I've failed to come up with something witty, so I hope you will enjoy this filler text instead.

That 7-10 scale thing is ridiculous anyway if you ask me.

IGN has always made a point of hating JRPGs, though. They made some kind of list with ways to improve JRPGs, but the list may as well have saved the trouble and said "make a WRPG instead lol".

I find the 7-10 scale fairly good because no game is absolutely without merit (well most at least) and I dunno if I'd agree with the JRPG hating but some reviewers do give off that vibe. I should probably go check who did it, that would give me a better idea.

I'd say it's just an improvement of FFX-2's system tbh. They just took that idea further.
I think the multiple sections of your ATB gauge is plenty enough to say it has some Chrono Cross elements in the battle system.

A 5 on a 1-10 scale wouldn't be without merit either, it would be average.

They're definitely there but I'd say that a lot of the ideas they have were first tested in FFX-2: staggering, complete active time, shit like that.

I've never played Chrono Cross because I heard it's hardly related to Chrono Trigger at all.

Chrono Cross certainly isn't Chrono Trigger 2, but they are related plot-wise, and its a good game in its own right. The main plot in Chrono Cross has to do with the after-effects of your party saving the Future in Chrono Trigger </doesn't want to spoil Chrono Cross for you>.

I guess the battle system is mostly related to FFX-2, but I only forced myself to play through that game once, and did it in the most abusive manner possible. So I guess thats why I say it more reminds me of Chrono Cross than FFX-2.

I might play it on my PSP at some point, then.

I blocked out everything from the Bayonetta topic due to the sheer wrongness of it.

I know that but I've gotten used to IGN's reviewing at this point, anyway scores don't mean as much as most people tend to think.

I think some people have just gotten tired of jrpgs. I cansorta understand since it seems like a lot more people like real time combat more than ever. :/ iono... I love te game so far so whatever. Xplay gave it a 4/5 so that's good enough for me :p
