My favourite new addition to the game was the ability to fast forward even though you can run in CHRONO CROSS it still felt like the characters were moving quite slow at any point. Battle Boost - if you still want to fight but want a more laid-back experience this will give you an edge on the enemy making the fights a lot easier to get through.At any point in the battle you can take over the control and finish the rest of the battle. Auto Battle mode - you can have your team fight and make decisions all on their own while you sit back and watch.No Random Battle Function - if you just want to go through the game and enjoy the story, you can turn off enemy encounters.One of the biggest changes to the game was changes to the battle system, besides quality of life improvements you have a variety of other options including: I also appreciated that the music that plays when you win a fight is just like the music that you would hear in CHRONO TRIGGER. The intro music and the battle music are my favourites. These settings can be changed any time you play the game by going into the video options on the main menu, while here you can also change the aspect ratio to original aspect ratio, full mode, or zoom in.īesides just the look of the game you can also switch between the original soundtrack or use the new refined soundtrack both sound great so either way you will be happy. This isn’t a huge remaster of the game, just an update so everything doesn’t look drastically different - if you want to experience the game the way it was released you can still have the nostalgic feel of the original. The new version has updated 3D character models, made the fonts in the game more crisp (making it easier to read), and there are new illustrations for the people you meet on your journey. Since the game came out 23 years ago, the graphics might not hold up well for some people, so you have the option to toggle between the original version of the game or the new updated version. I don’t want to spoil anything that happens in the game, especially if you have never had a chance to play CHRONO CROSS in the past, so instead I will talk about all the changes and improvements that have been implemented for this new release. The games share a few elements with CHRONO TRIGGER - if you have previously played it or if you have played CHRONO CROSS you will know some of the characters already. You don’t have to play THE RADICAL DREAMERS before you try out CHRONO CROSS, though you will learn more about the characters and their relationships with each other I found it to be very interesting and a lot darker than I had anticipated. So this brings both The Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross together for the first time outside of Japan. Chrono Cross was not a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger but takes place in the same world and was released on the PlayStation in 1999. 26 years later the game is now included with the release of CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION. The game never saw a wide commercial release and was never released outside of Japan, but the ROM was put online allowing for an English fan translation to be made for players to enjoy. THE RADICAL DREAMERS was a text-based visual novel adventure game, not a traditional role-playing game like the other entry in the Chrono Trigger series, due to the limitations of the download service. This was a shorter game that was only released for the Satellaview, an addition to the Super Famicom which allowed players to download games, although it was only available to residents in Japan. After its success, Square followed up with a side story called Radical Dreamers in 1996. In the past, Square (or Square Enix) released a ton of great JRPGs for the Super Nintendo, with one of them being CHRONO TRIGGER this title ended up being one of my favourite games on the system.
