/vr/ - Retro Games

Absolutely a true and important point I didn't consider in my post. Oftentimes the third game (or whichever comes directly after the black sheep) is a return to form and hailed by fans as the greatest in the series; Link to the Past and Curse of Dracula being easier examples. Could easily see this changing perceptions of a game like Cross from "bastard son bullshit" to "misunderstood black sheep" in the minds of those to whom such a thing is important.

I could imagine that if Chrono Break had come out, been a return to the Trigger formula and hands-down the JRPG of the generation, a lot of people who hold against Cross this idea that it "ruined the Chrono name" would probably chill the fuck out.
