Whatever people say, that sounds real nice.
And they truly spent more money and effort into these arrangements and music videos than the actual remaster lol.
That sounds awful to me. An accordion can fit some music, but this isn't it.
Here is my review:
Console Creatures - Recommended
There are certainly issues Square easily could have addressed and the remastering process feels a bit half-assed. I like the new character models and portraits but I hate the remastered filtered levels as they have lost a lot of the personality behind them.

Can you do that for less than $20?
Like yeah, I get that the remaster is half-assed and the smear filter is objectively worse than the original. But at the same time it's still not that expensive and the most convenient legal alternative you have requires a PS3. And the refined soundtrack and QoL features still seem like improvements over the original. The framerate isn't improved from the original, but not worse.
From what I understand, it's exactly like the original, but it's more noticeable now.
That's also true, I would need to pay about 50€ for an import. Maybe I'll end up getting the remaster on Steam though instead of Switch to be able to mod it.
So what are the Battle enhancement features other then getting invicible option ? i was expecting rebalancing, or something more interesting, nothing have change ?
What a load of crap, the game could have been so much more and better....
EDIT: how the hell Saga Frontier got the best remaster version ever and they give CC that trash treatment.

It's sad the remaster didn't go above and beyond but I'm really happy it just exists as it is so I can retire my friggin PS3 version. It only costs ten dollars more than that version so I kept my expectations in check. I would have been happy with a straight port with trophies. I just hope it sells enough for SE to maybe do anything else with the franchise going forward. Please support this series.
Side question, I forget does Radical Dreamers have a save function? I can't remember how long it is.

I captured the opening sequence, title screen and attract mode running on Switch for anyone interested. :)
I've been playing this the past week and really enjoyed my revisit with Chrono Cross. I haven't played it since the original launch back in August 2000… so the nostalgia hit very different.
If there are any questions, happy to answer them here.

Been wanting to play this game for a long, long time and will finally do so this week. Only thing I'm sorta bummed about are the backgrounds looking blurry.
Welp, still unfortunately rewarding Square for their half-assed remaster since I don't have a PS1/PS3 and don't feel like emulating a copy on PC. I'm also extremely susceptible to nostalgia bait.
reading this, I had completely forgotten about the battle system of this game. It's wild, and feels extremely smart. It feels like a battle system that should have had more influence. Like, that battle system is probably better-suited for the designers to give players a tailor-made challenging experience that rewards smarts over powerleveling brute force.
I'm really excited to replay this game.
Sounds like a lot of the same issues the PS1 Final Fantasy games have with their modern ports. Especially the blurry backgrounds contrasting with the crisper models. Honestly, it seems like it doesn't have nearly as many issues or changes as the modern FFIX port. Not that this means people aren't allowed to criticize it or anything of course (because I know if I don't say this that's how someone will read this), just that if you've played something like FFIX on modern systems, you've experienced a lot of these issues already plus more and may be able to get used to it.
SaGa Frontier has the benefit of two internal producers who wanted to make it happen, existing resources for them to use to "finish" the game, a popular gacha to help justify the cost, and it's sold for more.
Also, for anyone who missed it, the OT is up!

ClickableClickable Chrono Cross is a sequel to the beloved SNES JRPG Chrono Trigger, though calling it a sequel comes with some caveats. While it takes place in the same world as Chrono Trigger (taking place twenty years later from when Crono and friends started their adventure)...
