Title: The Field
Post by: Legend of the Past on July 29, 2005, 02:38:39 pm
I was just wandering, what defines what colors will be on the field in the begining of the battle?

on CT their is no field so ill go with CC, does the field not represent the area in which you got into the fight?

I don't think ao, because sometimes you'll find colors opposite of that area's attribute.

any chance you could give an example  :roll: , does this only happen in certain areas?

You think I remember specific cases? I don't really look on the field until I need to summon...

:shock: okay so youve noticed the field being diferent to the area you started the fight in, but you have no evidence of any sort to back this, of which the only way you could identify the situation would be if someone else had already noticed this flaw and found a logical explanation, maybe you should go back and get some evidence of this, but this most likely take a while and be for practically no reason.

No reason? Here in the Compendium, if it has something to do with Chrono, there is no such term "No reason"!

okay!  :shock: its just it has no relevance to the story or anything really, the field is merely there to make the game look better...

Besides, I found out I was right in two minutes.

Location: Sea of Eden, Clotho Isle
Enemy: Vita Unus
Party: Serge, Karsh, Glenn
Field: Green, white, white

And we're talking about an Isle. A landmass surrounded by water. Plus the statues made of stone, and the trees around it. Thus it might be Blue, Yellow, Green, but it's not.

Enough evidence, or do you need more?

In reply to your post: It's important for the Elements, which have weight in the story.

erm well your asking the wrong guy, ive no idea what the sea of eden looks like and what you mean be green white white yellow green yellow, so... yeh your right! this is an atrocity, my god someone figure out what is going on here, maybe the field is just random depending on what zone your in, i mean for instance if your on an island, even if your in the middle of it you could get a field with the beach, does that tie in with what is occuring?
Title: The Field
Post by: Legend of the Past on July 29, 2005, 06:22:46 pm
Not so much... The SoE Isles are small (Except for Chronopolis, of course),  and there is only one battle that can be fought on one spot, so no, you can't really get a different view... And no matter where you are in a certain zone. If you're in the first screen in Lizard Rock or the second one, you get the same battle screen.

And... If you have no knowledge of CC, why bother answer a question about it? No offense, I just want you to avoid making a fool of yourself. Answer questions of CT, I'm sure you can answer them wisely. But not of something you have no clue of...

Commenting to no end about CC is good. :D

Yeah, kazmaka, if you don't know about CC or the field (although, really Legend, you should have specified what you meant), then you shouldn't have wasted the thread so much.

Although, honestly, I think the magic field is just random when you start er up. Although there are probably safe-guards ensureing that no three-in-a-rows occur...I don't recall ever seeing any...do they happen? I don't remember too well...

Not to me... Well, I guess they can program the code to make sure at least one color is different from the other two. Still, random makes sense, but maybe another explanation? I wanna be sure we've looked at this from all  directions.

I've never seen them be 3 in a row. This might be a task for you to up and complete LotP, take lots of notes on enemies and chrater combinations and the like. I personally think that it is random, but with the Chrono series almost anything is possible.

Post by: Legend of the Past on July 30, 2005, 05:01:46 pm
Taking notes on anything... Bah, I'll guess I'll try. A lot less free time now, But I'd have to try... Let's see... New Game+ will make these very easy...
But again I say, it's not that hard to arrange the code so at least one color is different.

What? They've already h4x0r'd it, right? I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere...Try GameFAQs or something...they normally got the 1337 folks over there :P or maybe somewhere else...

Actually I'm pretty sure the field colors are pre-determined.

I remember many times going into a certain area because it had a black color for its third slot every time (I needed it to make summoning the Grim Reaper easier).  Also I believe the last area in (wow totally forgot its name) the lava-cavern you go run through before you get to Fort Dragonia is always red-black-red.  

The grid (in my experience) mostly seems to be somewhat related to the area its in (like the lava cave being red-black-red, makes sense) but once in awhile will be completly random.

I tend to get randomness.  

However, I have noticed something wierd:  In my game, after a third boss battle, the third-to-last element color cast will be on the field for the next few battles.  Maybe it's just my game, but it always happens with me.

I think that is just your game cause that has never happend to me.
     The field is determined by the surroundings. Bright environments may have white, dark caves and such may have black. Tropical areas, green. Water areas well blue... Yellow.. polluted.. or sand. Red for areas with alot of fire or heat energy.
