Matching All 45 U.S. Presidents To All 45 Chrono Cross Party Members

45 presidents have served the United States of America. Chrono Cross offers 45 characters that you can use to recruit party members. Despite existing in different realities, our commanders-in-chief share some staggering similarities with the denizens of the classic PlayStation RPG – including their hobbies, mannerisms, and physical appearances. What pairings do you prefer?

We don’t need to keep explaining how this works; you’re probably sick of seeing “Which president approximately equals which Chrono Cross character” lists all over the internet by now, but we’ll try to throw in some nontraditional picks to surprise you. This is going to be a complete explanation.

01. George Washington = Child
George Washington would be the person you choose to portray the idea of President of United States. Kid is Chronocross’s face. Even though she’s not technically the protagonist, she is at the center of the story, and that visual of her on the beach is the first image that comes to many players’ minds when they think of the game.

02. John Adams = Leena
Leena is a “sweet girl next to” archetype. That means her identity is tied to a particular residence (or proximity to one) – just like John Adams! Since he was the first President to reside in the White House for his official residence, he has been associated with the White House since then.

03. Thomas Jefferson = Luccia
People don’t call you “Father of the Declaration of Independence” or “The Sage of Monticello” if you’re an idiot. Thomas Jefferson was a brillant man so he should be matched with the intelligentst Chrono Cross character: the brilliant scientist Luccia. She creates her own experimental forms of life.

04. James Madison = Razzly
Standing 5’ 4” and weighing about 100 pounds, James Madison is the shortest and lightest president. Razzly is 3’ 7” and 11 pounds, which also makes her exceptionally short and light. Plus, since she’s a fairy and probably glows and/sparkles, she’s got another version of “light” going for her.

05. James Monroe = Harle
Apart from her outfit and makeup, Harle’s defining characteristic is her dialect, which has a heavy French influence. This is an ideal match because James Monroe, a French diplomat who lived in Paris, was fluent in French for some time. le paradis.

06. John Quincy Adams = The Viper
It is amazing to see the resemblance. Chrono Cross deals with alternate dimensions and stuff. John Quincy Adams is likely to be a different version of General Viper.

07. Andrew Jackson = Glenn
Glenn is a master swordsman. He’s known for being able to use the legendary Einlanzer. Actually, Glenn can DUAL-wield two different versions of the sword! Andrew Jackson is also known for his DUEL-wielding skills. He famously shot Charles Dickinson, an attorney.

08. Martin Van Buren = Guile
For his acumen in navigating the political landscape, Martin Van Buren earned the nickname “Little Magician.” So, the leap to Guile’s title (“Actual Magician”) isn’t a stretch at all.

09. William Henry Harrison = Skely
William Henry Harrison, the shortest president in modern history, is well-known for his one thing. He died a month following his inauguration. Skelly, a circus performer now dead, continues to exist in animated skeleton form. This makes him macabre and apt for a man who is defined only by his death.

10. John Tyler = Van
Recite every detail you have about President John Tyler. Recite all you can about Van, his story in Chrono cross. Do you feel satisfied? These figures are all the same, so you’re done.

11. James K. Polk = Mel
Mel isn’t particularly powerful or important; her most notable characteristic is the fact that she is 10 years old. While no presidents have ever held office at such young ages, James K. Polk earned the nickname “Young Hickory,” which was close enough.

12. Zachary Taylor = Orcha
It was too late to research Zachary Taylor or do some research into his life, so we just began rearranging letters. That eventually gave us: “Lazy? Try a Orcha!” So there you have it. He’s a Orcha.

13. Millard Fillmore = Macha
People who love Chronocross/president can think of dozens more ways that these fan-favoites connect. We’re going to skip all of those obvious ones, instead going with the fact they both have two children – one male and one female. Fillmore was Mary, Millard and Macha. Macha is home to Mel and Korcha.

14. Steena = Franklin Pierce
For religious reasons, Franklin Pierce was the only president to “affirm” rather than “swear” the oath of office. Steena, who was raised in a shrine maiden home and is a scholar of prophesies, is also a committed Christian. Or, hey, if that doesn’t do it for you: His last name is “Pierce” and Steena’s weapon is a sword.

15. James Buchanan = Draggy
Did you know James Buchanan, the president of America was a bachelor for his entire life? It’s true. It’s true. Did you also know Draggy, the last dragon surviving, will not find a partner, causing him to live a lonely life. This is also true.

16. Abraham Lincoln = Orlha
Orlha and Abraham Lincoln are connected by a bond that joins many companions: alcohol – specifically, the ability to serve it. Orlha, the Guldove bartender, is Lincoln’s co-owner of a New Salem licensed tavern that sells liquor.

17. Andrew Johnson = Pierre
Pierre is an aspiring hero, but he’s in a game that’s practically bursting with heroic figures. Pierre is constantly overshadowed by the accomplishments of others – a feeling that may have been familiar to Andrew Johnson, the president who succeeded Abraham Lincoln.

18. Ulysses S. Grant = Zappa
Zappa’s younger years were spent as a formidable warrior, before he became the more tranquil life of a blacksmith. Ulysses S. Grant served as the Commanding General for the Union Army in the Civil War. However, after his combat days, Zappa turned to politics over hot metal.

19. Rutherford B. Hayes = Fargo
North Dakota wasn’t a state yet in 1878, but that year Rutherford B. Hayes made the first presidential visit to the town called Fargo – so he gets paired up with the pirate called Fargo.

20. James Garfield = Lynx
Lynx can be described as a feline demihuman. James Garfield was an adult human. Garfield shares a part of his name, however, with a cartoon cat. The connection between Garfield and Garfield is just too adorable to ignore.

21. Chester Arthur = Karsh
In Chrono Cross, characters have “innate” colors, which determines their elemental aptitudes and vulnerabilities. Karsh, President Chester Arthur and even President Chester Arthur are both innate green (although some historians disagree on this point).

22. (and 24.) Grover Cleveland = Serge
Keep in mind that Grover Cleveland was the first president to hold non-consecutive offices. After some time, he returned to be our 24th President. Serge is the main character in Chrono Cross. He swaps into Lynx’s body for a while somewhere in the middle, but then his true form returns – a non-consecutive party leader!

23. Benjamin Harrison = Radius
Nothing says “I am experienced and in charge” like a full, white beard. Radius, Harrison and others discovered that thick white hair can make your opinion seem smarter.

25. William McKinley = Zoah
Denali, a mountain located in Alaska’s Denali, is now officially known as Mt. McKinley was named in honor of the president. Zoah, with his tall stature and burly body is a mountain man.

26. Greco by Theodore Roosevelt
Greco was a professional wrestler and this sport was also loved by Theodore Roosevelt. He didn’t have psychic powers like Greco (probably), but Roosevelt was known to train with wrestling champions to enhance his athletic prowess.

27. William Taft = Irenes
William Taft, who was large and rumoredly to have fallen into a White House tub bathtub, was not only a man of great stature. If true, and if he somehow hadn’t been dislodged, Tub-Taft would have spent his life submerged in water, just like the mermaid Irenes.

28. Woodrow Wilson = Doc
Woodrow Wilson has the distinction of being the first president to hold a doctorate, unlike many other well-educated leaders. He obtained a Ph.D from Johns Hopkins University, which means he’s the only president we can call “doc.”

29. Warren G. Harding = Miki
Warren G. Harding has been associated with scandal from Teapot Dome to extramarital affairs. Miki is a ballet dancer. Some people might find this scandalous depending on how the dance was performed.

30. Calvin Coolidge = Riddel
Riddel is reserved and quiet, which contrasts with the presidential charisma. Calvin Coolidge, however, was famously reserved, which earned him the nickname, “Silent Cal.”

31. Herbert Hoover = Poshul
Poshul is annoying and a talking dog. Nobody enjoys watching him on screen. Herbert Hoover is a President who was just as hated during his lifetime. He was in office during Great Depression, which didn’t endear him to the American public.

32. Franklin Delano Roosevelt = Pip
Pip, a unique ally that evolves based on how it interacts with spells, is not common. There’s a catch. The catch? You must spend some time with him within your party. FDR has the most time-sharing records of any president. FDR was elected four times consecutively (the only individual to have served more than one term) and held that position from 1933 through his death.

33. Harry Truman = The Turnip
Harry Truman, in 1948, called for the creation of a Turnip Day Session. Turnip, a turningip who somehow became alive, would probably appreciate a legislative session bearing the name his type and be able to get along with the man who established it.

34. Dwight Eisenhower = Starky
No, this isn’t another “they look similar” entry. The reason Eisenhower and Starky are two peas in a pod is this: NASA was established by Eisenhower’s signature, and Starky is alien that NASA’s endeavors might one day discover. They also look very similar.

35. John F. Kennedy = Korcha
Korcha owns a ferry and JFK loves sailing. These two sea-dogs would chat for hours on water, barnacles and any other topic that sailors discuss. Perhaps ranking the most popular fish?

36. Marcy = Lyndon B. Johnson
Marcy is known as the “Diva of the 4 Devas,” because she likes to get her way. LBJ was aware of this feeling. He used intimidation and threats as a president to make sure things were done his way.

37. Richard Nixon = Sneff
Sneff is an illusionist, but what is an “illusion”? Ultimately, it’s just a trick meant to deceive. That’s why Richard “Tricky Dick” Nixon would be a great addition to Sneff’s act – until he’s forced to resign in disgrace.

38. Gerald Ford = Norris
Norris, a military officer of high rank, must have his uniform decorated with medals. Gerald Ford had a well-adorned uniform himself – but he earned merit badges. Ford rose to the rank of Boy Scouts of America, becoming an Eagle Scout.

39. Jimmy Carter = Janice
Once, when Jimmy Carter was out fishing, a “swamp rabbit” swam toward his boat, and he shooed it away. The media latched onto the event, which became known as “The Rabbit Incident,” which is why Carter is roughly the same as Janice, a weird rabbit-lady.

40. Ronald Reagan = NeoFio
NeoFio means a flower. And everyone loves flowers. Is there a president who has done anything to advance the flower interests? Indeed! Ronald Reagan designated the rose as the nation’s flower in 1986.

41. George H.W. George H.W.
We couldn’t pick just one Chrono Cross analog for George H. W. Bush. First, he established something called the “mushroom council,” which the bizarre mushroom man Funguy undoubtedly advocates. Second, Bush popularized the phrase “voodoo economics,” which makes him the perfect fit for Mojo – a creepy, sentient, dancing voodoo doll.

42. Bill Clinton = Nikki
If you had to guess, which of these two would you say has a band called “Magical Dreamers”? Nikki the eccentric bard sporting a feather boa, or is it Bill Clinton? Or is it Bill Clinton, the guy from the ‘90s who plays the saxophone? You could be right!

43. George W. Bush = Sprigg
Sprigs and Bushes are both botany-related, so this one’s a no-brainer.

44. Barack Obama = Leah
Obamadon is a name for our 44th president. It’s a prehistoric, ancient lizard. Since Leah is a young girl from that era, it’s possible she was familiar with the animal. Perhaps she was a pet Obamadon or her parents gave her Obamadon sandwiches. President Barack Obama shares a special bond with Leah,

45. Donald Trump = Grobyc
Grobyc and Donald Trump are from different worlds – one is a business tycoon who became president, and the other is a killer cyborg. They managed to get the same hairdresser to create an unusually swoopy look despite being from different walks of their lives.
