Chrono Cross Ultimania
Chrono Cross Ultimania クロノ・クロス アルティマニア (kurono kurosu arutimania?) is the authoritative guide book on Chrono Cross, released exclusively in Japan by DigiCube, the company who also handled Squaresoft's merchandise at the time of Chrono Cross' release. Ultimania is essentially both a strategy guide for Chrono Cross as a video game, featuring information on equipment stats, party member recruitment conditions, and so on; as well as a "general" guide on a very wide amount of peripheral elements concerning Chrono Cross, ranging from developer interviews, to artwork, to plot analysis concerning both Chrono Cross's plot as well as its connections to Chrono Trigger.
While it is considered an official, authoritative resource, it is worth noting that some of the plot information provided in this book conflicts with information Masato Kato (the director of Chrono Cross and main script writer for Chrono Trigger) has provided, so not all of the information provided in Ultimania can necessarily be treated as canonical.
