Default  Chrono Cross: A Huge Letdown [SPOILER]

This is a SPOILER... Only read this if you've beaten the game...


I just beat the game an hour ago (yah I just got it a month ago...) And I must say it's a terrible letdown.

While I was playing the game, I was extremely amazed by its greatness. Not only it breaks the rules of all Squaresoft's RPGs, but has taken the Materia system to a much more developed Element System. Storyline, although a tad messing, is very good and the fact that brings back stuff from Chrono Trigger gives it an amazing boost.

That's what I tought... Until I beat FATE. At that rate, I tought the game was almost over... and there come the dragons to screw it all.

Ok, I say, I beat these guys and happy ending, blah blah blah...

Terra Tower was a hard place, and when I got to challenge the TimeDevourer (a guy that I was shaking in my ass to challenge, it beated me alot [and I mean ALOT] of times) I tought, like everyone in his sane judge can expect, that it was the final battle...

"NO WAY!!!" I screamed when Belthasar came and told me that it wasn't over and **** **** ****.... but still, a little piece of hope was shining in my heart: that it might become even longer and give the game a rate even higher I was giving it till that point...

Then I go to Opassa Beach, Where Angelz Loze Their Way, and after having some fun speaking to lil Crono, lil Lucca and lil Marle, (at this point I had the storyline all messed up, and I almost didn't understand what they were saying [that thing of putting Sche.... bah forgot her name, into the storyling RIGHT AT THE END is something I HATE!]) I go and put the Time Egg, hoping to find the hardest dungeon of the game, or a succesion of bosses and finally challenge Lavos... but here comes Lavos, or TimeDevourer, alone... and a final boss battle... WITHOUT MUSIC AT ALL!!! well that's just a detail, what lets me down is that the last boss is SO EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just used physical attacks and a couple of elements to heal myself (and I didn't even have Rainbow equipment), but nothing that put in risk my chance of winning!

Alright, yuk, an easy boss... let's hope for an outstanding ending......... NOT! Final boss, roll credits, fin....

YUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, I still have all the sidequest to enjoy (I always beat the game the fast way the first time I play it) and besides the New Game + and all that stuff... but, resuming, CC is a LETDOWN!!!

Beh! You're now spoiling me the game..........

Course I knew, if CT had so many CC obviously has alot (then why do they give you the Time Egg at the beggining of the New Game +...) but CT had a global ending, and CC hasn't! That sucks!

I mean, when you first play it, when you get to the end you expect an ending of some sort... well CC hadn't... All right all the endings are kool but you could give it some sort of ending for the long play...

no no, allow me to explain. you got the bad ending. it's like when you lost to Lavos in CT. let me ask you, did you get the Chrono Cross? you need it to achieve the good ending.
i don't want to spoil anything for you, so if you want to IM me or something, i can help you out so you can do the things you need to do to get it.

No, to get the Chrono Cross, you get the Tear of Love and the Tear of Hate, and combine them at the waterfall near Arni Village.
