Xenogears or Chrono Cross? Chrono Cross wins.
12 years ago
So, I randomly got sent $10 free from PSN, and I was thinking I wanted to spend it on an old-school PSX rpg. Right now, Xenogears and Chrono Cross are the frontrunners, as they're both reasonably solid games with good gameplay and awesome music that I haven't really played. I'm just not sure which to go with.
As for other PSX rpgs I could download:
FF7: Already beaten.
FF8: Played it. Hated it.
FF9: Probably a distant 3rd place behind Xenogears and Cross.
Legend of Dragoon: Beat it.
FF5: Don't like the battle/job system.
FF6/Final Fantasy Origins/ Chrono Trigger: Why bother when I already have superior ports on my handheld systems?
Suikoden/Grandia/Vagrant Story: No real interest.
Persona 2: Apparently an option. I don't really care for the series, though, even if you do get to fight Hitler.
Well, between Skype and FA, the votes were in favor of Chrono Cross. Works for me. I'll give Xenogears a try at a later date.

Not that Cross's story is really much better. It's all a load of WHARRRGARBL to me.
Chrono Cross is like... the fate of the world depends on people from the future building an artificial intelligence and having that create an artificial archipelago and the guys from the future are banking on some kid from an alternate timeline/dimension where his existence for some reason hinges on everything and aaaaAAAAGH-* aneurysm*
D'oh ho ho ho.
