On June 27, 2007, Square Enix announced that service of Cross Gate in Japan will be terminated on September 30, 2007.[1] This will not affect[needs update]Template:DMCA the servers in China, Taiwan and Korea.

Gameplay
Cross Gate uses a traditional Japanese anime style and 2D graphics system with player characters pre-rendered in 3D. The battle style is turn-based, resembling the Dragon Quest series, and players may choose to team up to a maximum of five players. There are 56 possible character choices, including 14 unique characters with four color variations. The game includes over 60 jobs and 80 unique skills.[4]
One of the distinctive features of this game is its "Creature System." Slightly similar to the Pokémon series, this game allows players to carry five creatures with them while traveling and place one creature fighting with them while battling. There is a character class specialized in catching those creatures and trading them in an open marketplace where players bid for the strongest, rarest, or cutest creatures. By assigning ability points to five different dimensions when the creature levels up, players may grow their unique creatures. There are around 200 creatures to collect.[4]
