Overall, this is a really good game and I wish it was more popular because it deserves it. I got the great characters, unexpectedly well-done relationships, and time traveling I came for, but if only it wasn't somehow twice as complicated for me. My original interest in this game came from wanting something similar to Zero Escape, and I really hoped to find it here. The tiny ripples of effect every mission you do in this game causes is very unique and interesting to the plot, and I REALLY appreciate the easy mode that lets you skip battles entirely, but at times it's too much. Currently, I am completely lost trying to finish one because I have no clue where I need to go in order to talk to one specific person. This is because there are so many different points you constantly have to travel back-and-forth between in order to complete missions or special quests needed to get a specific ending. Traveling between timelines can get very confusing, even when I follow a gu ide very closely. Time traveling is something I love to see in games, and there is definitely a lot of it. Unfortunately, the downside of this game is also its strength. The art is also pretty, if not a bit standard compared to the original version. The friendships in this game really moved me as well, sometimes to the point of tears thanks to how beautiful the music is. The characters have depth and are easy to get attached to, my favorites being Stocke, Rosche, and Historia. Personally, I tend not to spend more than about 30 (maybe 60, at most) hours on a game before becoming bored, but Radiant Historia has so many things I love.

Worth the trouble.Īfter days of playing I still have yet to complete the game, but I have really enjoyed myself. With an exciting positioning-based battle system, memorable characters, and thrilling time-travel mechanics, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is an essential for JRPG fans.Amazing characters and world, but slightly suffers from the time travel being a bit too much constant back-and-forth.

If you missed out on the original game in 2011, the upcoming port is the perfect chance to play a modern classic.
