Incredible how much creativity, effort and detail went into the design of Chrono Cross. Seeing these 300 backgrounds by themselves makes me realize how much work went into making a coherent and cohesive game. If only Square would go back to their PSX era RPG's and learn that being beautiful is not about how realistic the graphics are but about artistic vision and talent. I would argue a game like FF7 has more artistic vision than FF15.
I wonder if there is a similar background pack for FF7.
If they could still be combination of 3D and painting each scene from set camera paths, I'm sure it would be cheaper than trying to create one continuous world or trying to make coherent cityscapes from one piece.I'd love for someone to make a full length RPG using backgrounds in this art style but with today's technology. It'd probably be really expensive, though
The best part about FFVIII was the FMV-to-prerendered transitions. I think there was even a few gameplay sequences that had FMV directly playing in the background.
I always felt Chrono Cross was hamstrung by it's connection to Chrono Trigger. Treat the game as it's own entity and you have one of the best JRPG's the Playstation has to offer.
These images are like a visual representation of Square at the peak of their most creative and prolific era.
Worked for me last night on PC and now tried it on phone and still works... What's the issue on your end?The bulk download link doesn't work for me. Anyone having the same issue or a solution?

I would be interested in seeing more sequels like Chrono Cross that seem only vaguely attached to the previous entry at first, but in reality everything is connected.
Thanks, looking for the library with the crashed Epoch right now.
out of curiosity, does anyone know which key-essential individuals from the dev team would need to be brought back together to make a 'chrono break' even remotely possible?
By the way
^Fuck this room.
Strange to see a new thread about this, these bg rips have existed and out there on the web for years at this point. Still, seeing people reminisce about Chrono Cross and the era of top-tier 2D backgrounds is always a good excuse for a thread.

Only ones I can think of are Mother 3 and Doom 2016. Would definitely love to see more.

I remember ripping some of these images and the FMVs with PSMplay or something like that, years ago.Strange to see a new thread about this, these bg rips have existed and out there on the web for years at this point.

Hello !
like you i'm a huge fan of chrono cross and i'm sad to see that the link to download all of the backgrounds is dead.
Could someone be kind and put it online again PLEASE !!
This. Honestly I don't want Chrono Cross remake because I know they'd fuck it up one way or another. I've stated many times just like you all they would need to do is upres backgrounds, upgrade character models, arenas and vfx. One would think it's easiest way to do remakes from classic jRPGs but seeing how they are treating FF7 I don't have any hope lolI wish Square would stop trying to make remakes and overcomplicate things and instead just go back and hire some badass artist to remake all the backgrounds at like 8k, and remake the character models and CG sequences. Leave the rest alone. That should be a fraction of the cost of the remake and we’d all buy it in droves.
True, true.Chrono Cross is one of the few games that evoke strong emotions from me. The game will always hold a special place in my heart, and as such, be remembered as one of the best I played.
I have mixed feelings about this game, but the backgrounds and music were stunning.
