Yes, that's right, 1 dollar and 99 cents for the complete 2 disc Playstation game.......Chrono Cross. Case is like brand new, games themselves are lightly scratched, I went over them with some scratch remover and they both now look like fresh from the factory discs. Now, I never played Chrono Trigger, so I'm not sure if I should even play chrono cross, but I know trigger got great reviews and cross earned itself one of a handful of Gamespot's 10/10 ratings. I'm excited, to say the least. Anything I should know before I delve deeper into the game?(so far I'm like 10 minutes in, just fired up disc 1 to make sure it plays) Should I hold off on cross and play trigger first?
chrono cross and chrono trigger are sequels in about as much a fashion as final fantasy 1 and any other final fantasy (excluding 10 and 10-2, of course). you don't need to know anything about chrono triggerto really love chrono cross.
Sorry to disappoint you, Matthews. :P Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I ran into it. Somebody here asked where I got it, they should know I found it at the thrift shop. Somebody had scattered its disc. I found one single disc in the "game+DVD" bin, and thought somebody had bought or taken the other disc and case, but I kept digging and I found the 2nd disc and case. I was astounded when it rang up for 1.99. Can't wait to play it. I only asked which to play first because in the gamespot review it said that cross kind of EXPANDED the story of Trigger. But I guess it doesn't matter, I'm too excited to wait to play cross, I'm gonna' dig deep into it this weekend. :D Anybody know how difficult/long it is compared to other RPGs? I'm hoping the story is good enough to keep plugging away for at least 20+hours.
It doesn't matter which one you play first. While both games somewhat relate, the order doesn't matter. Though I liked Trigger a lot better than Cross.
It's a relatively lengthy game... It was the first real RPG that I ever played, and it took me ages without really getting close to beating the game my first go round, but now that I actually understand how to play an RPG, the difficulty doesn't seem to be anything spectacular. I know exactly where to go and how to beat every boss, and it still takes me 25-30 hours to play through it from the start.

I had a LOT of trouble when I first played it, at a younger age. Now it's a total joke but I still love it........too bad the 2nd disc doesn't work :(

I eventually bought it several years ago and it was so much easier.
Nooo! Dont play Chrono Trigger first! Make sure you play Cross first, you will enjoy Cross much more without playing Trigger.

A lot of complaints about Chrono Cross stem from the fact that it isn't CT2, and it plays nothing like the original CT. You might enjoy it more if you didn't play CT, so you don't have any expectations.
That's a pretty good deal. I got my copy a number of years ago, I cant remember what I paid for but I know it wasnt that low. Anyway I got about halfway into it and never finished. Perhaps some day I should pick it up again.
[QUOTE="King9999"]That's a great find! But I agree with this guy...

You might enjoy it more if you didn't play CT, so you don't have any expectations. Exactly, If you play Trigger first and then go into Cross expecting it to be just like Trigger, you will be disappointed most likely. Most people hate Cross for not being like Trigger, but I praise it for being different.
Alright I got my first question. I can't save. Any ideas why? I got past that intro dungeon level and into the little village where you talk to marge. I try to save, and the save feature is dark grey and won't allow me to click on it. So I see I need to make a PSOne internal memory card. Played again, got to same point, nothing. Switched PSOne internal card to the 1st slot, and still can't save. Any ideas?
Maybe I'm missing what you're saying, but do you realize that you have to either be on the world map or at a Record of Fate (floating green pyramid shape) in order to save?
Yeah, that's what I was asking, was how to save. 3 hours in, just got to Vipor Manor. You say I got like 25-30 hours to beat it right? The story so far is phenomenal.
Man, just got to the prophet of time, just astounding for a story. I keep forgetting it is almost 10 years old, which, is definitely a good thing. I'm stuck though. I haven't looked to a walkthrough in forever, but I had to. Prophet of truth told me to head for the 2nd pillar on the left for a switch. Switch.....where? Hopefully youtube will rescue me. An analog stick would help too. :P But D-pad is all we got.

They're closer sequels than the FF series. It's more similar to the Phantasy Star series of sequels. The Chrono series takes place in the same world/worlds.
I picked it up from the local thrift shop. To whoever asked, I'm 18. Been meaning to play Chrono Trigger for the longest time, just haven't gotten around to it. The music is great, better than Final Fantasy tunes, IMO. They seem more "western" somehow. Seriously, to those who beat the game, WHERE is the switch? Game says 2nd pillar from the left. I went behind it, in front of it, beside it, around it, and have been pressing the X button everywhere, but I can't find that switch. Somebody help, please? A screenshot or something. No BS, I fumbled my way around that pillar for 15 minutes today.

Yeah, all guides say 2nd pillar from the left. I've just beat Marcy and talked to the prophet of Truth. Supposedly, if I hit this non-existent switch, a platform will lower and I can fight a guy named Lynx. WHERE IS THAT GOD-FORSAKEN SWITCH?! LOL I can't remember the last time I was this lost in a game.
Hehe I got stuck here too. What you have to do is, its the second from the left from the TOP left pillar..if that makes since. I was going from the bottom left..you have to get the second one from the top left pillar. That should fix it.

geez, I need to play this game again cause i have no idea where you are, but I have an idea I think.
Great Bargain. I recently bought Dark Sector for ps3 used and the case is 1 scratch short of new, new booklet, the disk is 100% new. I have never bought a game in such great condition from gamestop, except new. I also got red faction 1 for 3.99 but with a bad case. Add me on gamespot.
Thanks for the help guys, but I just ended up searching EVERY pillar. The game and all these sites lied unless I'm blind. The way I did it is like this. There ARE 4 top pillars which are skinny. And 4 BOTTOM(of screen) which are thick and sort of diamond shaped at the top. Now, if you count the bottom ones, the 1st from left doesn't have it(the one closest to the metal gate) the second thick bottom one doesn't have it, but the FIRST thin one, actually THIRD from left HAS it. I was astounded. Just go behind the FIRST skinny pillar, point south, and BAM "There's a switch here, do you wish to push it?" Just astounding. Hope nobody else gets stuck there like I did. Was almost a game breaker. In other news, I'm happily moving on, now 6 hours in. (not counting the 2 hours I spent re-doing the section 3 times to get to the pillars to try to find that switch, LOL)
