Chrono Trigger

Wouldn't an emulator of either the snes or Playstation version work better than the PC port? 🤔

Does the newer remaster even have anything worthwhile? I personally do not like the UI compared to the OG.

    And the OG SNES version has the best English translation. A hill I would gladly die on 😤

    Even if this is the worst way to play it, it's still worth them fixing whatever the issue was. It's not like it's exclusive to that game. Whatever it was doing that wasn't working as intended likely effects other games too. It was an issue with how Proton translated it, and the fix should apply to any other similar usage of whatever graphics library it was using.

    I wouldn't play the PS1 port, because of the long losing loading times.
    I agree with that article though, that the best version to play is the DS port. The Steam release is okay, it's simply the easiest to buy nowadays.

    SNES in my opinion is the superior version. and having access to better saves is also appreciated cause some fights can get long.

    I'm kinda curious what the technical differences are.

    I usually play the PS1 version just for the cutscenes because I don't notice any real differences that affect the gameplay. 🤷‍♂️

    I admit I tend to avoid ps1 emulation because it tends to look... tilted kinda? like the polygons seem to always be out of whack.

    but maybe its a bit smoother if it doesn't have to generate any 3d images or textures. I have not played the ps1 version so I am not entirely sure if it suffers from that or not.

    Well it's a 2D game so the PS1's quirks of 3D rendering don't even apply.

    I know what you mean, tho. That unique look PS1 has because it didn't use floating point integers for the vertices, so whenever the camera moves, the models look like they are shifting/wiggling as vertices jump from point to point in the most unsmooth manner possible?
