''Chrono Cross'', a [[Role Playing Game]] developed by [[Square]] for the [[Play StationPlayStation]], is the follow-up to ''[[Chrono Trigger]]''. More specifically, it is a remake, or re-imagining, or sequel (sort of -- it's [[Continuity Snarl|confusing]]) to ''[[Radical Dreamers]]'', a [[Visual Novel]] based on the ''Chrono'' [[The Verse|'verse]].
 
The story revolves around Serge, a village boy who accidentally blunders into an [[Alternate Dimension]] while trying to get a gift for his sweetheart. This other world is mostly similar to his own, but has a number of very important differences. For starters, in the other world, [[It's a Wonderful Plot|he's dead]]. This scenario leads to Serge trying to learn why he's so important to both timelines, getting dragged along on an adventure by a certain pugnacious Aussie girl, mastering the art of dimension-hopping between his Home World and Another World, and, just maybe, saving all of space and time.
Line 178:
* [[Ripple Effect Indicator]]: The Dead Sea replaces Chronopolis in Home World. As {{spoiler|Crono didn't stop Lavos}} in that timeline, Chronopolis likewise was never built; the sea changed to reflect that status.
* [[Sad Battle Music]]: "Prisoners of Fate" plays during the climax of the game's [[Wham! Episode]] in the Dead Sea. It culminates in a showdown against someone who ''really'' does not want to fight you, but will kick your ass seven ways to Sunday regardless. The same theme plays while fighting [[Bonus Boss]] Dario.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: And how! This game has some of the most astonishing hand-painted backgrounds of the [[Play StationPlayStation]] era.
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: Contains, among other things: medieval dragoons, an early 20th-century army, an 18th-century pirate, a futuristic cyborg, a cave girl (who, admittedly, probably time traveled by accident to get to where you find her), robots from the distant future, and a modern rockstar.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
