Chrono Cross Beginner Tips - Best Early Party Members!

Just some small additional info as I watch through: On Pillaging: Pillaging's success rate is actually tied to your heavy attack (3) % rate. This means attacking to build that % is a good way to increase your odds! Small note on this though: In Chrono Cross, when you get hit it resets your % on the character hit. In addition to this, If you build up your %, then get hit, if you try to pillage right after without rebuilding, you will always miss. On Star levels: Everyone in the game that is obtainable by the player gets a chance at a Key (Strength, magic, etc) Stat up on every Star Battle! This means you don't need them in your party to get it at a boss. The only exception to that is with the Mini-Stars; That is only available as a chance for the party in that battle! Also, on that note, there will be a couple fights that are counted as Start Battles that aren't always bosses (but for the most case and ease-of-explanation, boss battles is a good way to know). Additonally, later on, Some optional bosses wont count as Star Battles.

Imagine you're just walking around town and you offer someone's dog a bone and then that dog joins you to go on an adventure and leave its family forever.

Tossing a thumbs up and comment for that wild algorithm! So pleased to see Chrono Cross back in the news again. Feels surreal. Looking forward to more videos!

The music in this game is phenomenal...I remember playing the music in the background while I did house chores...man times sure flies....

Very helpful video and well structured too man! I played the hell out of CT during early teen years, but never got the chance to play CC though. Looking forward to getting down to this soon :)

Omg I just discovered this channel! Obsessed

I really cant wait for the video showing how to recruit all characters eventually

This is really good stuff, Definitely keep these videos coming. This is one of my favorite games of all time and I didn’t even know that’s stealing was based off your third hit percentage.

Another tip for when you are crafting weapons, in case you are missing a material (that is not the base material, like bone, copper, iron, etc) you can trade elements for them with two npcs, one in guldove and another in termina. The trading works according to what level is the element you are trading, so a element level 3 will count 3 points, a level 1 will count for 1 point. Tablets costs only 10g, so you can get 10 points using tablets for the same price you would pay for 1 cure.

Great video! Looking forward to all the CC content to come!

I had no idea how to recruit Lena until you said it in this video. Thank you.

2 years old here but legit good tip video. especially the stealing hint/tip... which if i ever did know before i watched this video, ive long since forgotten it

Thanks for these tips! About to play it for the first time the revamp is the first time it’s been available officially in the uk!

Thanks! I could always use new tips

Thank you! I played chrono trigger but never got to play chrono cross until today. This helped a lot. Now they just need to add radiant historia as well....and maybe some more star ocean...

Always build up attack percentage with light hit and then hit hard at the end. Also light hits is an easy way to build levels for elements. You can capture elements from certain bosses. The dragons uses elements that can be captured. Diminish and weaken helps if you are struggling. The first paly through is usually the hardest and after game plus is pretty easy as you keep levels and elements. Don't rely on peoples videos for party members, mix and match until you find your own group that synergizes. Lots of video show funguy as a weak character yet I beat the game on my first playthrough with him and didn't struggle. If you want Glenn in your party, chose to not save kid. Many characters have dual techs so explore.

I love the first scene where you got a random character every time you start the game

Thx for this useful guide you have a new subscriber !!!

A good starting guide for new players. I would like to make an addendum about Poshul. The big, dumb, pink tub of lard you can get? You CAN wait until Lenna joins you in Another World IF you brush Kid away. It makes the first dungeon(s) a tad more dangerous and all, but I like to do this myself, since it's funny to see Poshul interact with herself in Home World. You don't get this interaction if you recruit her with the Hackran Bone, so...yea, it's not THAT big a jump in difficulty if you solo the first dungeon(s), since everything will die in a couple hits anyways and the game make sure you are plenty stocked on tablets.

All people need to know is this: ABUSE THE DIMINISH SPELL. Abuse it! It’s broken as hell! Keeps you alive after it’s cast, nerfs opponent’s spell damage.
