Few years back i played both of these. Never completed them as for some reason i lost the discs.

If i had to guess i think i did about 25% of Xenogears. Got to the part where you fall down into a underground cavern while fighting in mechs.

With chrono cross i did a fair bit i think. Got past the part where you fight a small red dragon....ummm got to a dungeon where there was box puzzles and got stuck. Thats all i can remember lol.

Now im unsure whats the best game to go back to and play through. I love the music in Chrono but love the Anime cuts in Xenogears.

Chrono didnt have random battles which was awsome but i think xenogears did....

Cant decide which to play.

I'd personally say Xenogears, but I'm kind of biased since its one of my top three favorite RPGs. Theplot isjust amazing with lots oftwists and turns. BTW, where I think you are in Xenogears, you're not even close to 25% through the game.

well first off, if u dont own them and u want to ask which to get, then its definitely xenogears cuz that game is really hard to find while chrono cross is somewhat still on the market.

to play is ur choice. plus u have the whole summer :D

You should play and finish Xenogears, then Chrono Cross.

Both games are good, Chrono Cross is the better of the two though. I didn't really find anything special about Xenogears. It was a good RPG, but I don't think its as good as people make it out to be.

Chrono Cross on the other hand did just about everything as good as can be done. The story development for all the charecter was great, nicely detailed environments, and an amazing soundtrack.

It doesn't hurt to play both if you hae the time though.

I've never played Xenogears. So my opinion is somewhat pointless, but Cross is just amazing. If you are where I think you are than there is still plenty more left.

Xenogears. It is one of the deepest and most lasting RPG's from the PS1 days. It's also one of the most difficult in my opinion. Chrono Cross was good, but had nothing on Chrono Trigger and honestly should never have been made given all that happened during it's production.

Both games are great, but id suggest Xenogears first since its more friendly then Chrono cross. You pretty much need a strategy guide to unlock all the characters in Chrono cross.

Well, havent played Chrono Cross (yet)...

but, I just got Xenogears, and I'm already addicted to it.

Other than KH2, it is one of the best rpg game on a Playstation console!

*I know some would say it's too soon to be deciding that (I'm only 1 hour into the game), but its THAT good.

Chrono Cross is a pretty horrible game, but since I was a fanboy blinded with love by Chrono Trigger around the time that it came out, my mind FORCED me to like it.

I'd say Xenogears, just because you're not even close to the %25 completed mark in the cavern. You've still got a ways to go with that.

my favorite RPGs...

in xenogears you are before %25 of it. in Chrono Cross i couldnt understand the place exactly or i forgot there, but i think you are more than %50 ?

so i think you should finish Chrono Cross first since you are closer to the end.

Both are great games, but both have their flaws. Xenogears is great, at least until the second disc. Chrono Cross is great too, but it takes a while to get great. Since you're closer to finishing Chrono Cross (and since it takes less time to beat it), finish Cross and then play through Xenogears. But beware the second disc.
