Do you mean Radical Dreamers as in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, or are you asking if you should check out the small, text-based adventure game Radical Dreamers that comes with it?

I mean, my answer either way is yes but each have their own caveats.
So as far as Cross, I'd second what @soundchaser said above. It's weird but it's gorgeous and takes a lot of the ideas of CT (six elements, dual techs, multiple, different versions of the same world) and blows them out into more complex versions of themselves. The story is almost its own thing, as it was basically a more fully-realized version of Radical Dreamers dialed up to 11. While there are connections to Trigger present, the story doesn't really rely on them too much, so it ends up being almost a standalone experience. It's sorta convoluted and messy in the way 90s RPGs loved to be, so YMMV on that depending on your experiences/opinions with the genre.The former
Although kinda both, I suppose?
AwesommmmmeWeird and sorta convoluted sounds charming enough. I'll give it a try!
Don't forget Star Ocean: The Second Story R as well.
Yes! Justo saw the announcement. And is a long weekend here in México, gonna try allí of them( I think the Silent Hope one is the dame from Pax)
They're currently downloading on my Switch as I type; along with F-Zero 99 and Baten Kaitos.
Unicorn Overlord was definitely my favorite of the RPGs in the Direct today. Just really hyped to get a new Vanillaware game. Eiyuden Chronicle though is probably more up my alley being a traditional RPG. I’ll be picking up Saga probably, but that will go straight into the backlog more than likely.
Yeah Unicorn Overlord excites me because Vanillaware (and food) but the gameplay didn't look very much up my alley from what I saw. Definitely more hyped for Eiyuden Chronicle at this point.
Yeah I want all of the Vanillware games on Switch. Odin Sphere is my absolute favorite PS2 game, Muramasa and Dragon’s Crown would be great fun to have, and I really want to play Princess Crown one day!
Also add in Persona 5 Tactica in November, too (busy month!).
So many gods to attack and dethrone, so little time
Kinda bummed that Namco didn't announce any RPG's for the future after teasing some. Digimon devs (most likely working with media.vision) teased more announcements this year and a survey asked players what tales remaster they wanted. Devs also hinted more on the way.
I wonder how much they're rebalancing Mario RPG, since adding in new super moves and hitting all enemies with some attacks would make the game incredibly easy as it is. And postgame bosses is interesting, does that mean we get to explore the world after beating the game?
Hell yeah! I enjoyed playing Odin Sphere so much I made a diagram on how to translate the controls to the PSP because I wanted to carry that game everywhere with me. It was very exciting to see a Vanillaware game revealed during the Direct, to me this more then covers the sting of P3R skipping the Switch.
Yeah that’s what I’m wondering now is how it works exactly. Like I’m not expecting NPCs to all get new dialogue, but that would make the Remake incredible for me. I’m most expecting something like you beat the game, you get a star or whatever on your save file, and it’ll kick you back before Smithy but all of those bosses are now hanging out in the world.
That's definitely more likely, but a full-on postgame would be pretty amazing.
Yeah! I also really adore Odin Sphere to a similar extent where I just could not stop thinking about it when I beat it. I especially loved envisioning so many ideas for one more one adventure with all of the characters
There’s so many cool things I would love to see with Mario RPG if they decide to expand on it. I just mentioned in my last post above with Odin Sphere to Seven, but I’ve always wanted more adventures within Mario RPG too. A new area of some sort culminating in more bosses would be so cool. I’ve heard people suggest Sephiroth as an optional boss which I guess I’d prefer more things like Culex, but yeah bring on whatever they got!
I’m most curious what you think of Dragon Quest Monsters personally if that helps you decide
I’m not expecting anything. Looks like TGS is going to be mostly Persona and Unicorn focused for Atlus. Also the EO/SMT team just shipped earlier this year, I wouldn’t expect anything new from them until next year.
Just throw the dice, it was what I did
That’s what I figured. Even if not a new game I’ve just really been itching for that SMT4 port that’s been rumored. But I’m happy to wait, just feels weird that there were multiple different SMT rumors and nothing has come of them yet.
I don't have much time to play games this weekend, so I also just tried those 3 demos, but only about half an hour each.
I'll be honest I had DQM on auto battle most of the time since the whole order system is a tad annoying for me and the main combat encounters of the demo are all auto battle encounters anyways (the tournament battles). Without a real boss fight in the demo it's honestly hard to guage the difficulty imo. The first area is definitely super easy though
That's good to know! Thanks for your feedback! As such, then yeah, it's the best of the 3 and definitely on my to buy list. Hopefully the full game lives up to my expectations and presents a good challenge and biome diversity.
