Chrono Cross rivals Final Fantasy. Nuff said.
Second the specs. The game graphically, is one of the best games on the PS to have come out and it rivals PS2 graphics even for the date in which it was released. Its also an RPG made by Square... so you know the deal colorful characters, magic, physical attacks and summons. The sound is just breath-taking with practically perfect sync and effects details. To sum it up, on a specs point of view you really have a perfect game for the port it was released on which really put to shame many titles out on the later generation of games that came out trying the same, similar or different genres.
Now the story... I recomend that before to even paly the game, make sure you are not play any other long playing time game... becuase you are going to need to put extra focus on the plot details of the game... just telling you that time travel alone messes up your mind you also have to deal with parallel universes and the profund and somtimes character interwinded concept of destiny. Just a tip on my part but you should listen to it cause the game will give you your money´s worth cause its really long and detailed. (2 discs of a game type) Overall this game is fantastic... and altough only like really devoted RPG/long game/ has a lot of time to spend on a game type of people would be the prefered type to play it... just the plot alone will make many people intrested and amazed.
