a few battles after that. Absurdly High Level Cap: Taken straight into Anti-Grinding territory.Masato Kato eventually returned to this cast in his Creator-Driven Successor, Another Eden, as part of an official crossover story with Chrono Cross written by him, which released on December 9, 2021.Ĭhrono Cross finally became available on the PlayStation Network as a PSone Classic title for those who missed the game the first time around.Īn HD remaster for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Steam, and Xbox One was released on April 7, 2022, including the previously Japan-only Radical Dreamers. There were rumors of a sequel when Square registered trademarks for Chrono Brake and Chrono Break, but a follow-up has yet to materialize, although elements of the intended plot of the sequel were eventually used in Final Fantasy Dimensions II. Much of the team that made this game (aside from Kato) would leave Square after this title and form Monolith Soft. There isn't room on the page for the charts and diagrams necessary to explain all the tangled plots and overlapping schemes going on. There's much more, including a scythe-wielding cat-man with a personal interest in Serge, an ambiguously aligned harlequin, dragon knights, pirates, a Mexican wrestler, cyborgs, musicians who fight with The Power of Rock, dragons, robots, a masked magician, dinosaurs, an undead clown, aliens, a living turnip, and a grand total of 45 playable characters.
This scenario leads to Serge trying to learn why he's so important to both timelines, getting dragged along on an adventure by a certain pugnacious Aussie girl, mastering the art of dimension-hopping between his Home World and Another World, and, just maybe, saving all of space and time. For starters, in the other world, he's dead. This other world is mostly similar to his own, but has a number of very important differences. The story revolves around Serge, a village boy who accidentally blunders into an Alternate Universe while trying to get a gift for his sweetheart. More specifically, it is a remake, or re-imagining, or sequel (sort of - it's confusing) to Radical Dreamers, a Visual Novel based on the Chrono 'verse, handled by Masato Kato, the only returning creative lead from Chrono Trigger. Chrono Cross, a Role-Playing Game developed by Square for the PlayStation, is the sequel to Chrono Trigger.
