Chrono Cross Remaster The Radical Dreamers Edition Revealed For Nintendo Switch

@Thanatos2k: True, but to be fair, CC got its perfect 10 long before critics began scoring games based on how well they align with their political ideologies.

@Thanatos2k: .......Fan reaction was largely positive, though certain fans complained that the game was a far departure from its predecessor,Chrono Trigger; Chrono Crossbroke convention by featuring more characters, fewer double and triple techs, fewer instances of time travel, and few appearances ofTriggercharacters and locations.[3][28]Producer Hiromichi Tanaka and director Masato Kato were aware of the changes in development, specifically intending to provide an experience different fromChrono Trigger.[8][28]Kato anticipated and rebuffed this discontent before the game's release, wondering what theChronotitle meant to these fans and whether his messages ever "really got through to them".[28]He continued, "Crossis undoubtedly the highest qualityChronothat we can create right now. (I won't say the 'best'Chrono, but) If you can't accept that, then I'm sorry to say this but I guess yourChronoand myChronohave taken totally different paths. But I would like to say, thank you for falling in love withTriggerso much."[28]Tanaka added, "Of course, the fans of the original are very important, but what innovation can come about when you're bound to the past? I believe that gameplay should evolve with the hardware."[7]Kato later acknowledged that he could have "shown more empathy to the player" by making the story less complex, and acknowledged fans who felt the game was a departure fromChrono Trigger, noting that one can still "equally enjoy the game."[26].^............

......Chrono Cross employs story arcs, characters, and themes from Radical Dreamers, a Satellaview side story to Chrono Trigger released in Japan. Radical Dreamers is an illustrated text adventure which was created to wrap up an unresolved plot line of Chrono Trigger.[24] Though it borrows from Radical Dreamers in its exposition, Chrono Cross is not a remake of Radical Dreamers, but a larger effort to fulfill that game's purpose; the plots of the games are irreconcilable.[24] To resolve continuity issues and acknowledge Radical Dreamers, the developers of Chrono Cross suggested the game happened in a parallel dimension.[25] A notable difference between the two games is that Magus—present in Radical Dreamers as Gil—is absent from Chrono Cross. Director Masato Kato originally planned for Magus to appear in disguise as Guile, but scrapped the idea due to plot difficulties.[24] Kato specifically felt that the game's large number of characters, as well as the difficult production schedule, did not allow him to develop the relationship between Magus and Kid.[26] In the DS version of Chrono Trigger, Kato teases the possibility of an amnesiac Magus.[27]^.........

If they had a chocobo, I am sure some would say it was a sequel to Final Fantasy 6.
