No, because Cross was a seed of potential. What we need is to retcon the links from Trigger to Cross made in the DSmake and actually go back and fix Cross up a bit, flesh out the story, fix a few glaring errors, and clean things up so that the cast of Trigger wasn't all nonsensically killed off-screen for no good reason.

I mean, they can still all be killed, but it really should MEAN something. Make Guile Magus as intended and have him comment on things from that perspective, and give the former cast the heroic deaths they deserve, if they end up dying at all (like, the only requirements are actually Lucca and Robo for the sake of Cross' actual plot, and you could easily make it forgivable by treating it with due reverence).

Or, better yet, make that the point of Chrono Break. Cross showed that the past can easily be changed. Have the protagonists of Break go back in time and fix the problems in Cross. I think that Serge getting the power to go do that would actually be pretty cool, and then you could have the old guard return, as well. Just pick out the best few characters from Cross to take with you to combine with the cast of Trigger and off you go.
