So Atlus Japan recently announced a new DS game called
Radiant Historia, a spiritual sequel (made by the same developers) to Square Enix's
Radiata Stories on PS2. I didn't play that game and this one didn't really look unusually interesting either, so I didn't really pay attention. But now there's a development that has me intrigued, and should catch the attention of any
Chrono fan: the game will feature a time-travel mechanic that seems quite a bit like the next logical extension to the
Chrono series. From what I understand, players will travel backwards and forwards in time AND across dimensions - when players change the past, a new timeline is created, and the game features a grid that keeps track of all the timelines and dimensions in the game. It sounds a hell of a lot like the next step up from the time- and dimension-traveling mechanics of
Trigger and
Cross, respectively, and it may be the closest thing to a
Chrono sequel in that regard that we're likely to get for some time. Check it out and see what you think:
