However, even pricey AI upscalers need guidance and manual adjustments to get the best picture possible. I’ve dabbled in AI upscaling, and you can get some incredible results.

Lack of masteryįor the remaster, Square Enix added new HD models and textures, and HD text with redrawn character portraits. I actually recommend anyone who hasn’t played Chrono Cross to play it before Radical Dreamers because it spoils some of the mysteries like Kid’s identity. It also has six comedy scenarios available after the first, which are non-canon. It’s a visual novel that is pretty slow-moving and which contains spoilers for Chrono Cross. This “game” will be more hit or miss for players. While a fan translation has been available since around 2003, this is the first time this bridge between the two Chrono games and prequel to Chrono Cross has been officially released in English. However, I don’t really care about anyone like that because they have terrible takes.Īlso new to all territories outside of Japan is the Satellaview exclusive Radical Dreamers. For some reason, it’s somewhat divisive amongst the Chrono fanbase, probably because it’s not a direct sequel.


It’s a sequel to Chrono Trigger that deals with the repercussions of Chrono and party interfering with the timeline and has an overall darker tone than the original game. Like I said above, the core of Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition, Chrono Cross, is an amazing game, and I loved playing through it again.
