But even in North America and Japan, things weren’t plain sailing.

Given its predecessor never got a European release and Final Fantasy was only just becoming truly international at the time this came out, it skipped Europe entirely. For a start, it didn’t release in Europe at all. A bunch of new people are likely about to experience the adventure of Serge and Kid for the first time – and that opens a twenty-year aged can of worms all over again.Ĭhrono Cross got an unfair rap back on the PS1.

It’s been decades in the making, but one of Square’s most unfortunately maligned titles from its PS1 silver age is now finally getting the treatment it deserves. We know you can do it - and we’ll be here to buy it all over again when you do.Chrono Cross is back. So again, Square Enix: bring Chrono Trigger to modern consoles. I truly believe that, and I know I’m far from alone in feeling that way (look, here are some terrific words to that effect, from a past professional life of commissioning such pieces). It’s as important a game, as important an RPG, as anything from the Final Fantasy franchise. Konami, if you’re reading this: same argument applies.) But Chrono Trigger? It still looks incredible (that pixel art - the fixed version of it - hasn’t aged at all), it plays intuitively, its music is beautiful and its story - spanning time from the birth of mankind to the apocalypse itself - is utterly captivating from start to finish.

Sometimes I can look at the games I’d personally love to see make a comeback - the likes of Snatcher, Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight, and Sensible Soccer - and understand why they’re probably best left in the past.
