Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes
Aug. 17th, 2011 05:09 pmChrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes is a fan-made interquel intended to bridge Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross by explaining what happened to the cast of Trigger after that game ended to cause the events of Cross. It’s done as a romhack of the original SNES Chrono Trigger by Kajar Labs, the same team that made Prophet's Guile.
I just read a Let's Play of Chrono Cross, so it's fresh in my mind as I load this up. Actually, replaying or reading Let’s Plays of both games before playing this isn’t a terrible idea if you aren’t a rabid Chrono aficionado. This isn’t a game that stands by itself; it’s made almost entirely of references.
( It's the most complex fanfic I've ever played. )
Overall: This was pretty awesome, and whatever drama was involved, I’m glad I got to play it. The developers deserve a round of applause. I’m vaguely considering writing a FAQ/walkthrough for it, since none seems to exist and I have extensive notes.
