Chrono Cross Remaster and Radical Dreamers Localization Announced!

Another changed line. Don't recall the exact original text, but I'm 99% sure it was slightly different.

Another changed line. Don't recall the exact original text, but I'm 99% sure it was slightly different.

The original line was:

Kid:
   Oh...OK...
   Whaddaya take me for!?
   An idiot!?

So they added a sarcastic quip and "bloody" into the dialogue.

Was Belcha's wife's pan always triangular?

Other changes I've noticed so far:

• Minor differences in the conversation with Leena at Opassa Beach. Nothing big, just stuff like "all the time" becoming "often" and some changes to punctuation.
• The short scene where Poshul rejoins you after being kicked off the cliff by Peppor is skipped.
• Mojo no longer adds "-om" to his speech.

Edit:
Mojo does still say "-om" occasionally.

They also changed "struth" to "strewth"... guess that's more accurate to the australian dialect?

And something else I noticed, they changed some item names… Bronze Dagger is now Copper Dagger and Bronze Axe is now Copper Axe… seems that all Copper weapons are now just called Copper <weapon>

I modified Magil's indispensable room viewer from https://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Utilities_(PSX).html#Room_Viewer to add a few background replacement functions for this edition.

I hope that's okay, I would never be able to figure out how to parse those files myself.
I used it to add Serge's worst nightmare

One thing I've been curious about is the redrawn portraits for characters who don't have full concept art. Evil Serge looks... interesting? He got a pointy tooth and his jaw grew approximately 2 inches.

Anybody else experiencing lots of crashes on the Steam version? Whenever I launch the game it shows a warning about "Insufficient VRAM" even though my computer more than meets the recommended requirements.

I just farmed the Viper Manor Bluffs for copper, then when I tried to return to town the game crashed. It's happened before, and always when changing areas. The autosave feature should prevent stuff like this, but instead it seems to be the thing causing it. Crashes are always annoying, but this one was particularly disheartening because of the time and copper I lost.

Does anyone know a solution, or should I just wait to see if this gets patched?

The casino trick no longer works You are now unable to pause the game while playing… can’t even use Time Shifter.

There goes an easy Rainbow Shell and Denadorite farming…

Also “Cat on a hot tin roof” is now “Catamorphosis”… ok…

rofl that is actually hillarious. Am Aussie; it's accurate but surreal to see that added into this game xD

Umm wow  I hate it lol

[Beach Bum]

Also has the pointy tooth in his pirate getup... I think I prefer the old one, this version looks too tan... but it's not bad I guess

evol shurrrge

oh god how did this get in here I am not good with computers

Razzly's another one of the few I've spotted to also have gotten some 3d modelling touch ups. In this case they added more polys to her hair and changed up her face (for the better), along with new face and hair textures.

Also attached a Nikki comparison

There’s a weird bug going on, at least in the Switch version. When you go to the top chamber of Home Fort Dragonia and activate the pedestal with the Dragon Tear, the wall doesn’t light up when the scene about the origins of life is going on. As a result, the spark just moves along a dark, stone wall. Kinda ruins the scene a little bit.

They also fixed the Viper lvl 7 tech glitch. No more getting tons of Dragoon’s Glorys for EZ money.

There's a lot of talk going around that the game is really just an emulated version, even has the CDROM.dat files inside the data folder...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Just some dat files with the game files inside it.



Looks like this port has been in the works since 2019, going by the files timestamp lol.

I believe there was a Nvidia leak or dump somewhere around 2019 (or 2020?) that leaked CC getting a remaster or update of some kind, along with another Onimusha game that has been hush hush so far.

I bought the game on PSN and my goodness those new tracks at the main menu are beautiful. Love the artwork too, and I actually find it interesting that Leena is next to Serge, and Kid was down in front. Of course you got Guile in the back too, cuz Magus 

Speaking of Magus, has anyone played up to the part with Kid reading the letter from Lucca? Was that character shadow still there?
