An authentic SNES Chrono Trigger experience — but refined, uncensored, updated, and bugfixed!
"Chrono Trigger: Refined Text Edition" is a purist-friendly vanilla-plus improvement hack that aims to create the best possible version of the game while still feeling authentic. Originally conceived as an addendum to the "Bugfix and Uncensoring Patch" by Chronosplit, it has since evolved—with Chronosplit’s blessing—into a fully standalone refinement project.
The guiding vision is to bring the text of the SNES version of Chrono Trigger up to the level of quality found in the Nintendo DS release—while preserving the charm and liveliness of Ted Woolsey’s original localization.
Building on the foundation of "Bugfix and Uncensoring", this hack corrects lingering script issues, aligns terminology with the DS version, refines Tech descriptions, and fixes flawed battle messages and item descriptions.
Note: check out the readme file for a list of alterations since it was a bit much to put into the description.
