Hmm guess I'm in the minority on this one. Ok to explain my reasoning. I do love them both, but in my mind Chrono Cross is a little better. I loved the magic system in Chrono Cross: being able to use spells once a battle (unless multiple copies of the spell are equipped), I also loved the concept of consumable spells (ala FFVIII) as well as being able to use any healing spells left over to heal after each battle. I also liked the percentage strike system, not sure why but it seemed a little better than just simply choosing attack then choosing a target. What really blew my mind about Chrono Cross was the detail they put into the script. There were 100+ characters, but each character had something to say and it was written in a dialect that matched the characters personality. It was fun to play around with the characters to see how the script differs depending on what characters you had in your party as well as when they were in the party. There, those are my reasons that Chrono Cross stands out more to me, keep in mind that I do love Chrono Trigger, I just think Chrono Cross is slighty better, so don't flame me or anything 
And yes, w07 go play them asap they are both classics that define what rpgs should be.
@ EstablishGeezer I'm pretty sure it was Chrono Trigger, I remember playing it but not sure what computer it was on so I'm not gonna bother looking for it. Also speaking of SC thats where I started using EsN_Fish as my name for everything internet related
