Which Version of Chrono Cross & Radical Dreamers Should You Play IN 2023? - All Ports Reviewed!

What a time to alive be. I remember next to nothing abkut tbis game excet using green element against some boss to get the mastermune. Thats sbout it..

Meaning ill get to experience the magic again

“ Japanese version received the same revisions”
That’s a really gay and woke way to say ESG funded gender role erasure.

I LOVE this game am playing it right now. The only thing is I can't turn off auto battle. So I can't even defend or go to element

Never use Emulators to say how the Performance is. NO Emulator is perfect and has always performance hacks or bugs that can increase or lower performance against real hardware. The Best emulator Duckstation and Madnafen are both really different in performance in this game that shows that this is not a good use for that sadly :)

Thank you for this video, I was considering buying this game and stronlgy hesitated because of the performance issues. I'll probably just play the original with CRT royale on retroarch now that I know even the script was altered

Out of one of my many attempts to like this game (and I mean that in the best sense possible), my most recent save file has clocked in at 20 hours where I play as Lynx in the demi-human village, and since I feel I owe it to myself to hunk up and finish it, but don't fully remember what I even did for those 20 hours, I am not sure whether I should just continue that save (albeit with a guide as I have no clue what to do next), or if I should start fresh, and if so with the original and remastered version.

I ask mostly because, as with many J-RPG, it is my estimate that the game doesn't really get story heavy until later, so will I really miss that much story if I don't remember the last 20 hours of content?

Is it worth getting on the switch?

so if i follow correctly...
without poeple emulating chrono cross,the remasters would have never happened because the devs no longer had the original game?

wtf didn't they do this for Legend of Dragoon lol??

I know this is kind of weird comment but if someone read this comment and it’s intending to play the game in spanish, know that the translation it’s horrible, the accents were exaggerated to the point that Harle's accent it’s almost impossible to understand. Additionally to this it’s the fact they took the freedom to rename almost all of the places, characters and even the names that are mentioned from chrono trigger. If you are a purist and give a thought in playing it at least in spanish, you will be really disappointed.

What about the game? No info on of it's a good game.

Thanks man! This game is legendary, deserves more than this. :)

Original is the best. New one is horse....

I loved the game back in 1999 and I love the 2023 remaster. It’s just the way I remember it and it brings me back to my teenage nostalgia! I can’t wait to check out the radical dreamers edition!

Chrono cross is a beaaautiful gem of a game. i loved it for like 22 years now...
shame that square didnt care enough to give this a Trial of Mana type of full remake.... what a crappy timeline we live in

Still prefer the original look and feel but glad they are giving it love as having a PSX isn't practical for many.

This game doesn't run at 1080p. It's locked to 960p internally on all systems, Special K can fix this, but it's wrong to say it runs at 1080p.

Love pip. It has many form like pokemon.😮

Hey, I want to start Valkyrie Profile but I don't know which one must I play is psp one or in mobile one can you make video about this?

Chrono still silent

Ah Jesus melted trees

While these fix are nice, kinda wish they did these fix first before giving us the physical edition.

The Metal Gear series could be a good one to tackle next

Thank you for the updated review!

The new patch looks good, glad they fixed the framerate issues from the launch date, as the combat just seemed super slow and sluggish when it came out last year, but odd timing as its a year later and they just decided to do a patch now? lol. Well at least they heard the fans complaints. Also still not super pleased that they didn't do more with the backgrounds. Seems they just put a cheap smoothing filter over them. No AI upscaling on the backgrounds or FMV cutscenes. But i guess the programmers just did that rather than re-do or re-draw the backgrounds and re-do all of the assets as that would have been a big undertaking.
Still, for a Square Enix flagship title and series beloved by millions of fans, this one felt like it could have used a little more TLC. Im not asking for FF7 remake quality, but ya know, a little more effort.

on mobile yet ? damn this game make me remember the old time lol

Cheers for the updated review!

That new kid portrait looks so bad

why would they change the dialogue of the characters in the game just cause they can or what, i was gonna buy remaster on steam sale coming up but now i just want to get a ps1

I am playing the switch version of radical dreamers Edition. Have the physical Asian Version. The backgrounds look awfull and it was hard for me to find into the game. Its not good looking. But the game itself is quite awesome.

I didn't know there was already a background touchup mod for the Steam version. Project Kid or w/e. I'll have to check it out!

Great review! Could you tell me/us the game stutters when the view moves together with characters? I do not know what it causes. It´s fine when characters runs around in the statis view but when the view moves then it stutters a lot.

I love this channel

I just want a remaster like this one for legend of dragoon. How hard is it sony?

One selling point for the remaster is the Italian localization added to the game, it never came out in europe back in the day and there was a fan patch avaiable for it. Now the game has been officially translated making the game more accessable to an italian audience.

i think it's the same for other non english speaking countries like france and germany

Retroarch overclocking consistently crashes the game.

I just got it yesterday cause I heard about a patch and it's perfectly fine, another nice HD remaster from Square!

Odd timing really…why would I go back to playing this turd of a game when Octopath 2 just came out?

The new patch from Square really made a big difference. It runs so much better now, better than the original version.

Austin you're my comparison man😃😃

I just replayed the switch version after the patch and a huge upgrade but it did dip a bit too much in a lot of boss battles, still enjoyable but I'll also purchase it on PS5 cause its only 13 bucks right now.

Great summary.

This game (original) never came out in the Pal regions and that will always make me sad

Thanks for the video. Tells me more than i needed to know, going to pick it up and bask in the nostalgia.

I finished this in December but I'm glad they patched it.

The og is the best
