A great version of this game. The combat is still some of the best in JRPG history, the music is fantastic, and the story still holds up really well.
The Lost Sanctum content feels like a pointless content grind, with you having to go back and forth, over and over again, between a small number of screens. There are some really good items, but this section of the game is extremely tedious and without a lot of care. Thank goodness it's very optional content and has little bearing on the story whatsoever.
Dimensional Vortex is fairly interesting, in that helps to try and connect to Chrono Cross. It's a weird tie-in, and I can see the appeal, but it really wasn't for me.
The extras section is still a nice feature, but I miss it gradually unlocking, like it did in the PSX version. As well as this, the extras menu music from that and the DS version is missing (at least from an initial playthrough unlock), which is unfortunate, because they were really nice songs. I also would have like the combo section, but that's something that can be looked up, so I can't complain too much. Still, it's nice to have what's here.
The base game still is what you're going to be here for, and it still does deliver an enjoyable experience, whether it's your first time playing, or your 50th.
