Originally released in August 2000, CHRONO CROSS, sequel to the award-winning CHRONO TRIGGER®, is an action role-playing game that follows two young heroes on their search for a mysterious artifact. CHRONO CROSS offers players multiple endings, a cast of more than 40 playable characters, and a battle system that allows players to customize characters with a variety of magical spells and combat techniques.

The story takes place 20 years after the events in CHRONO TRIGGER and centers around a seemingly ordinary boy named Serge and a young woman named Kid. Serge's simple life in a small fishing village takes a turn for the worse when his presence suddenly triggers a portal to a parallel universe, leaving him in a strange yet familiar world where his alternate self has been dead for 10 years. Even before he has time to ponder his situation, he is confronted by bandits, and rescued by a young woman named Kid. Caught up in events beyond his control, Serge agrees to follow Kid on her quest to retrieve an artifact, unwittingly embarking upon an adventure that will span time and space. Adding a new layer of complexity to his quest is the shadowy pursuit of an unknown entity bent upon his capture. In a race against time to find the artifact, Serge is forced to delve into his past for answers to the mystery posed by both his pursuers and the artifact itself. This mystery must be solved before the malevolent entity can bridge the gap between worlds, and bring ruin to both.

An epic saga spanning two worlds, CHRONO CROSS expands beyond the traditional linear plot line by providing players with multiple choices that can culminate in one of 10 different endings. Complimenting this dynamic story element is a cast of more than 40 interactive characters, each with its own particular strengths and weaknesses.
