Chrono Trigger: Refined
A text-focused polish of the SNES Chrono Trigger that cleans up the English script, restores censored lines and brings names and terms in line with the DS version, while keeping the feel of the original localization.
What it does
Chrono Trigger: Refined, also called the Refined Text Edition, is a vanilla-plus hack by Furo_19 for the SNES version of Chrono Trigger. It leaves the gameplay alone and concentrates on the words on screen.
It began as an add-on to Chronosplit's bugfix and uncensoring patch and grew, with that author's approval, into a standalone project that already includes those fixes. On top of them it:
- corrects script problems that remained in the SNES localization;
- uses the terminology of the later Nintendo DS release where the two differ;
- rewrites Tech descriptions and fixes faulty battle messages and item descriptions.
The goal is a script that reaches the polish of the DS translation while keeping the personality of the original English version. The full list of changes is in the readme that comes with the patch.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the North American SNES release, following the instructions that come with it.
