Of course I wasn't expecting anything collosal from any non-FF Square project. But of course, ChronoCross being a Square project--and I being a Square fan, had to try it out. So here's a sneak peak especially for all you other Square fans.

The gameplay makes you forge weapons with its materials taken from enemies (like in FFVIII).

No MP system in this game and no levelling up. No random encounters so you can skip the chore of levelling up and meeting unnecessary enemies before a boss fight.

A new direction here is that you can recruit a huge cast of party members. Much like in Square's Legend of Mana, except that they're part of your team permanently.

You'll also be engaged in a story where two worlds are involved. Now that should be enough of a hint lest I give anymore spoilers.

You will be intrigued by arranging your Elements (the ones that give you the best magic attacks). However halfway through the game, I am still at a loss at "catching" my Summons. I find it a little confusing on how I should go about it, and I think I need them right now before fighting that Big Dragon!

Is it worth trying out? Aside from the facts above that I told you, anything Square is worth trying out!
