Whenever I think back to playing PS1-era rpgs, I tend to just remember the Final Fantasies on that system. Truth be told, I didn't really get into many non-FF PS1 games (I played the ports of Star Ocean 1 and 2 on PSP, and rather enjoyed those, eventually). The only non-FF PS1 game I can really recall taking a great liking to during that era was Chrono Cross.

I tend to forget about it, though. Even though when I played it, I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the characters with some degree of personality, like Kid and Harle (were those the only two?) and was struck by the bitter-sweet true ending. I've got some nostalgia for memories of playing it late at night. It wasn't as good as Chrono Trigger, and it felt very different, but it was still fun for what it was.

That's how I remember it. I haven't played it in years, though. I played FF9 again in 2010, and Tactics in 2017 (phone version). Those definitely still hold up. Wonder if this would.

Did y'all like Chrono Cross, or were you too disappointed in it as a sequel to Chrono Trigger?
