199 Chrono Cross (NSW) Discussion; Interview w/ John Paul Hayward (Cross Symphonic Tribute Album)

Update: 2025-09-01

Description

Episode 199 is the delayed discussion of Chrono Cross - The Radical Dreamers Edition on Nintendo Switch. It’s a non-spoiler talk of the characters, story, gameplay, graphics & art, and the OST & sound design. Afterwards, I share a written interview, adapted for audio (& read by me), with John Paul Hayward — most known for his Cross Symphonic: Symphonic Tribute to Chrono Cross album. Hope you enjoy!
