This or snes classic rom?

[Eldoro]

Basically what the title sais, iv only played the start of the game through an snes rom, i have it now on my snes classic. Is there any real benefit in playing the steam version?

A few anime cutscenes that are absent in the Snes version and some extras (inclusing one extended ending) are good enough for me.

Plus, I lke the PC version's translation better, but this point is more subjective (and many would disagree).

You can mod this version and there are cutscenes and (some?) DS content.

I played 8 hours and did not have a single bug. I dont know the original one but I dont understand all those players who are complaining about bugs and so on. I really like the game, it has a really cool story and oldschool gameplay :3

The SNES one, hands-down, no competition. Especially on your SNES Classis - that's the next-best way there is to play Chrono Trigger save from an original cartridge into a good CRT TV.

With the SNES Classic, you can use Hakchi to set up a great bilinear filter without the scan-lines, which will give you something close to how CT originally looked on a CRT screen.



The Steam CT release is blasphemy against Chrono Trigger. The Steam CT version is a dumbed-down, dishevelled version of what is a great game on earlier platforms:

- The mini-games in the Steam CT version are made easier so that they can be completed with touch-screens.

- The colouring in the Steam PC version is messed up with pea-soup green filter over top of everything, just like it was in the NDS version ( https://imgur.com/eAfZ8wq )

- The Steam CT UIs are horrendous, inconsistent, ugly

- The Steam CT version has slowdowns, no matter how good your PC is

- Neither the filter or no-filter mode in the Steam CT version look good

- The time-travel animation is messed up in the Steam CT version

- The font is hideous and is almost non-readable in the Steam CT version

- If you re-map the gamepad buttons in the Steam CT version, the buttons become messed up

- The Steam CT version only has the NDS re-translation, and not the original SNES translation which I think is a lot better than the NDS re-translation

I don't care about the anime cutscenes, and in-fact I don't want them in the game. They are aftermarket additions, not designed or made by the original team, and they don't try to compliment to what happens in the game - instead, they contradict what happens in the game.

They're there to look Chrono-Triggery by showing the CT characters in scenarios that play off of what happens in the game, but they make up their own telling of those scenarios. And so, they don't make sens, and they're jarring and undermining of the game. I find them unhelpful to the game experience.

The NDS version of CT had an option to turn them off - which the Steam CT version definitely needs, along with a ton of other stuff that the Steam CT version needs.

The worst part about this port is the dark lineas around the characters. It make them look like ♥♥♥♥, imo.

snes rom is still better
