Question about CC

[Kazuki]

Hi. After reading so much about it on the Compendium, I decided to order Chrono Cross.

I have a quick question about moving in the overworld. Is it random-battle free, similar to the system of Chrono Trigger, with the towns spread apart? Or are there random battles and the cities are all in one place a la Final Fantasy?

Thanks!

CT.  No random battles in overworld.

I don't understand what you mean by this.

Er, sorry I was a bit unclear.

In CT, there's no real transaction from, "overworld" and, "town."

Instead of going into a "town" (For example, in say, FF7, if you were interested in going into the town of Kalm, the town would be represented by a couple of houses and to enter you would go up and press X, which would bring you into the town, which would have the inns and houses etc.) In CT, you don't "enter" a town from the overworld, it's just there, spread out, and you access the stores/inns/houses FROM the overworld itself.

And thanks, Jake-A-Roonie. It's good to hear

The towns are more like ff7 and less like CT.  There's the overworld, you go into it, and from there, there's a full town to walk around in, go into shops, etc.

I see. Thanks
