Roughly a year after launchingChrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, Square-Enix hascircled backto address some of its glaring issues with a patch this month. The patch is expected to address issues relating to the title’s frame rate, tweak the growth system for Pip, and fix numerous bugs.
Chrono Crosswas the anticipated sequel to the SNES classic,Chrono Trigger. It was extremely well-received at its time of release but has since developed a reputation as “notChrono Trigger” (source: my old college friends). WhenChrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Editioneventually hit the scene, I found thegame to be decent, but not one of Square’s best PS1 titles.

That’s fine. It’s still a worthwhile game, especially if you love Square’s PS1-era RPGs. This recent port, however, I found to be kind of stinky, although that’s not what Iactuallysaid. My sentiment was more along the lines that it was a barebones port that was serviceable but had framerate issues that made it feel like it failed to reach my bare minimum expectations. Hopefully, this patch will bring the port up to more acceptable standards.
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Editionis available now on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. No date was given for the patch.
