Even in text, the amusement in the answer from Masato Kato (Chrono Cross’ original director and key staffer of the original Chrono Trigger) is clear. In an internally-conducted Square Enix interview that was shared with media as part of the remaster’s review package, one simpering question asks the creators of Chrono Cross how it felt for the first game to be “so well received” – a wild misreading of the situation at the time, likely based on a few arguably over-hyped and over-inflated review scores that some outlets and writers have quietly disowned since. 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.
So the HD version already exists (though it would probably need some touching up since it's been a decade), and the various motion control-centric additions would likely still work just as well thanks to the Switch's Joy-Cons, but still no "Wind Waker." A 20-year anniversary seems like the perfect time for Nintendo to hit "Zelda" fans with a bombshell - one that isn't related to "Tears of the Kingdom" - but all we can do is keep our fingers crossed.Chrono Cross is back. What's more, the game already had a very well-received HD port in 2013 for the Wii U, which sharpened up the graphics, made the late-game grind less irritating, and added some new elements that were built around the Wii U's unique control scheme.
Eventually most people changed their minds about the art style, too.
"Wind Waker" was a bit divisive at first due to the far more cartoonish visual style and depiction of series protagonist Link as a more obvious child, but, before long, it became a hit with just about everyone willing to look past the superficial.
