Is Chrono Cross a Sequel to Chrono Trigger?
Chrono Cross is Not a Direct Sequel
While set in the same world as Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross is not a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger and is not a continuation of Chrono Trigger's story. Instead, it focuses on a new set of characters within the same world, differentiating itself from its predecessor.
Chrono Trigger follows the adventures of Crono, Marle, and Lucca as they travel through time to save the world. Chrono Cross on the other hand, while in the same universe, focuses on parallel worlds instead of time travel, following Serge and his allies!
However, signs of the two games being closely connected may become evident as you play along, especially when you reach near the end of the game.
Chrono Cross Story Walkthrough
Do I Need to Play Chrono Trigger First?
Chrono Trigger is Not a Requirement for Chrono Cross
The worlds of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross are the same, so you will encounter references and locations that will make much more sense with the context of the first game. However, because the two stories are not directly linked, you can safely play Chrono Cross without playing Chrono Trigger and vice versa!
You can play Chrono Trigger first to learn a little more about the world they're in as there are a number of references to the first game that would help you understand Chrono Cross a little better!
Where Does Radical Dreamers Fit In?
Radical Dreamers is a text-based game released by SquareSoft in 1996. The game references characters from Chrono Trigger and characters from Chrono Cross, which was released three years later.
Radical Dreamers never made it to the West, but was finally localized over two decades later in the Chrono Cross Remaster.
Radical Dreamers' story is presented through Serge's point of view and chronicles the journey of the band of thieves as they make their way to Viper Manor to face off against Lynx and take the Frozen Flame.
