Chrono Cross is a console role-playing game developed and published by
Square (now Square Enix) for the Sony PlayStation video game console.
It is the sequel to Chrono Trigger, which was released in 1995 for the
Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Chrono Cross was developed
primarily by director Masato Kato and producer Hiromichi Tanaka
(pictured); other designers from Chrono Trigger contributed, including
composer Yasunori Mitsuda. The story of Chrono Cross focuses on a
teenager named Serge and a theme of parallel worlds. Faced with an
alternate reality in which he died as a child, Serge endeavors to
discover the truth of the two worlds' divergence. Upon its release in
Japan in 1999 and in North America in 2000, Chrono Cross received high
ratings and critical acclaim, earning a rare perfect 10.0 score from
GameSpot. The game shipped 1.5 million copies worldwide, leading to a
Greatest Hits re-release and continued life in Japan as part of the
Ultimate Hits series.
