''Radical Dreamers'' preceded ''Chrono Cross'', a full [[role-playing video game]] sequel to ''Chrono Trigger''. Masato Kato cited the desire to "redo ''Radical Dreamers'' properly" as the genesis of ''Cross'', attributing the latter's serious atmosphere to the former.<ref name="easteregg" /><ref name="radicaldreamers">{{cite web|date=1999-07-24 |title=Weekly Famitsu |url=http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Weekly_Famitsu.html |work=Chrono Compendium |access-date=1 July 2006 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060721173402/http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Weekly_Famitsu.html |archive-date=21 July 2006 }}</ref> Kato's desire to finish the story of the characters Kid and Serge principally shaped the plot of ''Cross''.<ref name="crossost" /> Several events in ''Chrono Cross'', such as the infiltration of Viper Manor, were also a direct reference to events in ''Radical Dreamers''.

This idea was scrapped due to difficulties in representing the story of Magus among the game's numerous other characters; the unrelated, enigmatic magician Guile was created instead.<ref name="gameprointerview" />
