TheChrono Crossopening movie is still wild
If you haven’t playedChrono Crossyet, you probably should at some point in your life.Whether that’s through the newRadical Dreamersedition: you’ll have the make that decision for yourself. But maybe theChrono Crossopening movie can help persuade you.
Weird, right? Yeah that’s about right for how the game actually plays out. And even weirder, decades later, original producer Hiromichi Tanakaposted a commemorative launch letter that references Zack Snyder’sJustice League: 2022, folks!
The celebration doesn’t stop there, as the publisher shareda Sailing (Another World) song performanceon top ofDreams of the Past, Memories of My Soul, supervised by original composer Yasunori Mitsuda (who also shared a commemorative launch letter). The company also hasa landing site that has comparisonsfor the old and new visuals, key art, world map, music, and font.
While the port could have used more attention, clearly the creators actually do care about this oddity that I enjoyed in silence when it came out. It doesn’t surprise me thatChrono Crossis just as polarizing in 2022 as it was when it came out. Even in the best of circumstances, with the nostalgia ofChrono Triggerbehind it, it was divisive. But I’m very glad it exists, and the story/characters are preserved all these years later, even if it’s in a flawed format.
To prepare you for tomorrow’s launch of Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, please enjoy the opening sequence from the game.
We hope you’re as excited as we are! There’s still time to pre-order:https://t.co/ybc2vd78sjpic.twitter.com/ySKOhsKd2q
