The existence of two major [[parallel universe (fiction)|parallel dimensions]], like time periods in ''Chrono Trigger'', plays a significant role in the game. Players must go back and forth between the worlds to recruit party members, obtain items, and advance the plot. Much of the population of either world have counterparts in the other; some party members can even visit their other versions. The player must often search for items or places found exclusively in one world. Events in one dimension sometimes have an impact in the other—for instance, cooling scorched ground on an island in one world allows vegetation to grow in the other world. This system assists the presentation of certain themes, including the questioning of the importance of one's past decisions and humanity's role in destroying the environment.<ref name="ignreview">{{cite web|date=August 15, 2000 |first=David |last=Zdyrko |title=Chrono Cross Review |url=http://psx.ign.com/articles/162/162503p1.html |website=IGN |access-date=July 24, 2006 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060810021705/http://psx.ign.com/articles/162/162503p1.html |archive-date=August 10, 2006 }}</ref> Rounding out the notable facets of ''Chrono Cross''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s gameplay are the [[New Game Plus|New Game+]] option and multiple endings.
