Chrono Cross remaster is coming to PC

And I'll gladly pay it for this gem. :p

I actually played Chrono Trigger back in the day, but I never got around to Chrono Cross because of its initially mixed reception in Japan.

Interesting though.
And the soundtrack sounds familiar, as it has been appropriated for various matters.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for GMG to give me my Steam key for the game (hopefully within the next hour or two).

I haven't played Chrono Cross in a LONG time (and still never beat it) so I'm looking forward to going through the game again.

If I already had my Deck I might have bought it straight away, as this would be a perfect match. But now I'll probably wait for a sale.

I realize that some people who “play to have fun” and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends, and understandably so. However, I believe that there will be a certain number of people whose motivation is to “play to contribute,” by which I mean to help make the game more exciting. Traditional gaming has offered no explicit incentive to this latter group of people, who were motivated strictly by such inconsistent personal feelings as goodwill and volunteer spirit.

Excerpt from the New Year's Letter from the President of SQUARE ENIX regarding Non-Fuckable Tokens

Well... what would you expect from a company like that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They seem to care more about mobile optimization than modern resolutions.
I forget where I saw it, but someone showed AI-learning hi-res resizing of old square JRPGs that looked better than any of the remasters released today. It's not even remaking/rendering the bg's, it's simply running them through an algo, and they can't even figure that out.

The price is annoying, to be sure, but it's still better than than the pixel "remasters" + FF Legend (GBA quality) ... why can't they price them affordably to compete with what the fans have already done better, for free??
