It pained me that I might never be able to play Chrono Cross – PlayStation emulation was absolutely out of the question in those days.įrameborder='0' allow='accelerometer autoplay clipboard-write encrypted-media gyroscope picture-in-picture' allowfullscreen>Ģ2 years later, the company now known as Square Enix has released Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, a remaster of the PlayStation One game. Presumably, this was due to the way game distribution worked at the time, and the amount of effort that would be needed to translate it to all the EFIGS languages (British English, French, Italian, German, Spanish) required for release in PAL territories like Europe and Oceania.Īs a determined kid who got to experience Chrono Trigger through emulation (I’ve since bought and now own numerous releases, if anyone is calling the police) I considered, and still consider, Chrono Trigger to be one of the all-time great Japanese RPGs, a time-travelling epic that remains a timeless video game.

Like its predecessor Chrono Trigger, as well as a number of other SquareSoft games, Chrono Cross would only ever be released in Japan and the US.

The peril of knowing about its existence through an overseas magazine, however, was eventually realising that the game would never make its way to my country. The Satellaview had some rare games, including Legend of Zelda Japan-exclusive titles, yet none drew as much attention from international fans as Radical Dreamers, as many saw it as a continuation of the story from Chrono Trigger.The first time I ever heard about Chrono Cross was in an expensive import issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM), which I read for ten minutes at a time whenever I visited the newsagency. Kato used the opportunity to tie Radical Dreamers into Chrono Trigger, with Magil being Magus. The Satellaview used a satellite link to download games onto blank cartridges.

Radical Dreamers was directed by Masato Kato, who was one of the writers of Chrono Trigger, and he was given the chance to create a game for a Japan-exclusive peripheral for the Super Famicom, called the Satellaview.

The story follows three thieves - Serge, Kid, and Magil - as they break into the Viper Manor in search of the mythical Frozen Flame. While Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross are lengthy JRPGs with turn-based battle systems, Radical Dreamers is a visual novel that only takes a few hours to complete.
