Dragon Quest X Offline Fun-Size Forge Accessory Synthesis

Square Enix is back again with another information drop for Dragon Quest X Offline, this time covering Fun-Size Forge and Accessory Synthesis. New details and screenshots have surfaced for these two gameplay features.

Here’s the roundup of tidbits, courtesy of Gematsu:

Live A Live Prehistory

Square Enix is offering a new look at the Live A Live remake for Switch with two new trailers showing Prehistory and Imperial China.

In the RPG, players can experience seven stories featuring a variety of protagonists, time periods, and gameplay styles. Each one can be experienced in any order. Other stories include The Wild West, Twilight of Edo Japan, Present Day, The Near Future, and The Distant Future.

Live A Live HD-2D

Following the announcement of Live A Live’s HD-2D remake, Japanese magazine Famitsu sat down with original director Takashi Tokita, to talk about the game’s development.

The new Switch version served as the perfect opportunity to re-release the game, something the team tried to do many times over the years. Tokita dove into a number of other topics as well including why the team settled on the HD-2D art style.

Here’s our translation of the excerpt from Famitsu:

Triangle Strategy update 1.0.3

A new 1.0.3 update has gone out for Triangle Strategy, Square Enix’s tactical RPG. Nintendo and Square Enix have shared the official patch notes, though they aren’t very exciting.

According to Nintendo: “Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.” Unfortunately, the patch notes don’t dive into any specifics. It’s unclear what problems have been addressed specifically, but you’ll want to install the patch for the best experience.

Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition frame rate resolution

Chrono Cross finally made a comeback this week with The Radical Dreamers Edition, and Digital Foundry has since taken a closer look at the remaster by examining aspects such as frame rate and resolution. Unfortunately, what Square Enix delivered is a bit of a mixed bag – especially due to disappointing performance.

It turns out that the game’s frame rate can go extremely low, performing even worse than the PS1 original. AI upscaling that was used also results in an image that doesn’t always look the best.

Chrono Cross The Radical Dreamers Edition trailer

Square Enix seems to have put in a good amount of work for the remaster. In terms of visuals, 3D models have been converted to HD, character illustrations have been refined, and there’s now a background filter feature. Players can also choose between an imitation pixel font and HD font as well as different screen resolutions. Also included is higher-quality background music, an option to turn enemy encounters on or off, a battle enhancement features to make combat easier, and a new auto-battle function.
