Every Way Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Updates The Original

screenrant.com:

It was revealed during the February 2022 Nintendo Direct that Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is coming. The game was announced during a Nintendo presentation, but it was later confirmed to be coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition contains remastered versions of two classic games, but what exactly is improved about these new iterations of Chrono Cross and Radical Dreamers?

Chrono Cross and Radical Dreamers are both the sequel to Chrono Trigger. Radical Dreamers was a loose sequel to Chrono Trigger and there were only a few elements tying the two games together. The creator of Radical Dreamers wanted to remake the game on the PS1, especially following the JRPG boom brought about by FF7. Instead, the story of Radical Dreamers was remade into Chrono Cross, which is a far more ambitious game. Chrono Cross is considered to be a polarizing game by many people, more so for its connection to Chrono Trigger than for its gameplay. The treatment of the cast of Chrono Trigger in Chrono Cross has been criticized by many fans over the years, which isn't helped by Chrono Cross having a complicated and confusing storyline of its own.
