This land is reminiscent of an MC Esher painting and a book in the form of the White Chronicle given to Stocke by his chief as a lucky charm ends up being so much more. Stocke is tasked with a mission from his Chief Heiss that leads to him not just witnessing his newly found companions die in front of his own eyes but also him being taken to a land where time stands still and where decisions can be remade and alternate paths followed to change history. Vainqueur has a threat of sand plague and Alistel and Granorg are about to go all out to try and capture what’s left to survive. You play as Stocke who is an agent in a time of war. If you’ve never heard of this game, a lot of people regard it as one of the last few well made classic style JRPGs the same way Bravely Default is spoken about. The DS original never saw a release outside North America in English. The biggest positive of this release is that it is releasing in Europe just a few days after North America. Now having played through the fully localized English version of Perfect Chronology, it has a lot working in its favour, but also a few questionable things.
After playing through a few hours of the 3DS remake in Japanese (and not understanding much story), I went back to the DS game and played a whole lot more. In fact I even imported the Japanese collector’s edition of both these games just because they put out such fantastic packages. Strange Journey and Radiant Historia were the only non Etrian Atlus games left on the DS that hadn’t seen ports to 3DS and they actually ended up doing remakes of both. When Atlus announced the 3DS remake Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, I was initially glad I waited. I had always planned on revisiting it but never ended up doing so. It reminded me a bit of the golden era Square games and just the PS1 era in general.
I didn’t play much initially because I’m great at starting multiple games at once and only finishing a few of them while the others go into the backlog.Įven with my few hours of play time, I knew this would be something special. After slowly getting into Atlus games, Radiant Historia was a name that always popped up in recommendations so I eventually bought a copy of the DS version. When I got my 3DS a few years ago, one of the big draws was the Nintendo DS catalogue of RPGs that would all be playable without any real issues as opposed to how poorly PSP games on Vita are handled when it comes to the catalogue available.
