Spanish Chrono Trigger Confirms It IS A Mobile Port

Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger is by many considered to be one of the best JRPG’s ever made. I must confess that I have personally never played it, at least, not long enough to really get anywhere.

Following a launch on PC in February, however, the reception has been very poor and it seems that a top of theories has finally been confirmed.

Mobile Port

Much of the criticism was led at the design of the game which some compared to a bad RPG maker game. A number of people, however, suspected that rather than a true PC version, it was merely a lazy port of the pre-existing mobile version.

Well, following some Spanish gamers playing the game, it seems that that theory has been confirmed.

‘Don’t turn off the phone’

In a report via DSOGaming, on the save game display in the Spanish version, it supplies the message “Saving Data – Do Not Turn off Your Phone”.

While this has seemingly been removed from other language versions, it seems that Square Enix, or whoever they paid to port it, didn’t double check their localization work.

A bad version of an excellent game

Having played a little of the remake, I can confirm, it isn’t great. My advice, as would be similar to many others would be to either play the actual mobile port or to try it on an emulator.

The PC version available on Steam is simply awful and that should be criminal for such an iconic game.
