A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Can't agree enough. My brother and I played through Chrono Cross together and that's honestly the only reason we even finished it.
It's tenuously connected to Chrono Trigger at best and those plot points are terribly written anyway. Combat is mediocre, the element system is annoying, and there's so many characters that only a couple of them get any screentime.
If you enjoyed CT, don't play CC; you'll almost certainly be disappointed.
Really good final fantasy of the era, but not a real sequel to Chrono trigger.
Pop quiz, who's the final boss of Chrono Cross?
As I recall it's the time devourer which is lavos after merging with part of schala, but it takes more than a final boss to make something a real sequel to another thing.
So the fundamental theme of scratching back our destiny from our own self-destructive nature isn't a 1:1 match?
You're free to disagree and think it's a perfect sequel that has everything you ever wanted out of a chrono trigger sequel. Lots of people like it. I just don't feel that it's a real sequel.
