Earlier this week, the Playstation version of Chrono Trigger arrived on the Japanese Playstation Network, "on schedule," according to andriasang. While that's good news in and of itself for Chrono Trigger fans, the official North American Playstation blog announced the very next day that the English-language version would be available on PSN next Tuesday, as well.

Of course, since this is a PSN release, you are in fact getting the Playstation version of the game - while this adds the quality animated cutscenes from that version, there's also a chance that it will come with the gameplay lag common to Square's PSX port from the original SNES version. It also will lack any of the bonus content added to the Nintendo DS version.

In related news, the author of the Playstation blog post also hints very heavily down in the comments at Chrono Cross joining Trigger on the PSN in the very near future.

I've always wondered how the Chrono franchise is doing. I was having a conversation over on IJBM about how the different major RPG brands were doing, and I realized that, what with the Chrono franchise not having a new game in like forever. That said, maybe we could use the sales of things like CTDS, WiiWare!CT and PSN!CT and PSN!CC to gauge its continued market and fandom presence.

To be honest, if I could find the spare time, this would be my second purchase ever on the PS Network (the first being Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare).

That would be awesome to replay, as long as the aforementioned lag wasn't too distracting of a problem.

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone
