Board 8 > ITT: Joyrock plays through Chrono Cross (Spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seeing how split people are about it, I'm going to play it and post my own opinions. It's not a first playthrough by any means, but I haven't played it since around when it was new.

I'm not at the beginning; since starting the topic, I have just recruited Glenn and Luccia, and my party is Serge/Poshul/Glenn.

I'm loving the game so far - the graphics hold up well to aging, the music is superb, and I'm loving the story and combat system.

I'll admit I'm not having as much trouble with this as the first time.

Might have something to do with the fact that I never upgraded my weapons or armor until after the Gnome tank >.>;

I was so bad at this game when I was little.

Marcy was the first boss that kicked my ass, and it got regularly kicked after.

Yeah, Marcy kicked my ass, Lynx kicked my ass, Harle kicked my ass, and the Gnome Tank DESTROYED me, I could barely beat it(I won by reviving someone and having them get off a Photon Ray).

Now I'm just breezing through, just beat the Ghost Ship boss and nobody dropped below 100.

Have you played Chrono Trigger?

I want to see how that affects your opinion if at all.

I have, but also not in awhile. I'll play that later.

Trap absolutely everything and make sure you have a large trap stockpile before you clean up all the obelisks. You'll be glad you did.

Try doing that fight five times for Holylights. "never again"

Also, don't be so quick to defeat the next boss. Lay down red traps and go into defense mode for a while.

That's the plan. I have two Inferno traps and one Volcano, I'm not too concerned with getting more. I also have a freefall trap.

Beating Lynx in New Game+ is the best.

The normally unwinnable battle against your party, I mean.
