The city of Chronopolis seen in Chrono Cross can also be considered as an arcology.

It was released to complement its predecessor's plot, and later served as inspiration for Chrono Cross.

The music of Radical Dreamers was written by composer Yasunori Mitsuda, the artist who scored Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Several themes and musical patterns were later adapted for Chrono Cross on the suggestion of director Masato Kato ; many appear unchanged except for new instrumentation.

Appearing in Chrono Cross are " Gale ", " Frozen Flame ", " Viper Manor ", " Far Promise ~ Dream Shore " ( as part of " On the Beach of Dreams ~ Another World ", " The Dream that Time Dreams "), " The Girl who Stole the Stars ", and " Epilogue ~ Dream Shore " ( as part of " Jellyfish Sea ").

Kato's team completed Radical Dreamers in only three months under a rushed production schedule, prompting him to label the game " unfinished " in an interview for the Ultimania Chrono Cross guide.

Radical Dreamers preceded Chrono Cross, a full role-playing video game sequel to Chrono Trigger.

Chrono Cross borrowed certain thematic elements, story points, characters, music, and objects introduced in Radical Dreamers — including the infiltration of Viper Manor, the Frozen Flame, the name Radical Dreamers for Kid's thievery, and the characters of Kid, Lynx, and Serge ( who became a non-speaking protagonist ).

Gil, confirmed by Kato to be Magus, was also going to be featured in Chrono Cross.

Since the release of Chrono Cross, Radical Dreamers is considered an alternate continuity of the Chrono series.

Chrono Cross addressed this through an easter egg hinting that Radical Dreamers took place in a different dimension.

In the English version of Chrono Cross, this easter egg refers to Gil as " Magil ".

A new Chrono series game has not been made due to the difficulty of reuniting the splintered Cross development team, some of which continue to work on Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV, while others left Square Enix ( then Square ) after the completion of Chrono Cross to form Monolith Soft.

Square has also made other widely known games such as Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Secret of Mana, Legend of Mana, Xenogears, Brave Fencer Musashi, Parasite Eve, Parasite Eve 2, Saga Frontier, Romancing Saga, Vagrant Story, Kingdom Hearts ( done in collaboration with Disney Interactive ), and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars ( done under the guidance of Shigeru Miyamoto ).

Yasunori Mitsuda is a highly known composer of such games as Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I, Chrono Cross, and Chrono Trigger.

He is best known for his compositions for the video games Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Mario Party, Shadow Hearts, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I, Soma Bringer, Xenoblade, and Inazuma Eleven.

Mitsuda also during this period produced albums of arranged music of his original scores, creating acid jazz remixes in Chrono Trigger Arranged Version: The Brink of Time and a Celtic arrangement album of Xenogears music, Creid.

He also sometimes comes up with songs while asleep, including the ending theme to Chrono Trigger and " Bonds of Sea and Fire " from Xenogears, though his main inspiration is visual items, " paintings or other things ".

His final battle themes for Chrono Trigger and Xenogears are based on only a few chords each, with the latter containing only two.

Mitsuda names his favorite works as the soundtracks to the Chrono series, Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I, and the original album Kirite, though he also says that all of his soundtracks are " representational works ", as they represent who he was as a composer when he made them.

Global popularity of video game music would begin to surge with Square's 1990s successes, particularly with Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII by Nobuo Uematsu and with Chrono Trigger, Xenogears and Chrono Cross by Yasunori Mitsuda.

He is mostly known for having penned the script of Chrono Trigger ( based on a story draft by Yuji Horii ), as well as Radical Dreamers, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, and parts of Final Fantasy VII.

Uematsu signed on to finish the soundtrack for the critically acclaimed 1995 title Chrono Trigger after the game's composer, Yasunori Mitsuda, contracted peptic ulcers.

The story of Chrono Cross centers around travel between two alternate timelines, the original or " Home " universe and " Another World " which is a branch created by the actions of the heroes of the game's predecessor, Chrono Trigger.

100, 000 units were sold in the first 20 days of the game's release, despite being overshadowed by other Square titles like Final Fantasy IX and Chrono Cross.

Nevertheless, by the end of the development, Masato Kato had connected the game's plot and characters to Chrono Trigger, turning it into a side story.

They included Chrono Trigger: Jet Bike Special, a racing game based on a minigame from the original ; Chrono Trigger: Character Library, featuring profiles on characters and monsters from the game ; and Chrono Trigger: Music Library, a collection of music from the game's soundtrack.

The anime takes place in the same setting as Chrono Trigger during the night before the beginning of the game's events.

IGN termed the Chrono Trigger soundtrack " one of the best videogame soundtracks ever produced " and said that the music was a large part of the game's ability to " capture the emotions of the player ".

There were various special editions, including the Chrono and Bianco ( all white ) models.

Adventuring is done in a fashion very similar to Squaresoft's Super Famicom games such as Chrono Trigger and Seiken Densetsu 3 with the group exploring various locations typical to the genre such as towns, forests, dungeons, castles and a few more fantastical locations.

In the manga, it is revealed that he had initial history with Chrono as he was the boy who failed to save Mary Magdalene from being kidnapped by Chrono.

In Chrono Trigger, a save point in Magus ' castle will actually attack the character if he attempts to use it.

Kato had previously mentioned in the Ultimania guide for Chrono Cross that he wanted to create a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger to wrap up certain story elements and plot threads, and that the pitfalls of a direct sequel prompted them to do Chrono Cross instead.

Worthplaying editor Agustin described the set-up as being " Dragon Quest-like ", and that while he acts as a vehicle for players to view the plot through, he compared him to critically acclaimed characters Crono and Link from the Chrono Trigger and The Legend of Zelda series respectively.

It is a side story to Chrono Trigger wrapping up a loose end from its predecessor's plot.

These later stories often feature comical situations or allusions to Chrono Trigger.

This allowed experimentation with applied acoustics in video games, such as musical acoustics ( early games like Castlevania IV, F-Zero, Final Fantasy IV, Gradius III, and later games like Chrono Trigger ), directional ( Star Fox ) and spatial acoustics ( Dolby Pro-Logic was used in some games, like King Arthur's World and Jurassic Park ), as well as environmental and architectural acoustics ( Zelda III, Secret of Evermore ).

He was needed to activate the Chrono Morphers for the other Time Force Power Rangers because of the DNA match, but he later did assist the Power Rangers, despite his privileged upbringing.

Chrono Break is the name of a trademark registered by Square ( now Square Enix ) in the United States on December 5, 2001 that was later abandoned.
