It has been almost a year since the release of Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition on PC and consoles, and it seemed like Square Enix quickly moved on from this remaster, as it never received an update to fix its many issues. Thankfully, that isn't the case, as a new update will be released soon.

　　The game's first major update, which is scheduled to go live this month, will bring several improvements and fixes, such as framerate improvements, changes to the unique growth system for the character Pip and more.

　　Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition doesn't just include a remaster of the second entry in the series by Square Enix as well as the first English release of Radical Dreamers, but also a new secret sequence that hints at the future of the series. As of last year, however, Square Enix had no plans to release a new entry in the series.

　　Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch worldwide. You can learn more about the game by checking out Kai's review, where he highlighted the remaster's many issues.

　　Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is a title that I truly wish had been given the extra effort to address some of the core issues surrounding the frame rates of the original PlayStation 1 release. The crippled frame rates, which remain a constantly fluctuating 15-20 FPS in battles, are only exacerbated by providing players with the ability to slow down and fast forward gameplay without having to finish the game first.

　　In another time, another place, perhaps Chrono Cross The Radical Dreamers Edition would be more critically revered this second time around but I can find little reason to recommend this particular bundle over the PlayStation 1 release based on the core game alone. However, Radical Dreamers has been a title I've long-awaited to play with an official English localization, and including this experimental Super Famicom sound novel into the package helps soften the sting of the otherwise lackluster remaster.
