I never understood the hype when I was a kid either.
Honestly, I think it was mostly by dudes to justify why they're playing a game with a woman lead. We forget how sexist everyone was back then. The only way a female protag could be justified was as eye candy.
Also I'M NOT OLD
Lara wasnt my thing but I did have a polygonal video game crush as as a PS1 kid, and it was Kid from Chrono Cross.
A person of culture i see.
I'd like to give Cross a chance sometime. My sister loved it. I watched her play and had so mamy questions about what i was seeing, "wait wtf how many characters are there?", "Poore has an army?", "that guy is definitely Magus dressed as a Vegas magician right?" etc.
Its not great at being a sequel to Trigger but its a good game in its own right anyway is my take. Battle system is plenty interesting especially. I like it.
Yeah, i think that take is right on. Looking forward to giving it a go sometime.
That guy is Magus dressed like a Vegas magician though right?
In Radical Dreamers he explicitly is, in Chrono Cross it was only implicit until Chrono Trigger DS added a new ending that confirmed it.
