TheInfernoman Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I don't curr about Chrono Cross. Most of this Direct was kinda meh to me as i don't either care about the RPGs or I don't have the time to play them. Happy to get AW coming soon. Hyped for new Merio Kart Tracks WALUIGI PINBALL BETTER BE IN NOW. Quote Link to comment

Chadouken Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I played Chrono Cross back in the day on PSX and loved it. The music was incredible, and the battle system was pretty unique. RSG3 and HD-Man 2 Quote Link to comment
HD-Man Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Debating on getting Chrono Cross a second time, it's been almost 20 years since I played it so it'll probably be almost a new experience for me. I'm honestly inclined to get it just to show Square there's demand for a new Chrono title 🤔 Chadouken and RSG3 2 Quote Link to comment

Although I still think we should keep the bar low on this one. Panzer Dragoons pretty good tho, especially after the reticle patch so it behaves properly. I'm looking forward to then remaking Zwie and I hope it leads to Saga. I'll probably buy Chrono Cross to show support but I'm not in a position to play it, many other RPGs I want to get before another run of CC. More then that tho it's really nice to finally have a proper upres of the game because trying to make it play nice with any upscaled but the newest of scalpers is fucking impossible. The game runs at 480p or so but the in game menus are a different Res so every time you open the menu the upscaled has to resink. Makes it unplayable.

I got mine for like $15 plus S+H. They since took down all of their PS1 titles. Quote Link to comment

I'm probably in the minority tho I like Cross as well. I like Trigger but it's rather over rated as well, in that obnoxious FF7 kind of way. Still.i get why any Trigger fan would be upset at that outcome. I'm just not that attached to Triggers cast. I think Cross is lot more creative and interesting. It story can be peak Square goofy shit, but I don't find that to be much different from Trigger either so yea. I like Cross as well. Great cast, setting, music, mechanics and gimmicks.

The DS port of Trigger got a new ending making the connection to Cross smoother. I might mess around and rewatch that if I pick Cross up. Quote Link to comment
HD-Man Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I'd say my favorite part about Cross is the battle system, and the music, man the music.....eargasm, fam. I remember thinking the main battle song being odd as fuck at first but that shit grew on me And besides that, the fuckton on playable characters and different endings gave it plenty of replayability alot of games didn't have at the time. I still don't think I ever got all the characters and endings til this day RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment
NinetiesArcades Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yea same..the story got convoluted so quickly early; I do remember the music was interesting and I spent a good amount doing different tech combination to find 'combos' and that was neat. Meh, maybe i will coop one and give it 2nd time. RSG3 and Volt 2 Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yea for me the appeal is the combat system, the huge cast of quirky characters, both in personality and mechanics, and the music and setting. The story is goofy but most Square stories are so... Quote Link to comment
HD-Man Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 The OG Chrono Trigger cast was honestly generic as fuck, I don't think Crono even talked. I didn't hate them, but they weren't exactly a charasmatic cast. Whereas Cross gave u a cast that was diverse as fuck, and all of them were pretty unique. You could even unlock a cast member from Trigger, although technically due to time constraints or something, it's was supposed to be Magus but it's technically NOT him. Cool addition tho Volt 1 Quote Link to comment

Lantis Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 When we're talking about "big cast" are we talking about Suikoden-levels of insanity? I am very fond of the original Trigger with plotholes and all that stuff (I also played the PS1 version which had the "extra ending" that I guessed ties it in with Cross?). I just don't know why Square felt the need to fuck with it for Cross just for the sake of it. Quote Link to comment

If I remember right a number of Suikodens characters aren't playable and fill passive roles in the army. In Cross everyone you recruit is a party member. Dunno how that stacks up against the Suikoden series tho. Edited February 11, 2022 by RSG3 Quote Link to comment

Probably but that is the only time outside of the usual player choice answers he seemed to communicate. Won't lie how Cross treated the original main cast and it's story are indeed my least favorite parts of it. But it is a very good game if you don't have feelings for the original. Hell it is actually done by some of the folk that did Xenogears and later Xenoblade... which explains some of the story compared to the original. Quote Link to comment

The Sattellaveiw add on for the Super Famicom had Radical Dreamers which played with the idea the CT team all died, it didn't retcon anything. It's more like Square's version of What If.

BornWinner Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Nintendo will be closing down the 3DS’s and Wii U’s eShop next year. There’s a statement in the article that says it will not accept credit cards and eShop cards later this year, although downloads and the funds from your Switch account can still be used until March 2023.

globe Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) It's been a while since I've looked at Wii U hacking, but it's probably smart to buy the Brain Age DS game (you can buy any DS game, but Brain Age is the cheapest) if you ever want to softmod your Wii U. I know there's the internet browser way, but it's pretty finky and I think you have to do it every time. You could also just use a Wii instead, but uh Wii U games. Edit: Apparently there's a mod called Tiramisu that works well without all that I stated above. Edited February 16, 2022 by globe more info Quote Link to comment
