Chrono Trigger – Patch #3 is now available, featuring UI and battle improvements

Chrono Trigger PC Patch #3 Release Notes

• The UI has been further updated for those using a controller or keyboard in a number of areas:
• Whilst moving on the world map, in towns and in dungeons.
• How options in dialog are displayed.
• Shop screens.
• Whilst selecting a time period to visit.
• In mini-games too.
• Improvements have been made to battles
• You can now flip between pages within menus with single button presses.
• Available techs are immediately updated when recovering MP.
• The duration the explanation window is shown at the top of the screen has been extended.
• Changes have been made to the priority for which information is shown first when there are multiple messages in explanation windows.
• A bug where some controls would still respond while the game is paused in battle has been fixed.
• Following the last update, we’ve continued to improve gameplay speed in areas where it previously slowed down.
• The difficulty has been made more forgiving in specific mini games during story events.
• Controller input is now disabled when the game is not active.
• Additional minor bug fixes.

At least they are working on fixing the atrocious PC port of Chrono Trigger. This is a huge step in the right direction, but I still don't think it's enough. Not to mention it feels like a lot of these things should have been fixed a long time ago, like before release. It took them this long to fix controller input affecting the game when you're not in the game?

I'm just glad they're doing something about this horrible port of Chrono Trigger, it's one of my favorite games and seeing the PC port of Chrono Trigger end up like it has is a disservice to such a beloved game. But thank you Square Enix for working to make the PC port of Chrono Trigger better.
