CRONO CROSS
Crono Cross, like Crono Trigger, arrives at the systems's last days. Maybe, it will duplicate Crono success.
The story goes like this: the hero Serge is thrown into a parellel world where he was supposed to have died ten years ago under some strange reasons. He is helped by an energetic adventurer named Kid, and they are challenged by the enigmatic Yamaneko. While not a direct sequel to Crono Trigger, the game often references events and characters of the original. The battles are a bit like Grandia's, which combines real-time and turn-based combat. Characters have stamina bars depleted by weak, medium, and strong attacks. Attacking builds up an element, or magic, bar. Casting magic makes the character unusable for a short period of time. Balancing attacks, magic, and defense will add some strategy in this game.
Crono Cross will feature a cast of 40 useable characters; colorful, beautiful graphics, and a sound track composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. It will be available in AUGUST.
