CC was such a fantastic game at the time that it's hard to pick. But probably the lost city. Very haunting place. But after 7 years of FFXI I'm immune to SE making me mad.
At the end of Chrono Trigger the fact that Guardia fell not too long after Marle and Crono got married pissed me off.
Chrono Cross has the best soundtrack in video game history. It's also one of my favorite games ever, easily in my top five 'Desert Island ' games. However, the ending was beyond weak, considering the epic journey across dimensions you just took, you deserve more than a text wall (and that's the GOOD ending). Also not a big fan of the fates of all the heroes from Trigger, but I choose to believe that all that was set right when you stopped Fate and the dragons and fixed time. Definitely an under-appreciated classic.
With the exception of Final Fantasy Tactics, I agree.ASan83 said:
The first time stumbling upon the video of the day of Lavos was one of the first times a game managed to instill a true feeling of dread. But the fact they managed to do that and at the same time instill another feeling of hope is part of what made the story so great.
This. Don't forget that it's implied that Dalton, CT's resident butt-monkey was the one who facilitated Guardia's collapse.Mayamellissa said:
Oh, and the implication that Lavos didn't actually die, meaning that the entirety of Chrono Trigger was a waste of time...
On the bright side, both games are still fantastic and have aged pretty damn well.
Dalton. I hate that little piss ant sonofabitch. And you're right: Lavos didn't die thanks to the Mammon Machine and Schala's crazy assed mother, he evolved. Dear god, there was no true happy ending in that game.
As a former FFXI player, though I didn't play as long, I have to ask what happened? Most of the things I remember them doing weren't bad. Seems like they usually improved classes rather than nerfing them. Except for ninja, but it wasn't a tank, and I don't think they liked people using it as such. Nor did I, for that matter. I always had to hold back with a ninja tank. Always.Silenttalker22 said:
At the same time remember that Lavos was simply fulfilling his own life cycle through no fault of his own. And in doing so was ensuring the survival of beings that could experience a level of existence beyond the ones of those he destroyed.Mayamellissa said:
And yes, Dalton has to be the biggest douchebag in any game ever.
It might be the blonde in me but my brain crashed at that. I wonder if it's time to go to bed for me?mikey7339 said:
Lavos was using the planet, and more importantly the life on the planet, to make itself a better being. After it got all the genetic information it needed to evolve itself, it created offspring (I'm imagining with all of the information he gathered for himself after lying dormant for millions of years), who were then going to go off to other planets, crash on them much as Lavos did and continue their life cycle.Mayamellissa said:
Chrono Trigger is great. Chrono Cross is great. Cross only has one flaw, which is less with the game and more with the expanded history that it brought with it. It takes such a huge dump on the events of Trigger.
Can't think of a favorite moment but I'd say the anime scene with Frog and the Masamune is pretty awesome and the scene and battle with Miguel in Cross is pretty intense.

Fact.ASan83 said:
The thing that stuck with me most is a realization I had after beating it. With all my friends, when asked which one they preferred it always came down to which one they played first. For example I had never heard of Chrono Trigger when Chrono cross came out. I LOVE cc and when I finally played Trigger a couple years ago I was left kinda underwhelmed.
I loved the Lost City as well.
Lost City here too.Silenttalker22 said:
It was awesome finding out that the world the game was set in wasn't actually some crazy ancient place, but the post-apocalyptic Fallout of a great cataclysm, and it was awesome how the Goddess of Fate was a man-made construct. Killing her and freeing ourselves of her hold just made me feel like some sort of huge weight that had been sitting on the characters the whole time had been lifted. That's how I remember it, anyway, might have messed some things up, it was many a year ago.
I'd say FFXI is alot better than it used to be. But it also depends which side of the fence you're on. It's not the same FFXI it was 7 years ago, not even close. But that's the nature of MMO's.Saltyk said:
anywho OT:
So many favorite moments in Trigger... Frog cutting the mountain in half, the flame lit corridor leading to Magus, I could go on forever.
It's honestly better now than it ever was. It's just the thing among the community to prod SE's overwhelming tendency to ignore the most popular demands of the community in favor of changes that only they think is important. But its undergone very dramatic changes for the better mostly, in the last two years.Aeonknight said:
