I was thinking . . . How bout Earthbound for an Endurance Run? Patrick and Ryan again. I think it'd be awesome.

I stopped watching early on, but watching the final episode was fun.
I'd love a Souls endurance run with Vinny (it's a shame he's already played them through) and Ryan.

That's the least offensive thing about that ending, since CT originally pushed those two together HARD.

Yeah I just saw the ending... I'm guessing that kid is in Chrono Cross
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh I hope to god they one day make a sequel that a) keeps the cast and b) ignores the dumb-as-all-fuck intentionally loose threads the game throws up

What happens to them?

I think that's a good idea, but with Jeff and Vinny instead. They are both due.

Off-screen deaths at beginning of game
I refuse to play that game out of principle

That was a good time.
I think it'd be fun if they combined the idea of an Endurance Run with Breaking Brad and had him go after the Golden God achievement in Super Meat Boy.

Yeah and then
Dalton turns Porre into a military superpower, destroys Guardia, Crono and Marle go missing (a lot of people assume that they die but the game really hints otherwise). Schala fuses with Lavos and becomes the Time Devourer, Magus gets thrown forward in time and becomes a magician (but not really but yes really), and Schala's reincarnation clone spirit gets adopted by Lucca (who gets murdered by a cat person). The cat person is made from a computer made by Balthasar using Robo as a component, and your dad!
Their bodies are mutilated.

Their heads are stuck on pikes to strike fear into the populace.
Yep, secret area in Porre if you enter the cheat code via Game Genie.

Robo's AI is used in the Prometheus Circuit and FATE destroys him. At the end of CC since all the timelines are fixed, he's still alive. Guardia falls to Porre who got help from Dalton, but Lucca's letter to Kid implies that Crono, Marle and Lucca are alive somewhere.
I like this explanation better. :lol

Antiquity is easily the most boring part of Chrono Trigger (beyond the initial WTF moment of going there and Chrono's death scene) so basing the sequel around Schala just seems awful to me

Do you like Chrono Cross, Dark Schala? I can't tell.

No, the worst thing about the sequel was that everyone had weird alien looking things for pets instead of cats.

You have to admit that it makes sense, though, since no one knew what happened to her in the "post-Crono and friends go to Zeal and alter history" timeline since she didn't save herself and ended up saving everyone else.
I'll admit that I wanted to know what happened to her, but the events of Chrono Cross with her and Kid were not what I was expecting at all.
I like the audio and visual presentation since I really like Yasunori Mitsuda and Yasuyuki Honne, and I think the battle system is interesting.
I... don't care much for the subplots at all. Parts of the main plot I'm okay with. I guess you could say I like Chrono Cross for what it is since I've recently stopped playing RPGs for the story first and foremost. :lol Edit: I do think people should give it a chance and not expect "Chrono Trigger" out of it, because it's rather competent gameplay and presentation-wise.
In terms of narrative canon, I prefer Radical Dreamers' narrative over Chrono Cross's.

Thanks, I'll be sure never to play Chrono Cross.
I'd at the very least give it a shot if you loved CT.

You're not wrong, but you're missing a vital bit of info: I didn't care about Schala at all.
Of course that's highly subjective but her relatively brief appearance and the fact she basically seemed designed to meet a tragic end didn't really help me give a hoot.Not exactly the best argument to make when it completely spits on CT.

Is Schala's Theme even in Chrono Cross? Considering that was the best peice from Chrono Trigger, it would crazy not to use it, right? RIGHT?
It was also criminally underused in Chrono Trigger, btw.

That is the ending that I remember (since the PSX version is the only version I've played).
Did all of the NG+ endings have video endings as well? I checked and it didn't look like I had a NG+ save on any of my memory cards

Y'all should play Radical Dreamers for an ideal ending to the Chrono series and make it your personal canon.
In that sense, Chrono Trigger can simply act as a standalone title since the ending basically wrapped everything up in a nice package for the whole party, except Magus, of course.

Perhaps it might be more enticing to say that you might not even realize what's happening, given how the plot was presented. The density of plotpoints being thrown at you in CC is pretty thick and fast and occasionally in giant blocks of paragraphs.
I'm not really trying to convince anyone to play CC.

Well I killed Magus on my playthrough so yeah. :lol

Not even arranged. Not even for Life~A Distant Promise.
Given that Richard Honeywood had to approach Kato to rewrite parts of the script to expand on certain points, or to remove areas that contradicted each other, I don't think Cross's plot ever really made much sense unless you sat down and thought about it for a while. At least, that's how my 12-year-old mind thought of it.Aexact said:

No. No there isn't.

You can count Crimson Echoes if you want, even if it's a rather verbose fangame.
I thought it was nicely-made for a fangame.
I really don't understand why the went on to make a game about Schala at all. She was hardly in this game and didn't really do anything anyway. They could have just said that she died when Lavos fucked up the Water Palace (Which is what I thought happened in the first place until I read the Chrono Cross spoilers) and come up with something else for the sequel instead of turning an insignificant little thing into this massive convoluted story.You're not wrong, but you're missing a vital bit of info: I didn't care about Schala at all.

oh right i forgot the part in chrono cross where you find out that
and then halfway through the game
there's an alternate timeline where lavos never came and the reptites became the dominant species and built a big city with a machine called the dragon god that controlled nature and then belthasar's time traveling city fucked up time and the two cities fought and then the dragons seeded an archipelago with life or created the archipelago or something.
and then halfway through the game
you and the cat-machine-dad switch bodies and you lose all your party members except for gaining a harlequin girl who aggressively wants to jump your cat bones. and then she turns out to be a nature dragon for the god machine controlled by schala-lavos too.
