Chrono Cross/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Dwarves are deadly when they get together and form a group.

* [[Ear Worm]]: The absurdly chill [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5liLMyiBLU Chronopolis] theme will never leave your head.

* [[Epileptic Trees]]: There's a theory running around the Chrono Cross fansites that {{spoiler|Miguel's actually ''Crono''}}.

* [[Ending Fatigue]]: Disc Two, where each boss feels like the final boss, but inexplicably is followed by another one.

* [[Flat Character]]: ZOAH SPEAKS IN [[No Indoor Voice|ALL CAPS, ALL THE TIME]]...AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

** A more [[Boring but Practical]] Game Breaker is filling the entire first level of your characters' element grid with cure spells. That way a quick heal is never more than a single high-accuracy-low-energy melee attack away, and you should almost always be able to max out your HP with your spare element levels after a battle.

* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Beeba. Just as there are plenty different mobs around, the turn system the game's based on makes fighting fast enemies very, very annoying.

* [[Hype Backlash]]: Imagine, if you will, how much less Internet hate would be directed at this game if it hadn't been billed as a direct sequel to ''Chrono Trigger''.

** A pretty good way to tell who wasn't a victim of the [[Hype Backlash]] was to look at a review. The [[Captain Obvious|positive ones]] obviously didn't, but some of the negative reviews where they admit it's their opinion, that they simply disliked the elements, the hard-to-follow storyline and the [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] (With so many of them seeming almost completely out of place and [[Out of Focus]]) and not once saying "It's not ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]''", they likely weren't.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Guile's first tech, Wanda In, which teleports his magic wand ''inside his enemy's innards and pulls it back out''.

** Skelly's a Skeleton Clown.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: Kid's reaction after {{spoiler|Serge helps her out of Lucca's burning orphanage}} and they watch the scene from afar. That Serge {{spoiler|vanishes ''very'' shortly after Kid laments that she will be left all on her own}} doesn't help much. Not to mention {{spoiler|the implied fates of the ''Trigger'' crew}}, {{spoiler|Kid's reading of Lucca's letter}}, and a number of subplots and character backstories. This can be a depressing game.

* [[That One Boss]]: {{spoiler|Miguel}}, {{spoiler|Garai}}, and {{spoiler|Dario}}. The latter is so damn hard to deal with most players wait for a [[New Game Plus]] to fight him... unless they exploit his [[Artificial Stupidity]].

* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: The plot with Serge finding himself in an alternate timeline where he died years earlier sounds a great setup for a plot uncover how it happened get back home right? Well too bad, the developers apparently didn't think so because they conveniently solve anti-climatically by saying Serge just happened to fall into an alternate timeline by accident. Also, mentions on the main page about the game being about Deconstruction of time travel and consequences of changing the whole planet's history that sounds really interesting? Well that's only brought up once or twice and doesn't play much role in the story. Nope, instead we mostly have a slow moving storyline that does little beyond repeatedly shoving down our throats how horrible humans while doing very little to back it up.

* [[Tier Induced Scrappy]]: With 45 playable characters, it's inevitable.
