Just give it some time... The difficulty ramps up over a long period of time. Over a time that is longer then the entire first game... lol Chrono Cross is HUGE compared to Chrono Trigger. easily having 60 plus hours of gameplay for a true completionist. While Chrono Trigger is about one third of that size. I'm not saying the CT is not a good game, because it is.... however it is one of the most over hyped games of all time.... of course, Chrono Cross's score being so high is very over rated as well.. lol
They are both still great games, but Chrono Trigger is over hyped, and Chrono Cross is over rated.

The game is starting to get somewhat more difficult (I just beat the boss fights in Mt. Pyre and am headed to For Dragonia), but it still feels pretty close to Chrono Trigger as far as difficulty is concerned.
I think I still prefer Chrono Trigger at the moment just because I think the battle system is funner (I'm a HUGE Chrono Trigger fan, but don't feel that your comments made me mad :P), but Chrono Cross definitely destroys it aesthetically, which is saying something as Chrono Trigger had excellent art design.
I'm glad you didnt talke what I said as an insult. It shows you know the difference between fact and opinion unlike a lot of others around these neck of the woods... lol
I guess that Chrono Cross may not be a WHOLE lot harder then Chrono Trigger beside these four points.
1. The game is much longer and not nearly as linear.
2. The puzzles are harder and often times unclear.
3. Later in the game you must have the right abilities equipped of you have basically no chance at all to beat certain bosses or even get to them unless you are mega leveled up.
4. Learning the battle system and using in efficiently is a petty steep learning curve.
It sounds like you are starting to get into the mmore difficult parts of the game. You have almost made it as far or further time wise as Chrono Trigger has total. Like I said before, both great games, both over rated. I am not a person to bash a game that is good with hate for no reason, however, even though Chrono Cross is a great game there is no way it should have recieved scores as high as a perfect 10/10... It wasnt THAT much better then Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger getting an 8 and Chrono Cross getting an 8.5 would be a better score in my opinion. ALthough some would just say "NO THEY ARE BOTH 10's" .... lol
I do agree that the battle system does have a much steeper learning curve than Chrono Trigger's (Chrono Trigger has a really simple battle system), so in that way, it probably is harder. I got the hang of the battle system pretty quickly tho.
At first I found the battle system a little strange but I really love it now. Elements are a great way of customizing characters and I like the leveling system alot. It gets rid of any need to grind up new characters that you get or keep your characters evenly leveled.
