A LOST Masterpiece? - Chrono Cross Remastered REVIEW! (PS4/Switch/Xbox)

[@DreamcastGuy]

Feels good to FINALLY have a reason to talk about Chrono Cross in depth! Thanks for watching the review and LIKING the video!!

[@wadedewell]

No there is not too many characters youarea sjwthat loves corrupting great content like ff7 and turning it into generic action trash. You clearly hate turn based rpgs and we're hoping for less content , changed gameplay and a garbage episodic content like ff15 cough sorry ff7remake which you loved. Why don't they just turn Chrono trigger into a fps or survival horror? Bet you would love that! I wish final fantasy would be turn based again with the great graphics kind of like lost odessy.... I want to debate you live Dreamcast guy... Your messed up

The best part of this remaster is that it makes the game legally playable in Europe! I got my hands on it several years ago on my chipped PS2 and played I think more than halfway and LOVED the music and art, but actually got overwhelmed by all the different characters. Finally I found myself using too many of them to the point that I was severely underleveled, and dropped the game. Now my PS2 is dead and buried, but I haven´t been able to stop thinking about this game - and here they make a remaster! :-)

Fun fact: Square Enix's top three games on Metacritic are all PS1 games, and were all released within months of each other in 2000 in North America: 1. Final Fantasy 9 2. Chrono Cross 3. Vagrant Story So now, I'm really hoping Square Enix gets around to bringing back Vagrant Story! Personally, I think it would benefit hugely from a remake. I mean.. many Vagrant Story fans can see all the similarities between it and the Souls games, so imagine a Vagrant Story remake with a reworked combat system that takes some inspiration from the Souls series!!

[@skyydancer67]

I think I rather keep that game in my memories and not see a remake. I enjoyed the combat and all while I played it and I spend HOURS building up my weapons with a turbo controller but, I would need some functionality to mimic a turbo controller on my switch because it's impossible to sit down for hours killing a training dummy.

I'm with wade on this, I didn't feel keen on the FF7 hack n slash system. It premotes you to mash the attack button to fill a meter to use a spell.... on top that it does it worse than Kingdom Hearts because it also mixes an MP system in which just heavily discourages to make tactical moves and just sort of mash until you need to do something different. You also can only control one character at a time, which is not really a criticism but more a highlight to what makes turn based more interesting. I do not like how FFs identity has changed, since turn based isn't dated, it's just it appeals to a smaller demographic, so we end up with something meh so that it can appeal to a wider spread of people.

44 characters isn’t too much, it’s that such a high volume of them suck and feel pointless. Look at Suikoden 1 and 2’s 108 characters each - it doesn’t feel like too many, and it feels like almost all of them have a point, an important place in the story, and an important place on your team (as they take up residence and roles).

I never understand why people think that taking away the ability to grind and become more powerful is a good thing. Allowing grinding opens up another way to play. Taking that away means the game will play the same with every play through. I like Chrono Cross a lot but suppose you want to rush through Chrono Trigger and use elemental weaknesses to survive battles. That’s one way to play but you can also just grind so that you are powerful enough to use attack in most cases. That’s another way to play.

Since they remade this game, which is cool and all, they should have also remade Chrono Trigger and sold them in one compilation cart or download for those that haven't played Chrono Trigger yet. Maybe it's just me, but if I see a sequel to a game first I then try to find the first one first because if I can't find the first one I won't get the sequel until I've played the first. Luckily I still have my SNES and Chrono Trigger and since it's been years since I've played that game, I will ho through it again first before Chrono Cross on Switch. I don't have Cross on SNES so I never got to play it back in the day. I wish Nintendo would release Chrono Trigger on SNES Switch so I wouldn't have to drag my SNES and CRT TV out to play Trigger but I will. What you call your detriment in Cross is what I call fun! The more characters to find and be able to use makes the game more worth while. The more there is to do in a game and the longer it takes to finish the more bang for my buck I got. Now I know I made the right purchase. Just have to finish Trigger again first.

[@lindenstromberg6859]

Dragon Quest 6 also did the two worlds thing, probably more thoroughly than Chrono Cross. You might like that one. The downside to 6 is that, while the concept is interesting, this is the first DQ game that waffles in the story. But if 7 or 8 didn’t bother you, then this one should be fine. What I mean by waffling is the stories were fairly barebones in the earliest two games, and then 3-5 added more and more meat on. But 6 is where they crossed a line and went from having a satisfying amount of story to feeling bloated, 7 and 8 just got worse - 7 might have been the worst of the bunch, though, 8 was just slower paced hours upon hours upon hours chasing Dull Magus. Sorry, I know this game has fans because of its charming presentation, and I don’t want to upset them, but you also know the story criticism is true :) Story is just one element of DQ, and maybe not the most important one most of the time - DQ5 might be the only one where story dominates the experience. But if you like/love DQ7 (and 8) and you like the dual worlds part of Chrono Cross with different people leading different lives (sometimes vastly different), then you will absolutely love Dragon Quest 6.

@@RustyShacklefordIrishHipHop WHAT?!? I had no idea it didn't release there. That's crazy. Any idea why?

Thanks for the review! I've read a lot of complains regarding framerate issues. What's your opinion on that, Max?

I'm dying for remasters of Legend of Legaia and Legend of Dragoon!

[@skyydancer67]

I loved Legend of Legaia. Short game but the most fun I had in turned-based combat.

Except when it's popular to hate on something. I've seen several game reviews where his initial review is positive, then after the rest of the community starts trashing the game, he falls right in line.

chrono cross is such an amazing game i still have my original copy and id never get rid of it just amazing

[@brandonkruse6412]

Man, I have a hard time calling this a remaster. Remasters typically run better. Not the same, or worse on current gen hardware. This is emulation with a slight up-res in the textures and a few features.

[@mappybc6097]

You are forgetting the new translation, both for the game and le tresor interdit, the new portrait art for every PC and named NPC in the game and the new remixed soundtrack. Is it enough to justify the asking price? That's subjective and up to every player, but saying Square just increased the resolution and cleaned some textures is not really fair.

[@wonderfulfable]

Not the most perfect remaster, but hey, it's portable on the Switch 👌🏼

[@brandonkruse6412]

@@mappybc6097 I’d say that is pretty fair. Especially when somehow they managed to release an upscaled PS1 ROM that runs badly on current gen hardware. I don’t even know how that’s possible but the Switch port is abysmal.

[@lindenstromberg6859]

Chrono Cross might be a masterpiece for Yasuyuki Honne as an artist as it was his breakout role, but he also quit Square to follow Tetsuya Takahashi’s rebellion after Cross. It felt like Baten Kaitos was a more important stepping stone for him. The game is definitely not Hiromachi Tanaka, Masato Kato, or Mitsuda’s masterpiece. IMO, Secret of Mana for Tanaka, and Chrono Trigger for Kato and Mitsuda.

So I watched another video that said the frame rate is worse than the original ps1 version. Is it like this? 10fps in some battles? I wanted to pick it up on Xbox because that is what I have. I don't want it to run like Dog S

The soundtrack alone is top 3 imo along with ff7 ,love this game

[@robertb.warren4749]

I loved this game growing up, but it can go from being an enjoyable experience to an rng nightmare at the drop of a hat.

[@segajsaturn6036]

“Drink water and like the video.” I literally just did that! 😂

[@alanw9620]

I am tempted to get this but at the same time I currently have Elden Ring and have plenty to do in that still, I haven't beat or even gotten to Godrick yet lol (Though I do think I am right at that point) So yeah I have plenty of games as it is to keep me busy and by now there are more modern RPGs that I can enjoy instead that I could buy, I never finished Persona 5 for example, wouldn't that not be a better game to play? I never have played any of the Chrono games though so I am certainly tempted, especially as I do like Time Travel/Alternate reality stories a lot so I think I will get this eventually, I just am not sure if the timing is right for right now.

[@drstevens21]

My favorite old time PlayStation game. I like it better than Chrono trigger even

[@fawkkyutuu8851]

This Isn't directed at Chrono Cross just a general thought about remasters: Imo alot of times the "cleanliness" of modern remasters causes classics to lose their character. There's nothing Inherently bad about oldschool 5th gen "murky" art , you have to be careful when doing remasters to not mess with It's key charms but most people always get It wrong and the remaster comes off souless and generic and pleases neither older or new players , so I hate when people try to modernize an older game too much. No generation's design trends or style Is ever old or outdated anyway , It all comes down to aesthetic and design preference and for me 6th gen and 5th gen Is still my favorite even over modern 9th gen graphics and whatever advanced modern design trends they use today.

[@TevyaSmolka]

The game sounds tons of fun.

[@eduardmc]

Cant believe they are leaving out xenogears. One of the greatest game ever made

[@scrappymutt2047]

How is it they can make Hyrule Warriors 60fps but they are stuck at 30-45 FPS in games like this? It does not seem like there is too much happening on screen at the same time.

[@jameshurley776]

Dreamcast guy can explain why square censored some stuff in the remastered version

[@HexaFox]

These two may not be closely related but everyone is saying the same thing is a major drawback of Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes Rising. I am going to play it since it is on Game Pass but people are saying there are way too many characters to care about and most of them have one short side quest before they join your party and they never talk or are taken into consideration again. Then there is the complaint of how hard it is to form a party and it usually happens through a guide rather than naturally. Anyway I completed Chrono Cross as a kid and never knew it had so many endings or characters. Did the old version have the same amount of endings and characters?

[@brandonwhite4998]

Never played a Chrono game Dreamcast Guy, so what your saying is that I can't get over leveled?

[@suikofreak546]

Suikoden doesn't think there's enough playable characters in this game.

[@InnerRise]

I dont remember being able to skip all random battles and just battling bosses. Even some of the randoms were difficult. But just bosses? Cant believe it Also, are there huge disparities in graphic quality between Switch and Playstation?

[@queenzelda]

I'm surprised that you didn't bring up the fact that this game isn't done by the same artist; Akira Toriyama from Chrono Trigger which turned off some fans to this game.

[@Thataaronmurphydude28]

I already have this on my PS Vita because of the PlayStation Network, probably for 10 dollars. Can’t really remember, but it definitely wasn’t more. I know this is only 20 dollars, but I still wonder if I should bother.

hi dreamcast guy what do you think doing a review about grandia hd ? =O

I believe it’s 45 characters but not a big deal lol
