Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Re: Wanted to share how I feel about Chrono Cross, and why.
« on: August 22, 2012, 01:46:19 am »
I agree that Chrono Cross is a pretty depressing and confusing game. That said, I actually like that aspect about it. Not so much the depressing part, but how complex the storyline is. There are a lot of games out there that are just put down after completion; finish game, get full story, that's it. But, of all the games I've played, Chrono Cross is the only one that actually made me think about its plot, confuse me, and seek answers. I like how it has given me that challenge.
I know a lot of people say that the convoluted plot is a sign that the developers were lazy or something. Sure, it could be laziness, but I like the idea that perhaps the developers wanted their players to figure out the plot on their own.
I also really enjoyed, and still do, the music score in Chrono Cross. I think that was probably my biggest motivation to keep playing it when I first got it. And, uh, I'm probably going to get some crap for this, but I like Lynx. Not for how he's a jerk, but his character design.

This stuff is really hard to imagine, ha, ha. Guess that's what makes it interesting, though...
I'm going to explain this as I understand it. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this, because I want to be very clear about what happened.
The "Salt for the Dead Sea" article on this site makes it sound like Chronopolis and Dinopolis aren't physically moved by the time crash. It sounds like some kind of wormhole is created and ends up connecting the Sea of Eden/Chronopolis from 2400 A.D., to the year 12,000 B.C.
Anything from the year 12,000 B.C. that passes through this invisible wormhole would, without knowing it, time travel and could come into contact with the Sea of Eden/Chronopolis.
If my understanding is right, then that would help clear up other confusions as well. I would understand why Chronopolis would want to prevent itself from being discovered. Wouldn't want another war, right?
As stated above, if there is something wrong with my understanding of these events, please correct me.

Thank you. I think I understand. It sounds like even though Crono and Co. would save the world in the future, the planet was showing them what would happen if they didn't intervene with Lavos (that might not have been the actual case, but that idea visually/mentally makes sense to me). I probably should have figured that out on my own, but its been a long time since I've played CT...
Yeah, Belthasar's "presence" in Home World is kinda strange now that you mention it... This game leaves more questions than answers, but I'm going to leave that one alone for now.
I have another question: I've read about the counter-time experiment and the time crash. I think what I'm having trouble understanding visually is how Chronopolis and Dinopolis aren't necessarily physically moved, but just end up with that same space-time coordinates. Is that like saying it was just time itself that was changed for those places to make them exist during the same time period? Even if that's the case, that still doesn't make sense because if neither place physically moves, then how can either place war with each other?
Ugh, my brain.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Chrono Cross - Lavos' Existence in Home World
« on: August 21, 2012, 01:03:30 am »
Hey, this is my first post. Nice to meet everybody.
I've recently regained interest in Chrono Cross and have been doing extensive research on the game (though I'm having a lot of trouble understanding certain aspects due to the language used on this site. Ex. The Dead Sea).
There is one part in particular that I would like some clarification on... Based on what I've read here, because Serge's existence in Home World means that Crono and his team never fought or discovered Lavos because they technically didn't exist to begin with, wouldn't that also mean that Lavos never existed? I mean, if everything that occurred before the year 1010 A.D is just a carbon copy of the past, wouldn't that also suggest that the story of Lavos would only exist in history texts, but couldn't happen?
I've looked on this site for an answer, but am not finding anything that explains this. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
