Plot of this game is so hidden and over the top! I love it, damn it is so convoluted but I love it. Only thing I do not like is plot dump at the end, when some of these stuff could be dropped while plot is going on, not just by 1 npc at end of the game. It feels like Xenogears CD2, but Xeno CD 2 did it better.
I am such a Chrono fan. So much things from Chrono Trigger connects by thin threads than can only be understood by fans. If you do not know Chrono Trigger game won't be worse but if you know CT stuff CC will be deeper. Played it in 2020 and still think it is great game. Branching events have impact on who will be in your party. Doing something in Chrono Cross makes you feel that what you do has consequences. It is not perfect but novelty even in 2020 launches this game far above many other titles.
