Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition

[Andrew NDB]

Woo-hoo! Finally "Chrono Cross" gets some love.



And goodness gracious... what a story this game has. So much to it. If you asked me right now to explain it all to you I couldn't even do it. A real mind-f***.

Hopefully this moves the meter enough to get Chrono Trigger 3 moving, finally.

This is the third Chrono Trigger game. Chrono Trigger, Radical Dreamers (which is included in this) then Chrono Cross which is somehow linked directly back to Radical Dreamers.

When it came out I was very meh about it. I played it to a certain point where you meet certain people who tell you a certain thing....I was so annoyed because of how much I loved trigger that I almost didnt finish it the first or second time along with Secret boss strat.

Radical Dreamers isn't much of anything. Most of the story elements in it were reconfigured and put into Chrono Cross. Radical Dreamers isn't like a missing story or something. It's just... an interesting historical footnote. Like, an early rough draft synopsis of what Chrono Cross would be.

Yeah, I just DLed the steam version and I'm pretty happy with it. Yeah, it appears to include all the cutscenes and added dungeons from the DS version while looking way better. Refined music, even. They even accomplish wide-screen without screwing up the pixels. There is a "high quality" mode for graphics that kind of smooth out the pixels that makes things look moderately better on a bigger TV.
