Before we start today's show, we have to talk about Chronocross.

0:02.5

We're not ready for the deepest dive yet, but there is an event happening in the mobile game,

0:07.6

and it's also on Steam. It's a free JRPG called another Eden, which is a crossover event

0:12.4

with actually the world of Chronocross. It's called a complex dream.

0:16.0

So you can jump in there and play and reunite with your old favorite characters like

0:18.9

Serge, Kid, Harley, Glenn, Lynx. Some people probably like Lynx.

0:23.8

And the cool thing is, for certain sections here, it actually takes elements from

0:26.9

Chronocross, like the field effects in battle, like the little circles with different colors

podcast? Very easy, yes, for somebody that loves Chronocross as much as I do.

0:56.2

So if you're interested in this type of thing, you can always check out another Eden

0:59.0

that can't be on time in space on mobile or on Steam. Let us know what you think.

1:03.0

And if you want to learn more, you can go to bit.ly slash minmaxae.

1:06.8

There's a link in the description for you.

1:26.8

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the minmax show, a place about games,

1:31.9

friends getting better. I'm Ben Hansen joined by Leo Vater.
