What is it?
Chrono Cross was a below-the-radar hit from Squaresoft back in 2000. Overlooked in comparison the the PS1's Final Fantasys (7, 8 and 9), Chrono Cross has never really seen the light of day.
In Chrono Cross, sequel to the now legendary SNES classic Chrono Trigger, casts you as Serge- a boy with a destiny and the ability to switch between two parallel worlds. Comparable to the afore-mentioned Final Fantasys (and from the same developer, soon to join with Enix to form Square Enix), Chrono Cross is comprised of FMV sequences, dialogue, exploration and turn-based RPG gameplay.

Is it any good?
Chrono Cross is considered by many (myself included) to be the best RPG of all time. Somewhat better designed than Square's flagship franchise, Chrono Cross stands tall as an example of excellent storytelling and themes, as well arguably the best turn-based combat system to date. Above all though, Chrono Cross is just a joyous game, with something quite special about it, and fans of JRPGs, or just games in general owe it to themselves to track this one down.
I would give it a 9.4/10
