    CHALLENGE RULES:
    1. Once yellow characters are available, only yellow characters may act. All other characters must use the defend command.
    2. If yellow characters are not available, all other characters may only use weak attacks OR use yellow elements. The only exception is Sprigg, who may use the transform command to become a yellow monster if no yellow characters are available.

      @@tantacles When I made that post, I had Leah and Zoah in mind (although the latter really wants a Stamina Belt), but some of the others do have advantages based upon when they join. Poshul's strength in the early game is usually really good, Mel has a boomerang (although it is not really that good in a game where random encounters are not an issue), Viper gets his unique weapon on join with decent stats (although he has the poor availability), and Norris is basically a yellow element Radius when he joins, which is also not terrible.

Most people lose that fight simply because they didn't dedicate enough slots to healing.

      Well normally to NOT die from Garai/Miguel even in 1 hit I would stock up on RECOVER All and HEAL alls and those are WHITE and GREEN Innate only all the OTHER Methods of restoring HP in battle are pure CRAP.
      Its just that Capsules ONLY heal for 80 HP on 1 target Triple Cut Will Breaker Garai and Holy Dragon Sword can do like 3 to 4 TIMES that 80 damage at like 250 to 300 IN 1 use but at the same time Norris/Zoah IMHO still have the best lv 3 and lv 5 tech skills in game Leah IMHO is pure crap and you can't USE mel to STEAL the armors off all 6 dragon bosses since she can't be used and Poshule can't either post Fort dragonia.
      The ONLY METHOD of HEALING if NOT using White/Green/Blue Element users IS via those Consumable healing and Tablets Red and Capsules Yellow users are PURE CRAP that only leaves the Black Elemental Consumables and while those can heal for around 200 max HP tops Triple Cut Will Breaker Gara and Holy Dragon Sword on a first run can do MORE then 200 damage PER use.

    the thing about the cast of CC that people dont get is that, its supposed to feel random and unbalanced, with some people having these grand adventures, and personal quests of personal growth, while others are just normal people that got caught up and decided to do shit about it,
    i say this everytime, but NOT EVERYONE NEED A QUEST OF SELF DISCOVERY, sometimes, people are already at their highest point and require no further development.
    which is why macha is my favorite in the entire cast. she is just this, normal housewife, who simply thought, sure, at my age, there's not much i can do, but hey, if i can help, sure, lets go.
    she is already an amazing cook, and a great housewife, with a growing son she is proud of. there's no much more that she need to, or even want to acomplish.
    she doesnt need development, because, she is already the best she can be. and she is happy with that.
    and she isnt the only one. same with her husband orcha.
    now there's an argument about korcha, how he barely get any development, but the thing is, he DOES get it, its just that it happens if you decide to abandon kid to die.
    he goes on his own adventure, and growth, showing that, sometimes, people wont be able to do so, when surrounded by others who are more than them.
    and that's something i really think people miss in the game. and the reason why, i LOVE the massive cast, filled with dumb, or even pointless characters.
    because, they are people from that world, ordinary people, who just said, "you know what, sure, i will help you save the world, even if im not the best person to do it".

    • @_iao_
      @_iao_ Před 5 měsíci +1

      totally agree with this perspective. unfortunate that this point of critique was so prevalent. one of my favorite characters is Greco, and the game wouldn't necessarily have been better if we got more development or exposition about him. it's a grounded perspective where we, for the most part, only learn what Serge would have, in this brief moment in time we have with these characters. it's part of the theme of the game. they either had their own development in the past, in a future too distant for the game to show, one that isn't relevant to our own journey, etc. and that's all valid to include.

    • @Shalakor
      @Shalakor Před 5 měsíci

      TL/DR: The real reason people criticize the characters with with flat character arcs is due to the playable characters lacking gameplay mechanic incentives, rather than on their own merits.
      The main issue is, the game doesn't really do anything to make the large cast of characters valuable to actually help in any way. Like, in FF6, there's sections where you have to make multiple parties to explore different sections of a dungeon area simultaneously. In other games the nonactive party members can participate in some kind of home base mechanic or support or combat maneuver. In Chrono Cross, even when characters do help out in some way, most of the time it's only prior to being playable.
      Also doesn't help you only have 2 and sometimes only 1 party slot you can choose to fill. The Suikoden series's large party size lets you make more interesting combinations of characters tagging along in battle. Thar possibly even lets you take that one novelty character you really like without issue. If you can't and/or never do use characters in the main gameplay of a game, it's harder to form a connection with them. Like, all of these good points you make would be valid to a lot more people if Chrono Cross wasn't a Turn Based RPG, such as if it were still a visual novel like Radical Dreamers where simply helping out without being the main heroes would be more impactful. Half the characters you can recruit are treated more in line with the significance of what you can loot from a treasure chest in Chrono Cross.

      i do agree that many characters are lackluster in gameplay diferences. and this is something i would love if it was more interesting.
      but lets not kid ourselves here, the game already gives alot of power to the player, and, like i said, the idea is for you to pick your favorites. there are enough characters with unique traits/abilities.

  • @justinwhite2725

    Whats interesing about Chrono Cross is that the elements are polar opposites - not paper rock scissors.
    If you bring a yellow guy to counter a green guy your yellow guy is also weak to green.

    • @bigtimetimmyjim6486
      @bigtimetimmyjim6486 Před 5 měsíci +1

      This is true, although there is a way around it. The Turn [Color] elements only modify the offensive type of a character/enemy, NOT their defensive type (and I believe it is a bug because it directly contrasts with Solt's tutorial). For example, if I use TurnRed on Serge, he will do extra damage to blue element characters, but still be weak to only black element attacks. Thus, using it on an enemy is a defensive tool (you have a white innate team against Black Dragon and you use TurnRed on it to avoid being clobbered).

    Oh a Chrono Cross color run! Nice!
    I see that we don't use exactly the same rules. Mine are:
    - Relief Charm hacked in
    - you cannot allocate elements of other colors, ever. Sell them!
    - you can use consumables of any color outside of combat
    - characters can use their special techs regardless of color
    - Sprigg can only Doppelgang into enemies of said color
    - Kid does not care about your rules and will use the red elements on her initial grid
    - you must recruit as much characters of said color as possible and avoid recruiting characters of other colors (Razzly is an exception). No Zappa on non-red run!
    - your party must consist of characters of the correct color (exception: Hydra boss, and Royal Jelly because it's immune to anything but red), you can bring in a character of another color for a dual/triple tech of the correct color (ex: Nikki in a red run for Luxator)
    - never 'retire' characters of the correct color, keep swapping them around, get their mini levels (in Terra Tower for example, they must all contribute to at least one boss).
    - when you don't have enough characters of said color, you can use characters of other colors, temporarily (Ex: Serge at the beginning of the game.) It's better if they have some affinity with your color (ex: Harle in a white run)
    - you are free to continue using Sprigg even after you have a full party of the correct color
    - you are free to use Pip and turn him into your color if you want, I usually don't bother
    - you can use any monsters you want in the Grand Slam, regardless of color
    That being said, you started with the most difficult color run in my opinion.
    I am surprised you did not use Sneff and his 991 HPs for Garai/Highwayman/Miguel, it's barely enough to survive the onslaught but that's about the only ace you've got at that point. It's also easy to set up with the Energizer Suit.

    Am I the only one who knows this trick to Time Devourer?
    Once you damage him enough, he'll cast a yellow element. Once that happens, it signals that it is time to start prepping the Chrono Cross. This will happen whether or not you have the CC in your possession or equipped to Serge.
    Basically he will help you cast the correct order of elements for the CC to be active (Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Black, White). Once you get that order set up (once the white element is cast), Time Devourer will literally do nothing for the rest of the battle (unless a new element is cast, breaking the cycle), allowing you to just pummel away at him until he dies. I use this strat ALL THE TIME when getting new endings on New Game Plus. So if you do any future single element only runs, if you stop casting any elements once he casts a yellow element and manage to survive to White, you've basically won the fight.

      But at the same time if it uses any blue innates your 100% screwed those can cause the Frozen Status nearly 100% of the time and even on a SOLO run that's a game over as soon as it happens theirs NO accessories in game that can null the Frozen status BESIDES the Sapphire/Blue Brooch used to have Orlha to FORCE her to join the party and you LOSE that accessory at the START of a NG+ run.
      Also if you don't use a BLACK element yourself it may KILL the ENTIRE party with Black Hole if its not going to use Omega black on that turn same with its White innate it will either use Omega White or attempt to KILL Everyone with Ultra Nova.
      BEFORE TD uses any OTHER elements steal the Green Plate off of the respective Dragon boss give it to Lynx/Serge along with the POISON null accessory and at least he can't die UNTIL it loses at least half of its HP it ONLY uses Tornado Omega Green and Carnivore all 3 are Green moves BUT even if you ABSORB the damage with ANY of the stolen Plate armors the status effects they use still work.
      So theirs really no way to null the Frozen status Deluge causes or even when it uses Omega Blue which can still cause it same with Black Hole even a Black Plate users can still DIE from its random instant kill effects.
      As for the TD even though once it starts to use the Yellow Elements it tends to screw up its order UNTIL its down to its last 25% HP meaning it tends to use Yellow Red then BLUE NOT green against you after it loses 50% of its HP in that order it only starts to use the Correct order once its down to 25% of its HP left.
      Vigora Blue element only though its a MISSABLE one when set to a LV 8 slot Fargo and used on Serge I could use all 6 elements in the correct sequence using Serge's turn as long as you use 6x LV 1 elements only the elements for the CC sequence only matter in elemental order they don't HAVE to do ANY damage in order to make sure TD never attacks you for the rest of the fight.

      @@veghesther3204 Yeah, Frozen and Black Hole can mess you up, especially in a solo run (like getting the Dev Room ending with Serge solo). Usually I try to use a blue and black element so TD doesn't. Still, frozen or instant death from black hole aren't guaranteed to hit. And in a party of 2 or 3, it's not likely going to wipe you. Even if it does, chalk it up to bad RNG and try again.

    we need more chrono cross challenges and general content. Also, slight correction on the speed up/speed down function; it was in the original game too, but the remaster makes it available on a new game. In the original it was locked behind NG+, much like the item that lets you swap out serge in both versions.

    Nice to see a new challenge!
    Did they ever fix the input lag issue, or is that why you're accidentally running away sometimes?
    I haven't played since a couple months after release, I remember it being a big problem on both Steam and Switch

    • @tantacles

    My boy cat has pretty much always been chill with cuddles and hugs, and will even jump on my back when I'm reaching for stuff in the fridge because he wants a ride. My girl cat will go full murderhobo if she so much as sets one paw off the ground, and has surprisingly powerful limbs and sharp claws to deter hugging. But after years of patience and diligence, I can now hug her for like five seconds before she gets clawsy. Progress!

  • @AxelRyman
    @AxelRyman Před 5 měsíci

    Interesting run. I've thought about doing something like Worst Character from each element (Use a code/mod to get all characters + the item to take out Serge in battle), but this idea actually is pretty interesting. Might try this myself.

    • @tantacles

      Arch devil pip might of been a better choice end game than norris, his attacks should be better with more attack and defense and health than him (he loses in .1 stamina recovery, mdef and accuracy(95% to 99%). It would be a long grind for it though, as you can't use him for 120 elements iirc. And if your on PC, pips elements and stat glitch is patched out So it's a good one to use if you want a 3rd solid character next time with Pip

  • @Kyronea
    @Kyronea Před 4 měsíci

    I'm sure you know this, but the Time Devourer used Omega Yellow when it did because you were inadvertently starting to set up the Chrono Cross pattern, and its moveset is programmed to try and counter that from happening since that's supposed to be the official way you defeat it. Defeating in pure battle is a bad ending, technically.
    BUT IT STILL COUNTS. This challenge was fun to watch, as are all of yours, but this one especially was interesting as it taught me a few nuances about the game I hadn't quite realized, combat wise, owing to me being much more into knowing the lore of it than actually playing it, as a long time Chrono series fan. (One day they'll make a third game... one day...)

  • @Rusty_Katana
    @Rusty_Katana Před 5 měsíci

    Congrats on achieving this! It mustn’t be easy tho 😅
    I think that a Red innate only run’s gonna be harder because there’s only the Tablet consumable for healing at the beginning and it heals even weaker than the Capsules. The only other method of healing would be to use Orcha’s lv3 tech spell, as it’s the only Red innate party heal. You will also lack the Hi Res and NegatePhysical spells.
    Blue, Green and White only runs will be easier overall, as you can equip some good heal spells.
    Black only run is gonna be rather hard until you can buy Nostrums, but that’s quite late in the game so until that point, i don’t think there’s any option to heal so this might be even harder than Red/Yellow..

    @Magus12000BC Před 5 měsíci +1

    It's worth noting that you're playing the remaster. A good deal of the bosses have been nerfed. Sonofagun, Bunyip, and Miguel are the ones that stood out the most to me. The original PS1 version is a fair deal harder.

  • @twelfthknight
    @twelfthknight Před 5 měsíci

    Now that you mention it, I can't think of a JRPG I've played where you actually buy your boat/airship/submarine/spaceship/timeship. They pretty much all run on One Piece logic -- if you need a transport, there's most definitely someone around who you can get you one, you just haven't looked hard enough for their quest chain yet.

    • @veghesther3204
      @veghesther3204 Před 5 měsíci

      I can't either but Eternia/Tales of Destiny 2 PS1 US has UPGRADEs for its ship/boat but those DO cost you the games in game gauld/money FOR those with the CHEAPEST ones needing 300,000 of it the Teleport upgrade for it in Eternia is useless for 2 reasons 1 it costs a little OVER 1 million for it and the Teleport upgrade isn't even buyable until AFTER the games FINAL dungeon shows up making its 1.8 million cost not worth it.
      Also Max's GUN weapons cost also Gauld for it at least another 1 million in total for his FINAL weapon + the games Arena battles also required to pay for it but are SOLO Reid only battles.

  • @Atou_Mahogany

    given the number of party members, this one would like to suggest an additional rule/sub-challenge for future CC runs; Collect as many party members as possible
    Also rotate through mutually exclusive recruits for each run just for variety(for example, Pierre one time, Guile the next, etc). Assuming it wouldn't actively harm the run.

  • @veghesther3204
    @veghesther3204 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Speaking of Yellow users IMHO the hardest boss to KILL BEFORE you control Lynx on a Yellow Innate run will IMHO NOT be the Hydra boss that absorbs its damage but the GREEN Switch Fort Dragonia boss since it counters ALL Yellow moves with Heal all BUT when IT uses heal all its going to restore that bosses HP by like 150 to 200 damage on a FIRST run I had any Yellow Element do LESS damage then the HP amount heal all restores.
    So for a Yellow Innate run its best to not attack the Green Switch boss with Yellow Elements if Heal all will outheal its damage.

    Seemingly, the easiest 2 would be Green (since you can use Heal All to heal) and White (since you can use Serge and Starky while Lynx and have both Recover All and Holy Healing)
