No – Chrono Cross is about as much a sequel to Chrono Trigger as Super Mario Bros. 2 is a sequel to Super Mario Bros.

Chrono Cross is really a sequel to the visual novel Radical Dreamers, which is included in this Switch release (but which, IMHO, is a pretty blah experience, particularly if you're not a huge visual novel fan, as I'm not). At some point in its development, a decision was made to bring it into the Chrono Trigger series, but the game does not have any real intrinsic connection. (The contemporaneous PS1 RPG Xenogears has a bit more of a Chrono Trigger-esque "feel," in my opinion, though it has never been released for Switch.)

There certainly *are* plot points in Chrono Cross which make explicit connections with Chrono Trigger, but no familiarity with the prior game is needed and if anything, familiarity with the prior game will only frustrate your expectations. The battle system, characters, and plot are all fairly different, and apart from the occasional plot connection, Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger are not much more similar than any other two Squaresoft JRPGs.

Chrono Cross is, in the end, a good JRPG that has always suffered in comparison with the GOAT JRPG.

That said, if you haven't played Chrono Trigger... do yourself a favor and play it!

FYI the Kingdom Hearts games are cloud streaming only, you will need a very strong internet connection to play them otherwise you will have lots of input delay.

You will have a much better experience playing them elsewhere.

Can't wait to add Chrono Cross to the list of games I will purchase again (third time now for me) and never replay.

I need some new re-releases of Final Fantasy Tactics and Star Ocean: The Second Story to rebuy but never replay.

Though I have gig internet, I'm staying away from cloud streaming on my switch. I'll wait for the next PC sale.
Shame, I've been waiting on a deal for KH3 on PC, 45 bucks for 1.5/2.5, 2.8, and 3 would have been a sweet deal had they done it right like they did with dragon quest instead of this junk. Although, For those with ps4/PS5 it's like It's 32 bucks for the PS4 version on Amazon, so still paying more getting a lot less.

Will Crisis Core ruin FF7 for me? Haven't played either.

Any opinions on FFIX?
I would personally recommend VII first. Crisis Core would spoil a few major things. I see a lot of people disagree with me, but I feel like the story beats that are connected should be experienced in VII first, but just IMO so take it as you will.

FF IX is great and IMO the Switch ports of VII-IX are all awesome. 👍

I would love some Dragon Quest ports - but why the hell are these new "art" so ugly? If I could toggle the old style I'd bite.

Powerwash simulator, WTF?!
This was on sale last year and it's a lot better than Lawn Mowing Simulator IMO. As a homeowner, I have both chores in real life (unfortunately). I ended up completing Powerwash Sim and it's included on Game Pass. It's oddly satisfying and great to play when you just want to zone out on the couch after a rough day at work.

If you enjoyed Chrono Trigger, I would highly recommend I Am Setsuna, which is more of a spiritual successor than Chrono Cross in terms of game play. The story is your run of the mill JRPG but the ability to do double and triple techs and the presentation is on brand with Chrono Trigger.

The developers themselves even said that the game was inspired by CT.
