I couldn't stand Chrono Cross, myself. Found it to be a completely unworthy sequel. It is Chrono Trigger's Xenosaga.
I never played Xenogears, so I can't say how it fares compared to FFVII, but FFVII has been my favorite RPG since 2001. Why, you ask? The kickass storyline, the memorable characters, the awesome soundtrack, the gorgeous yet depressing atmosphere, and the fairly decent battle system (I wouldn't call it perfect, but it's not bad). A PS3 remake would be nice for improving the graphics. That's about all that was wrong with the game, and even then, graphics aren't that important (and they were good by 1997's standards).
As for what I'm playing right now, I recently got Pokémon HeartGold and my girlfriend got SoulSilver, so that's consuming most of my playtime lately. I am not ashamed!
