I absolutely love the combat system in this game. Its graphics are so crisp, and navigating through the timelines was a mechanic that I greatly appreciated, adding many layers to the story. Finally, something I must highlight is the character design; the character arts are beautiful! This title breaks away from the generic anime comfort zone that many games fall into and does something different and very well executed. The artists of this game did an excellent job!

In league with games like Chrono Trigger

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology FINISHED! 11/10 is a wonderful game! I had a TOTAL of 82:55 hours of game time until I did 100% of the time missions and bad endings and also the Possible world which is an addition to this version and leaves the game with a closed ending, it is very satisfying to see the hard work be finalized. Everything in the game has a closed ending without leaving any doubt in the player, and showing the end of each character in your party among others who helped you.

Lippti and Teo are intermediaries from that world where no matter what they did they only found misery, in countless timelines and always the world was destroyed by desertification, where the mana was being drained, and everything turned into sand and they only managed to end with this horrible ending thanks to the help of Stocke who became the bearer of the White Chronicles, Lippti and Teo are responsible for guiding Stocke through the timelines, avoiding any of them leading to the end of the world, a wrong decision, a villain killed in the wrong moment even a spy who is killed before his time would end up in a bad ending, this applies to members of your party as well when making the wrong choice ending you are saved and return to the gates of time, and with those memories saved and recorded in the White Chronicle, all your actions and missions are recorded in the book.

About your Party partners, for me, they are all unique and perfect! None are there to make numbers, all have an important role in the game's history, all have a goal.

About the story and writing of the game, all I have to say is praise, the exciting moments I can't count on one hand 😢 and the game is 100% dubbed from start to finish, which makes everything even more immersive and enjoyable. Let's face it, the game unfortunately doesn't have Japanese dubbing, I have no idea why at the time of the Nintendo 3DS, many localized games only had American dubbing, but I have to praise the Atlus team, they brought professionals who know how to dub a game and it was incredible!
I'm glad I discovered Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology

One of the best JRPGS period. The voice acting in this version brings new life compared to the original. One of the few games that does time travel in a way that doesn't feel too repetitive and wish more games followed its example. Its a must play if you like games like Chrono Trigger. Only critiscm is I prefer the original art style on the 3ds for a few of the characters but that's such a small gripe and doesn't bother me too much.

とても良かったですが、戦闘システムは楽しめませんでした

The best RPG the 3DS has to offer. Its turn-based combat is quite refreshing, and I had fun trying to maximize my combos and try to kill everything in one turn. The story also excellent and has great pacing (drags a bit in the midgame, but nothing too big), while most notably managing to do time travel without making the story a comvoluted mess. If you find yourself in a position to play 3DS games, I strongly suggest you at least give this game a go.

One part I'm not a fan of, though, is the content added in Perfect Chronology. In my opinion, it kinda lessens the original ending while also making the new ending a bit too convoluted for me. You can also easily tell what was in the original and what was in Perfect Chronology (this comes from a European player who couldn't get his hands on the original release on DS)
