MonicaHOST
Oh, okay.
CrystalHOST
Um- The original storyline up through the first expansion was, uh, mainly written by Masato Kato, who's best known as the director of Chrono Cross, and he also wrote, uh, a whole bunch of Chrono Trigger.
CrystalHOST
He did all the Schala stuff.
CameronHOST
Oh, that's his fault.
CameronHOST
I, I, uh, do you ask that because of the thing I said?
CrystalHOST
Yeah.
CameronHOST
I think that, um, I don't know much about Kato's work generally, but I do think that the Schala stuff speaks to a certain inclination that's out of line with the rest of the writers on Chrono Trigger, and which ended up, uh, really taking over things, I assume, going into Chrono Cross.
CrystalHOST
Okay.
Victor HunterHOST
Sorry, but there's some there's some recruitable characters in this game that I think are pretty top tier.
Victor HunterHOST
If you're like a if you're a chrono cross head, if you're if you like a if you like a weird dude in your party, Romancing Saga 3 has them.
Victor HunterHOST
There is so much weird stuff that happens.
Victor HunterHOST
How do you get

KneonHOST
Vagrant Story, Threads of Fate.
KneonHOST
Was it Chrono Cross? That might've been the last one.
KneonHOST
I don't know.
KneonHOST
But like every one of those games were good.
Jesse CoxGUEST
It is one of those, like, fanciful dreams of, yes, I absolutely wish that's the case.
Jesse CoxGUEST
But... having been around to mess with radical dreamers and chrono cross, they are vastly different experiences that I don't, Like, Chrono Cross is not Chrono Trigger in any sort of way.
Jesse CoxGUEST
Like, it just isn't.
Jesse CoxGUEST
And it's such a weird experience because I want it to...
GarrettHOST
it was like...
GarrettHOST
the sweatiest experience of my life watching it the the first time
Jesse CoxGUEST
that is that is chrono cross absolutely it is a game that is marketed as like oh it's connected to chrono trigger and it's it's going to expand the story it's getting bigger and crazier there's gonna be 40 characters that you can recruit so every adventure is different and you're like cool cool cool but there's exactly one reason i'm here and you marketed this to me and i am waiting for it to pay off yeah yeah
GarrettHOST
yeah yeah i mean i'm with i'm with you peen on the on the being tired of remakes i i am also though admittedly like such a hypocrite because when it's a remake i like i'm like so stoked on it like i'm so glad that it got made and and i'm like i'm kind of in that camp with capcom right now because their resident evil remakes are just so strong
KneonHOST
Vagrant Story, Threads of Fate.
KneonHOST
Was it Chrono Cross? That might've been the last one.
KneonHOST
I don't know.
KneonHOST
But, like, every one of those games were good.
John WarrenHOST
Macabret, I mean, this is probably mostly for me.
John WarrenHOST
Macabret asks, I played Chrono Cross before knowing Chrono Trigger even existed, as we had a Sega Genesis and a PS1.
John WarrenHOST
You ever play or watch a disconnected sequel without realizing it? Do you think that affected your ability to enjoy it? I'll answer very personally and very specifically.
John WarrenHOST
I did the same thing.
John WarrenHOST
I played Chrono Cross before I played Chrono Trigger.
John WarrenHOST
Those fuckers show up in a scene late in the game, and I'm like, I don't know who those children are.
John WarrenHOST
Who are they? I had no idea.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
Cross now.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
Chrono Cross, the weird one.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
I'm glad you say this one for last from our planned ones because I've got things to say about this one, but I'll let you two discuss it first.
Drew CreasmanHOST
Same.
Drew CreasmanHOST
Okay, I was going to say, do we want to do setup thoughts or do we want to listen to it first? I will, in case anyone hasn't heard this before, I will prime some people's ears by saying there are people, and I am one of them, sometimes have a difficult time listening to this actually it's like it can be very intense on the ears there's a lot of dissonance i guess is that is the musical way to put it right i'm sure ryan will break down deeper why that is for us but uh let's listen to the battle music from chrono cross because i know it is a thing and we're gonna have several things to say about it
speaker_0ADVERTISER
Good things come in fours, like ukulele strings, boy band members, and PayPal Pay in Four.
speaker_0ADVERTISER
No fees, no interest, no impact on your credit score.
Ryan LaneyGUEST

Chris PrivettierHOST
good all right that's a good pickup that's brag worthy yes good okay
Robert AlbrightPANELIST
uh he also did chrono cross
Chris PrivettierHOST
Not as good, in my opinion, but okay.
Robert AlbrightPANELIST
Chrono Cross is
Kelley RyanHOST
okay.
Robert AlbrightPANELIST
He also designed the plot for Final Fantasy XI Rise of Zillart.
Kelley RyanHOST
Okay, so this one actually has pedigree.
Robert AlbrightPANELIST
Yeah.
Brendan BigleyHOST
[laughs]
Stephen HilgerHOST
Um, there's also a copy of Boku no Natsuyasumi and Chrono Cross.
Brendan BigleyHOST
Which is what I was just pointing at.
Stephen HilgerHOST
But, you know, it's...
6 MINS LATER
Stephen HilgerHOST
Which, you know, good taste.
Brendan BigleyHOST
[laughs]
Stephen HilgerHOST
But like, uh, FF VII and Chrono Cross, both of those were, like, my first kind of formative JRPGs.
Brendan BigleyHOST
Mm-hmm.
DanielHOST
yeah i mean steve stars is clearly more an rpg in that style i the the chrono trigger stuff in the messenger is the playing around with time and the past and the future idea uh that's but to be honest that's also a legend of zelda thing for that inspiration and so embedded in that.
DanielHOST
And Zelda does dimensionality and stuff too, which is what Chrono Cross did, less with time and more with multiple dimensions too.
RaymondHOST
Hold on, I think you're... sorry your screen froze for a second
DanielHOST
yours did too with your eyeball like half closed that was fun
