Absolutely the most amazing game, I've ever played.
Graphics//-The game (for a PlayStation game..) looks great. Everything is beautiful, and environments teem with life and townspeople. Your characters and enemies are well represented in battle, and special attacks look sweeeeet.
Sound//-Have you ever heard Angels sing? Well forget that, play Chrono Cross. The music is captivating. This game has arguably the best music in any RPG (or any game) ever. Sound work well and happen when they're supposed to. Perfect.
Battle//- There is no other battle system like this. Completely orginal. You assign elements to your character and some are one use, some are multiple, and you have a percentage of attack left which you used to attack multiple times....its hard to explain, yet easy to pick up. Get the game, you'll see. Monsters are often challenging but not to hard and combat is fun. (It's been awhile and its hard to remember) but I think this game doesn't have random battles, or it has partial random battles, which is a plus to many gamers.
Story//-I don't want to reveal ANYTHING, I'll just say its great, fluid, twisty, and with the ability to grip your emotions. It -will- effect you.
Overall//-This game is truely a masterpiece, deserving of more praise than even everyone's favorite FF and DQ franchises. If you havn't played this game, you are definitely missing out. Please play it, if not buy it.
