Line 22:
* [[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.
* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: ''Cross'' is only a little harder than ''Trigger''. A lot of it comes from Serge, who is both overpowered and can't be removed from the party until [[New Game
* [[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.
Line 37:
** [[Have a Nice Death|"Thus, the life force called Serge was not even allowed to be born into this world. Fate has no forgiveness for those who dare stand against it..."]]. [[Flat What|What.]]
* [[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
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]
* [[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.
