    I love taking Leena around from beginning to end. I wish Chrono Cross explored her relationship with Serge a bit more. The possibility of her developing feelings for an alternate universe version of the childhood friend she never had -- and an innate competitiveness and jealousy she'd subsequently feel against Home Universe's Leena -- would have been interesting topics to explore.

    @@alfredobelloni3258 I would say it's much more than a fan theory. It makes complete sense. Crono's hair. Marle's eyes. Insanely strong magic. A birth year of 1004, making Crono and Marle around 20 when she's born. Guardia sacked. Miguel a god-tier swordsman who seems to know everything when you meet him. Una looking nothing like Leena. No trace of Marle at all, suggesting she didn't survive Guardia's sacking. (Dalton kills Marle with the Masamune, which causes the weapon to become cursed.) As far as I'm concerned, it's as good as canon since it fits together so well. Likely the only reason this wasn't written into the story was because they wanted EVERYTHING to revolve around Serge, and a storyarc about an exiled princess, even if she wasn't the main character, would have felt too trope. If so, it was a massive missed opportunity. People love the world of Chrono because of its rich ensemble of interesting characters (a bit too many in the case of Cross). Consider a situation where the only way to break the curse on the Masamune is for the right person to forgive the spirits who were forced to commit murder, and who better than the child of the person who died? Also consider that Leena would certainly take pity on child-spirits and would want to protect them from any further harm. What if LEENA was the character who ultimately ends up with the Masamune instead of Serge? Would this undermine Serge's story or complement it? It is shown at the beginning and end of Chrono Cross that Serge and Leena's relationship, if not exactly romantic, is kind of a big deal, so both characters should be people of some importance to the overall mythos. Leena's elevation in the story would also elevate the importance of Crono and Marle's love in Trigger. I could go on and on about this. (Hint: I take these ideas seriously enough that I might be able to influence some creative decisions if the Chrono series gets a proper remake or gets the movie treatment like several other game franchises have.)

Cool to find another Resonant Arc fan, too. I definitely agree with most in low and Sh*t teir, however I wish Razzly and Norris were higher... but I don't generally use them after Serge returns; So, I guess fair.

    @@Lennis01 Speech patterns have nothing to do with character development unless if a situation causes them to change it (I.e.,if a character originally begins speaking irregularly/using slang then changed to proper that is ascension/development while the opposite is regression) and is usually used for comedic relief or advancement in plot. Compared? Or in tandem? Cross is another sequel to trigger since the original world,Radical Dreamers,is directly parallel to trigger’s events. Underwhelming? What was underwhelming about them? Everyone had their own purpose,their own story,some ambition even if they didn’t know it in the beginning. They went through their challenges along with Serge and company and relate back to each other and they all contributed in the end. Nothing is underwhelming about that. Rushed? Well,o don’t think a game with 40+ playable characters could be rushed. It’s budget was high from trigger so budgeting has nothing to do with it,just another way to tell a story,which is the whole premise to cross. It doesn’t follow traditional methods or themes which was its entire scope. That is why they decided for the recruitment of Glenn for not helping Kid when you are scared out of your mind from having to save a girl you don’t know well enough who pulls you into breaking into a mansion full of guards throwing stones at you while you hang on cliffs just to get into the god-forsaken mansion of terror!

    I love the Chrono Cross content! Very cool RPG and dear to me. I feel like playing the game with the Relief Charm hacked in from the start is practically mandatory, because otherwise you only have two slots with which to make use of the other 40+ characters. Also, Serge is OP and steamrolls the game. Especially because in this game, stat gains are scaled up with actual use. Anyway, awesome list man. When I saw Pip, I knew this video would either be good or shit depending on if you mentioned that the mechanics are broken. So you know your stuff, which surprised me.

    I loved this video, though it was a little eye-opening that I probably wasn't playing this game super optimally when I played it for the first time a few years back. Pip, Poshul, Sprigg, Mojo... Not only were those characters I used in my playthrough, but they were some of my personal favorites to use in the game. Heck, Poshul was even in the team I beat the final boss with alongside Radius and Serge. I'm not sure why I was so drawn to such bad characters. Maybe I enjoy a challenge? Maybe I heard they were bad and wanted to prove people wrong? Maybe I just liked how weird some of them were? But I guess it doesn't really matter because this is certainly the kind of game you can still have a lot of fun playing with a sub-optimal team, and it's kind of a testament to how well designed it is that you're able to do so!

    I rank some chracters a little higher than you did and here's why: - Pip, 1 tier above: Stat wise he isn't great, but the ability to choose what he evolves into (demon = physical oriented, angel = magic oriented) and the fact that you can make him become any innate you want makes it some kind of "wild card" chracter that you can build however you want. - Sneff an Van, 1 tier above: if you're feeling lucky, try out these guys. I once used HPShuffle and suddently he had around 800 HP while everyone was at like 250 HP XD. Van's level 5 tech is basically a "X Field" of a random color. If you get lucky, you can pull out summons quiclky. If the other two characters are of different colors, there's a 1 in 3 chance he picks a good one. Not too bad for early on, I think it's worth a shot. - Sprigg, 1 tier higher: some of Sprigg's monsters have access to elements you don't get for a long time (example: the TotalChaos with an early BlackHole) plus, changing from and changing back refreshes the elements. She's the one character who, theoretically, has an infinite supply of elements. - Janice, 1 or 2 tier higher (and not because she's my favorite): I agree that her stats are bad for a caster and that's why you give her buffs and "TurnX" elements! Make her you support and you won't regret it! She can only equip carrots of which there's only two in the game, one she starts with, the other is in the final dugeon. This means that 1) She starts with her second strongest weapon and 2) Her final weapon can be FOUND instead of crafted so no BS in farming Shiny materials. Don't like Janice? Disassemble that Betta Carotene for an extra Rainbow Shell! Also, she can get her lv7 tech as soon as she joins (she can't equip it until Star Level 30 though) - Draggy, 1 tier higher: build him on Stamina Recovery and he can hit 19 recovery! He recovers so fast I use him during the Dario fight and stun-lock the boss. He's a furious caster! - Norris, 1 tier higher: give him Starky's gun found in Arni and he starts melting enemies. Apply Strengthen and Eagle Eye (along with a Turn X element maybe) and watch the damage. Later on, there are better characters, however, and he starts to lag behind a little. But early on, man he's good!

    There is a difference with Serge and Lynx. Lynx final tech hits all foes Serge's hits one. The game is harder in the first playthrough with New Game+ being too easy. That being said Guile not having a meaningful grid until new game plus puts him in mid tier or upper low tier for not being powerful when it counts. As far as Red Innates are concerned Macha is actually the best overall from a stat perspective or at least tied with Miki and Draggy overall. Sprigg should be top tier because getting powerful Dopples like Taurminator, Gurgoyle, and Wight Knight make Garai and Miguel the two hardest bosses easier. Meaning she is powerful when it counts also she starts with Lagoonate which is more powerful than Lynx with Silver Swallow. Spriggan is also the key character needed to perform the Cuscus element trap trick for level 5 and 6 elements like Carnivore, Black Hole, Thunda Storm etc immediately after being in Lynx form. Draggy gets his level 7 tech earlier than most making him awesome besides Harle making him great.

Best end game imo is Serge/Glenn/Orhla but literally its Serge/Glenn and flex tbh Leena may be better than Orhla but you can easily breeze through with out her broken techs.

    9:00 did you just call Guile "gwee-low?" its guile, like street fighter, hes mysterious and he has guile, hence his name. Otherwise you graded them exactly how i would have. I hold Fargo in alittle higher esteem..His grid isnt THAT bad, He can steal from enemies and his Invincible skill is prolly the hardest hitting in the game (if used against opposite elem of course) When Harle joins Linx, its never good idea to have 2 black elem characters, IMO Glen is much more useful then Harle. Shes also not a perm character so if you invest in her and grow to love her..she just leaves, meaning you will always have to find a sub for her when she leaves. My perfect team was always: Serge, Leena Glenn, otherwise great vid man!

    Van is an amazing character and probably one of the best in the game. His physical attack that damages all enemies is incredibly powerful, especially when combined with the fact that buffs (like hawkeye) on 1 stamina have the effect as buffs on max stamina. He and Guile (for similar reasons) will absolutely demolish most of the game.

Then later, just trap some earthquakes in Hydra Marsh, and by the time you get to Fort Dragonia MF and you're basically wiping entire battles with 1 element

    Rather solid list and won't pretend to consider (e.g.) stamina recovery, as I tend to consider how much the character is developed and their specific uses when you need them. Besides crucial techs, the grid size is far more important to me. In general, I find the yellow innates the worst and the greens the most flexible. I won't comment on all of them, but the "God Tier" should include at least one of each color if arguably of merit and all of the most important characters if justifiable: Trash Tier: Pip, Sneff; Korcha; Doc (Not my preferred story branch and better white options); Pierre; Guile (Inverted grid is too much a liability most of the game); Greco; Orlha (Late recruit far outclassed by other blue options) Low Tier: Poshul (Being the first recruit who helps through the very early game keeps her out of the trash tier); Van (Can attack multiple foes and lvl 5 tech :WetPaint" can be fun to experiment with); Glenn (Ranking low solely due to having to take worse story path to get him and there's not a material drop by going with Karsh as a green) Mid Tier: NeoFio (I recall good techs and large grid); Leah (Likely the strongest yellow but comes late in game); Marcy (Irritating character that I never used, so this is a rank based on reputation); Leena (Only this high for special techs with high value in final boss battle) Top Tier: Mel (Theft tech always a plus and can attack multiple foes. Gets up-tiered relative to other yellows.); Sprigg (Unique and can be leveraged to trap lvl 5-6 skills and even duplicate summons); Kid (Loss of availability keeps from God Tier); Nikki (My preferred story branch and is involved in more story elements. He also has a lvl 6 slot available to trap Iceberg before the transformation.); Harle (Love her but availability only during mid-game costs a rank) God Tier: Serge/Lynx; Karsh (Best all around green available regardless of story branch); Fargo (Best all around blue with crucial theft tech to steal colored plates); Starky (Best usually available general white other than Serge)

    Guile definitely isn't low tier. Even in the early game he's incredibly strong, with Wanda In one shotting most enemies when you recruit him. Considering you can always have the other two party members supplement him, and also considering you can't even use him for about half of the game, I think his element grid ends up being a boon more than a liability. The moment you regain Serge, Guile's already perfectly poised to steamroll the late game. Guile is easily the 3rd best black innate, and considering #1 and #2 are Harle and Lynx, (who both eventually leave the party) you could make the argument for Guile being the best black innate in the game.
