I picked up Chrono Cross a few weeks ago because it was on huge sale. I’ve always wanted to play it since the original Chrono trigger is amazing and I love Nobuteru Yuki’s work in character design. However, what really stands out for me about this game is the impressionist treatment of its backgrounds. I’ve never seen anything like this in a game before. #retrogaming #chronocross #chronotrigger #gameart #inspiration

A background from Chrono Cross, originally on the ps1. The image looked more like an impressionist painting than your typical video game background. Details are defined by multicoloured brush strokes to represent light and depth on objects rather than representing details. The image shows the inside of a hut represented in warm colours. Bright light is entering from a back blue window and is represented by bright shades of yellow and orange on the wooden floor. At the center of the room is a black figure. A goblin like character is sleeping on a suspended hammock.

Saturday means continuing with the Chrono Trigger playthrough.

Tiffie would also like to make a case that, because of her indispensable contributions by just existing, she too deserves to be fed on demand without further questions.

Caved to nostalgia and grabbed Chrono Trigger on the Spring Steam sale, and several hours in I can say that's definitely 3,74€ well spent.

30 years of #ChronoTrigger. The Square Enix Music channel will have a stream on the 13th, but this harp and accordion arrangement of "To Far Away Times" was posted in December.

#ChronoTrigger is 30 years old, so I wrote a blog post about some thoughts on it, maybe I'll play it again this year and finally write my full review for it?

This is day 35 of #100DaysToOffload

Ponoć hasztag #ChronoTrigger rozpędza się na Masto w związku z 30. rocznicą wydania tego tytułu na SNES-ie.

Pamiętam, jak w ten tytuł zagrywałem się lata temu na emulatorze na swoim PeCecie... Trzeba będzie chyba go sobie przypomnieć na Anbernicu

Swoją drogą to bym się nie obraził, gdyby Square zdecydowało się zrobić remake/remaster w wersji HD-2D (tak jak zrobiono to z innym podobnym SNES-owym tytułem Live A Live).
