Released in 1999, Chrono Cross was to be the long-awaited sequel to Chrono Trigger (and Radical Dreamers: Le Trésor Interdit).

 Chrono Cross Review JohnHummel - TheGamersPress   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Chrono Cross is a great example of what the PlayStation can do, musically and graphically.
A Chrono to put the former to shame, only instead of time travel, this time the story would focus on the parallel world travelling of Serge, a Crono like hero (apparently just as mute) and the people in two different worlds he meets.
Chrono Cross starts off with the hero Serge off to fetch some pretty baubles for the woman he loves (a plumped cheeked cutie), and meet her at the beach.

 Flame Bait Discussion: Chrono Cross
Whereas in Chrono Trigger the entire group fell into their role more or less by happenstance (Crono even literally bumping into Marle for the first time at the beginning of the game), Chrono Cross is indeniably centered around Serge.
Chrono Cross only occurs because of who Serge is, a boy who happens to have died in one reality and lived in another.
I think what Chrono Cross gives the player is enough information so that each of the party members are more than just a portrait and combat sprite (part of Suikoden's problem), but not so much that the player drowns in knowing their entire life story.

 Serge (Chrono Cross) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is revealed later that Schala sensed Serge's cry throughout all time and used her magic to create the storm which led him to Chronopolis and exposing him to Lavos's Flame.
In order to do so, the supercomputer, FATE, needed a physical form, and downloaded its mind into Wazuki, as well as changing Wazuki's appearance to that of a humanoid panther, as to facilitate the hunt for Serge, since Serge developed a phobia toward felines after the attack.
In the Satellaview sequel to Chrono Trigger, Radical Dreamers, Serge is a traveling musician and part of the band of thieves, the Radical Dreamers.

Chrono Trigger had no shortage of standout tracks that were memorable even though they were created on a 16-bit system with limited sound capabilities.

Chrono Cross is good—and I’ll definitely be playing through it a second time to see what I missed on the first go around, but I have a hard time imagining myself dragging it out for another run through every year.

 SquareSound :: Chrono Cross Original Soundtrack :: Review by TheShroud13   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Yasunori Mitsuda who was also responsible for Chrono Trigger's soundtrack composes for Chrono Cross, and though its value is widely debated, I consider the Chrono Cross Original Soundtrack to be one of the finest collections of game music ever created that everyone at least owes a listen in order to form their own opinion of.
In Chrono Cross, the importance of Mitsuda's music is elevated further in that the graphics are quite similar in the two worlds.
Many of the town themes in Chrono Cross are given similar treatment, although more often with the pieces maintaining some melodic similarity, with other aspects changed to fit the differing character of the towns in the different worlds.

 "CHRONO CROSS"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
"Fate" is a gigantic computer that was built by humans to control their lives and destinies.
