Ascending/Descending a particular area numerous times and killing the same enemy encounters multiple times is not fun at all. Terrible for exactly the reasons Kurt mentioned. I notice nothing particularly bad about the DS versions translation and I haven't really played the SNES version so I can't make a comparison.Ģ) Audio quality, the SNES is capable of much better quality music then the DS though the DS version does a respectable job in my opinion.ģ) DS version contains some pretty cool cut scenes/videos from the Playstation version, SNES version uses significantly simpler cut scenes/animations for story elements.Ĥ) DS version allows you to place menus/HUD on separate screen making the game nice and clean looking, in the SNES version has everything on the one screen and it looks very cramped.ĥ) More endings to unlock in the DS version.Ħ) Terrible bonus content is available in the DS version. The only major differences between the 2 versions are:ġ) Translation. I've only played the DS version to completion and had a quick look at the SNES version and found its interface fugly. I agree with kurt91 with regards to the bonus content in the DS version, other then that the second screen really helps keep the games interface clean and tidy. Even so, I preferred the DS version slightly because the second screen helped the aesthetics somewhat. It's truly horrible, and the only major advantage it has over the original is portability. (of course, if you're using a DS flash card, then that advantage is moot) Second, when you've finished, you can use the ROM to play the Crimson Echoes hack, a very high-quality fan-made sequel that ties the game into Chrono Cross, supposedly very well.īasically, don't take the bonus content into account if you're trying to decide on the DS version. First off, if you decide to download it as a ROM, it's completely free. The SNES version has two advantages of its own. However, you do get an extra ending that's supposed to tie things better into Chrono Cross, if you're interested in playing that one as well. You'll end up either exploring re-used rooms for the most part, or backtracking 100 times (no joke) up and down the same godforsaken mountain area. There's also the bonus content, although it sucks. Having the second screen makes everything look cleaner, in my opinion. The translation got tweaked, so Frog isn't as much of an annoyance (others my disagree, but I didn't like how he used "Ye Olde English"). If you're only into canon stuff and the price isn't an issue, I would advise playing the DS version. I've played both games to the first ending.
