haha no way I'm gonna play Crono Cross again just for this, didn't make it that far last time

Make sure you look up a faq take the right gameplay route. At some point of the game you have to chose between Nikki, Guile, and Glen.... and the option isn't clearly spelled out for you.

SERIOUSLY?  The dragon kicked my ass several times.  I remember the events leading up to the concert involved you hopping on a cruise ship (where you also did a long and boring side quest to pick up this gambling drunk sailor) and if I could have skipped the entire boat sequence (which are always always ALWAYS bad sequences in videogames) then I would have been a happy sailor.

As far as I remember, you still have to do the whole retarded cruise ship sequence, because that's how you get the item that lets you enter the Dead Sea. You just don't have to do the concert events.

Yes. Inexplicably, the game punishes you if you want to save Kid by giving you a trio of crappy characters.

Yeah if you don't save Kidd you get Glenn who's arguably the best character in the game but if you do save her you get that half naked fisher dude and two other dumb characters.  So weird.  I thought I HAD to save her so I made the choice but when I read a faq saying otherwise I raged pretty hard.

Man this post is pretty pointless but I have to agree

Glenn gives you access to the best fucking skill in the game: X-Strike

On a newgame+, with good stats, that can do over 3500 fucking damage. Almost every boss dies in a hit from that, really.

Glenn was badass. The fighters in that game were so overpowered.

Serge + Glenn + Karsh = Death.

You guys see what Game Informer said about chrono trigger this month? It basically said chrono trigger was a terrible pile of crap that made no sense. and that a 12 year old probably thought of in english class.

I thought you were joking, but I actually looked it up.

- Chrono Trigger - "CT proves that RPG dorks will buy anything Japanese and doesn't make a lick of sense. For the rest of us, the game is nothing but a bunch of tired genre cliches..."
There was even said some crazy things said about Half-Life and a few other well known games.

I enjoyed Chrono Trigger more than Cross, but I really just ran through CC. I completed the game, but I just didn't get as much enjoyment out of it than I did with CT. I'm thinking of playing the game again though, because I know I missed tons of things. The soundtrack to Chrono Cross is probably one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard, though.

they were roasting well known games that probably all got a 10/10 from them, so i wouldn't take it very seriously.
