_________________________ “Truly, the developers took inspiration from the finest, and somehow didn't just deliver a carbon copy of the originals, but something that transcends them in many ways.
To those unfamiliar with this hidden gem, Perfect Chronology represents a new chapter in your very own White Chronicle where you can return to the past with all your new experiences and finally learn that Radiant Historia is one the best JRPGs you've never played.
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is more than fans could ask for in a remaster of an already great game. If in any case, you happened to have looked over Radiant Historia in the past or just kept it in your backlog all these years, it's time you give Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology a try.

While the new story content is largely superfluous, several quality-of-life enhancements work to make a remarkable game even better
When it comes to turn-based RPGs, Radiant Historia manages to hit all the right points that makes it a well-rounded title.
The passage of time has done nothing to diminish the beauty of this fantastic RPG.
The original DS game isn't exactly dated, but the additions here are interesting and fun, even if a little unneeded. The new content mostly just seems more like the result of a development team revisiting an old project than anything else. The core game here is already so strong and so engrossing that more content is good no matter how necessary it might be. I'm thrilled Radiant Historia is back on a modern system, especially since the new release is now the best, definitive way to experience a masterful RPG.
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is one of the finest games on the 3DS, one of the finest RPGs in its genre, and one of the finest remakes of all time. The lack of modification done to the sprites will surely sour some, but it's arguably for the best, as it preserves the aesthetic identity of an already great looking adventure. The amazing combat system is thankfully left untouched, the new scenario offers more than its weight in gameplay, and the optional nature of most of the new content means anyone uninterested in the changes can simply find comfort in an amazing base experience. Radiant Historia was good enough where it didn't need a remake, but it's wonderful it got anyway.
This is an intense, clever, thoughtful and intellectually challenging JRPG that should remind people that when it comes to this genre, visual presentation and even the gameplay itself aren't the drawcard. It's that story that counts, and Radiant Historia manages to achieve something truly remarkable in giving players a time travelling plot that is genuinely interesting and worthwhile.
The 3DS may be seeing less games nowadays, but Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology shows that the system isn't running out of quality games any time soon.

It’s smart, built around a great plot, exciting battles and awesome time-travel mechanics.
Some minor issues aside, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology was immensely fun to play, and I found myself having trouble putting it down. While the new additions may not be worth a $40 price tag on their own if you’re already familiar with the original, if you happened to miss out on it before, do yourself a favor and pick this up.
I now know why Radiant Historia is on so many "Best JRPGs of All Time" lists. It's a true classic, and Perfect Chronology has only made it better. Before you say goodbye to your 3DS, make sure you play this one.
