It turns out the Chrono Cross remaster is also a restoration, as Producer Koichiro Sakamoto went over how the team needed to replace missing data and manually rebuild locations’ backgrounds.
The Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition remaster is now available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Sakamoto first explained PlayStation limitations meant Chrono Cross locations involved creating a 3D place and using a capture of it as an actual background in game.
This meant the team needed to replay the game during development in order to properly prepare the modern ports.
