History YMMV / RadicalDreamers

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Being scored by Creator/YasunoriMitsuda (his second project), it should come as no surprise that the soundtrack is phenomenal. What is surprising is just how cinematic and atmospheric it manages to be, despite the limitations of its 16-bit hardware and SNES sound chip. Several of the best songs were alluded to or repackaged wholesale for ''Chrono Cross'' (see the MusicalNod entry on that page for more details), but some - such as "Days of Summer", "Final Confrontation", and "The Organ" - are unique to this game.
** "Gale" counts as well, being vastly superior to its counterpart in Chrono Cross.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The Kid and the Sunflower scenario can end with [[spoiler: Kid's soul being sealed into a knife and Magil performing a ritual in order to reincarnate her, listing several of the possible species - and in particular suggesting the [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lavoid]] - wait, did you just create the [[VideoGame/ChronoCross Time Devourer]]?]]

* FanTranslation: Demiforce did one from Japanese to English, which later got worked from English to French and German by others. The patch makes a [[http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Easter_Eggs_(Radical_Dreamers).html few]] [[http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Radical_Dreamers_Translation_Differences.html changes]], notably making the game [[DifficultyByRegion slightly]] [[OneHitKill harder]].

** Truthfully, Magil in general if you compare the game to ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''. Even before the end of the game, not only has he clearly mellowed out ''a lot'' as of late, but the scene with Zorander suggests he feels some guilt over his actions as [[spoiler: Magus]], and when questioned about [[spoiler: Glenn]], while not sure if he should consider him a friend, he states that he doesn't consider him an enemy, at the least. Awww....

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The main story's ending is this in part: although Kid and Magil depart from Serge, [[spoiler: Kid has regained her memory as Schala Zeal, with the established revelation that Magil was her brother Janus (Magus) all along. ]] Considering that ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' largely fails to deliver on all of this, it's nice to see that there is at least one Chrono canon where [[spoiler: Schala's fate]] was not only resolved, but [[spoiler: Magus's search for her actually paid off in full, returning to him the big sister he cared so much for.]] Now if only the heartfelt moment could happen in-game, ''before'' leaving Serge behind, so we could actually see it...

* CompleteMonster: Lynx, in some of the scenarios, at least. [[spoiler:Burning down orphanages, mantaining a man in captivity until his mind degenerated into insanity or using his own daughter as sacrifice to invoke an evil force,]] just for a few examples of what he's capable of.
