Title: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: ZeaLitY on June 18, 2005, 07:55:04 am
Should we ever get the chance to talk to him, we need to be prepared with questions.

1. What happened to Magus?
2. What is the outside force that assisted Porre in defeating Guardia?
3. Where did Radius, Fargo, Zappa and Garai serve in 1005 A.D.?

Those are mine. Let's decide on others.

.What happened to Dalton?

.Ask for never published works like short story or anything in his possession.

-How can the Guardia line paradox(es) be explained?

Post by: V_Translanka on June 21, 2005, 10:20:15 pm
1. a. Kurono Brake?
1. b. Pretty please?
2. a. Is the Dream Team ever going to reunite?
2. b. and would you like it to?
3. Do you know if there's as big a cult following in Japan for the Chrono series as there is in North America?

Also, I think it may be important, if the Compendium ever does get to talk to him that we use as many of the Japanese names as to avoid confusion as Kato may be unawares of some or many of the changes that were made.

1) Do Crono, Marle, and Lucca die in the Ideal Timeline?
2) Is Spekkio a true god?
3) Does Kid merge with Schala after the events in Cross, or are they separate beings?

Yes, that is quiet confusing. In the ending it seemes as if Schala and Kid speak in the same voice (You know what I mean), but then you see in the ending cineamtic (After all the game scenes) Kid sailing away on Korcha's boat. Very confusing.

He's already been asked this in another interview I know...He was fairly elusive about giving an exact answer though...

Q: What's w/the change w/Sara (/Schala)'s hair color exactly?
Q: Who would you like to work w/on a new Chrono game?
Q: Would you like to work on another Chrono game?

I think that it was so blatently obvious in the Japanese version that asking such a question (that he's actually probably already been asked) would probably just be more like an insult.

Yeah, plus it seems it was so obvious that it wasn't even refered as "the entity" at all (just "it" and words like that). The entity name was added in the American version (actually it's also a common word, it's entity not Entity).

Yes, I know it is me.  :lol:

I believe the Entity is either Queen Zeal's soul or the Earth, I've already said that, I still believe it, but this is not the subject of the current thread.

Chrono 99> Yeah, it is entity, not Entity, but the second one sounds like God  :wink:

well, correct me if im wrong but...isnt the "Entity" (the capital is meant to be there) a God? of course it would be, its an entity (yes, the lower case is there for a reason) that is invisible and has supreme power over time and can manipulate events. Doesnt that say he is a God?
Title: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: V_Translanka on July 22, 2005, 08:31:45 am
I dunno if i'd say either "invisible" or "supreme"...much less "he"...but yeah, pretty much.

If not a god, then at the very least, god-like.
Title: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: DarkGizmo on July 22, 2005, 12:52:44 pm
I would say it's not a God sicne it can be killed, but it will make a "déjà-vu", so I will jsut say the entity is the planet therefore not a god, but kinda god-like like said earlier
Title: Priority questions for Masato Kato

Nice one, we would have discussed an answer to this on the  thread in Characters Plots and Themes, but we all got off-topic as per usual at the Compendium. The Gaspar: Guru of Time is a good thread to make example of, I was there from the beginning so I can tell how different things became. We started at Gaspar, went to the EoT itself, Spekkio then somehow got onto the topic of Elements. ^_^

Yeah, people should stop hijacking threads and instead make new threads when a new point is raised or, more likely, find the proper thread where said new point should be discussed...er...I'M NOT HIJACKING THIS, HONEST!!!

Uh, I just wanted to point out that yeah, we discussed the whole god or not a god in my Demon God thread in the Lavos, the Planet, & other Entities forum. While there are/have been immortal gods, there are/have also been mortal gods.

It depends.  Were you born with a spelling impediment? ;)

There's a problem with this question.  Mainly, most of the terminology we use is stuff we've made up, and then collectivly agreed upon to refer to it as.  I have a strong feeling if we asked him about "The Lavos timeline" he would give us a bunch of weird looks.  Same with the Keystone-1,2, Time Bastard, etc.

Exactly. It's not Crono can't talk... It's more like he has no motivation to talk... I mean, seeing my newfound friend on whom I have a crush on disapear in thin air would leave me speechless. Seeing a spikey thing destroy my world would, too. Being attacked by an half naked cave-woman would leave me rather shocked. And, so on and so forth...

Whoohoooooo! This is going to be funny! ^_^

Serious, funny, weird, or whatever else Dragoness's questions!:

Did the home world and another world merge in "good" ending?

What happen the Einlanzer if the worlds did merge?

Does Glenn still keep the Einlanzer?

Does everyone forget what they did in Chrono Cross at the end?

Are you going to keep use the name Glenn for a name for a character in the games?

What is going to be the new legendary sword for Chrono 3?

What does ZOAH look like under the helmet?

Who thought up ZOAH's outfit?

....Did he really had to wear a metal thong(That what it look like to me. >_>)?

How did Frog turn back to a human in FFC anime ending?

Are you ever going do a remake of Chrono Cross?

WHY ISN'T THERE MORE INTERACTION WITH GLENN AND DARIO!? DARIO SHOULD AT LEAST SAID HELLO TO HIS BROTHER! ...Er, sorry about that. >_>

WHAT MADE YOU THOUGHT OF THE IDEA OF ZOAH TALKING LIKE THIS? IT IS COOL!

What is the bend of time?

Am I annoying you with all these questions?

Where did Glenn get that scar?

What is Glenn from Chrono Trigger true magic(As in not water.) if he wasn't a frog?

In the third game, are you going to have both magic and elements?

Why you have one character in every game that is kinda of hard to tell what gender it is?(Flea and... maybe Nikki.)

Well, there ever be a female Glenn? :lol:

Is there ever going to be old man with a scythe that kick butt?  :P

Where did Garai die at?

Did Serge and Kid ever marry?

Who is ZOAH's parnets?

If the worlds merged... what is kept and not kept?

Does Dario still count as alive in the merged worlds?

Will we ever see Einlanzer's spirit?

Did any of the questions make sense?

Does Yellow(in sense. >_>) and Green count as Earth magic?(Yes.. I know! There no such thing as Earth magic in Chrono Trigger. >_> ...)

Are Elements gem type things?

Sorry if I repeat a question. >_>
Title: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: Kazuki on September 27, 2005, 06:05:34 pm
Some of those are answered in game...

1. Flea is a guy, as it is revealed in Chrono Trigger when you fight him.

2. What are elements? http://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=30&start=0, due to lack of time/energy

3. Garai died at the falls (forget the name) where the Masamune was found and where you create the Chrono Cross, killed by Radius

4. Dario is alive in Home World, and dead in Another.

5. Most every SE game has at least one Androgynous character (In response to your question about the difficult to tell genders.)
Title: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: Dragoness on September 27, 2005, 07:34:31 pm
Thank you! ^_^ There goes four Er.. make that five(:P) questions.

You do know Flea might be a female, and be playing with your mind? (Sorry if I was rude just then.)

And.... more questions.... that might be answered in the game. :P

Why did you make Ozzie's pants er... underware A HELM!?

Who thought of that evil idea?

Who in their right mind want to wear that thing?

Will we see more of Starky's people in the third game?

....Will Lavos somehow be the last boss, a third time?

Why... oh why... if Flea is a man... WHY DID YOU HAVE HIM AS A SHE IN CHRONO CROSS!?

edit: What happen to the Masamune in the end of Chrono Cross?

Does Serge still keep it?

What happen in ZOAH's past to make him wear that mask?

Will you ever tell us?

When Lucca refers to him as a girl, "she" replies very indignantly with "WHAT!? I'M A GUY!" As if he is offended by the fact, so I doubt there's any mind games being played.

And you're not being rude, challenging what people say can be good (Just don't turn it into a flame war >_>.)

Might I suggest actually reading the articles on the main site, or even reading the pages and pages of game script text that can be found at the top of this very forum when not signed in.  That should answer all your questions.  Or at least, give you a basis to ask better ones :)

I'm going to let that Alfador thing go just because you’re new and I hate when people bash the newbies.

By the way, am I the only one surprised that his screen name (chrono trigger) wasn’t already taken?  :?

Might I suggest actually reading the articles on the main site, or even reading the pages and pages of game script text that can be found at the top of this very forum when not signed in.  That should answer all your questions.  Or at least, give you a basis to ask better ones :)

I'm going to let that Alfador thing go just because you’re new and I hate when people bash the newbies.

By the way, am I the only one surprised that his screen name (chrono trigger) wasn’t already taken?  :?


what do you mean by that u are going to let it go?btw i am not here for bashing 2 man.they are few people that passionly play this game still to this day and i would be ridiculus to bash each other:)
btw mmy languange is not good because i am not american or english
and if u go to the gameqs forums and ask they will tell you that alfador is INDEED the entinty.its been confirmed.btw does anybody know the answers to my above questions?i will start a chrono cross again in 2-3 days cause now i finished trigger so i can remember a little the scenario and thats the reason that if an answer given to my questions exist in chrono cross i dont remember it(played it like 2-3 years ago and finished it 2 times only:( )

Alfador is most certainly not the Entity. That is a...misconception. The Planet is the Entity. It's a bit more vague in the English version of the game, but it is more clear in the Japanese text.

Was the Masamune found at the Divine Dragon Falls, or was it found at Denadaro Mts.?

If the above answer is "Divine Dragon Falls", how exactly did the Masamune get to El Nido?

Here's an interesting topic...

HOW THE HECK DID OZZIE, FLEA & SLASH END UP IN THE BEND OF TIME???!!!
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: AuraTwilight on June 21, 2006, 03:22:50 pm
A cameo!!!!!!!! LOLZ

The Bend of Time is only accessable in a New Game+ anyway, so it's probably not even canon.
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato

The Bend of Time is accessible in a New Game.
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: AuraTwilight on June 22, 2006, 02:43:54 pm
Oh :P Well that's what I get for using ROMs. Either way, the Bend of Time serves no plot significance, so I just ignore it.
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: ZeaLitY on June 22, 2006, 04:02:50 pm
The road to Masato Kato is open. But a Japanese speaker is needed.
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: Magus22 on June 23, 2006, 12:35:16 am
I think Masato Kato knows the basic english language. How is the "road" open?
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: ZeaLitY on June 23, 2006, 01:18:16 am
I have the blog of the Yasuyuki Honne. It'd be really easy to leave him a simple message asking if Kato takes any e-mails from fans.
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: Magus22 on June 23, 2006, 07:28:29 pm
I wasn't aware of that. I can translate certain things but I am not fluent, yet.

College will prepare that for me.

If you do need the help though, I can work some magic.

Yeah, I think it shows up right after you finish the Dead Sea. I'm pretty sure you can only fight Ozzie/Slash/Flea in a New Game + or a Continue + though.

Who is the Entity?

 :wink:

\I actually wrote to Square about it, and I still have the letter they sent me in response. In it, they said the Entity was "the Old Man at the End of Time", which was Gaspar.
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: V_Translanka on March 28, 2007, 07:35:33 pm
I think this should be a staple question in all Compendium interviews:

What kind of artist would you consider yourself: one who creates primarily for others or for yourself?

-What advice do you have for up and coming game designers who want to make games as memorable   and cherished as Chrono Trigger?

- What inspired you to do Chrono Trigger?

- Did you originally intend on making a sequel to Trigger?

Is there any relation between Leah and Ayla, or was her mention of a daughter named Ayla just a nod to us fans.

Have you ever considered making a true sequel to Radical Dreamers?
What was your inspiration behind Radical Dreamers?

lol If you can't tell, I've just played Radical Dreamers and loved it. I just have to complete Scenario 7 and I'll have beaten the whole game....then to find a way to play CC....

Yup, though for that I did do a little cheating and used a savestate because I didn't want to slog through the parts leading up to the choice three times. and a small edit It's scenario 6 I have to complete. I did 7 early one cause it was short XD

I feel like going through & putting strikethrough tags on all of the questions CTDS answered...Looks like in ZeaLitY's first post two have been answered (though the Magus one kind of ambiguously...we know more of what happened to him)...
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato
Post by: Magus22 on February 08, 2011, 04:29:08 pm
Alright!! All you radical dreamers out there!! Let's get this party started!!

We need to compile some important questions that have been asked here for a potential mail interview with Kato and/or Mitsuda in the soon near future.

This message is meant to breathe new life into this thread, and to get newcomers back to reply with their questions. I will be backtracking these many pages for information as well. Let's get some DS re-release questions from everyone too!

If you remember your questions here, feel free to re-post them! The Dream of Zeal is still alive!

(i.e.)

** Ending Magus / Could be Guile in CC **

** Who would you [Kato] like to work with for a new Chrono game? **

All Questions By User - By First Poster

What happened to Magus?

What is the outside force that assisted Porre in defeating Guardia?

Where did Radius, Fargo, Zappa and Garai serve in 1005 A.D.?

Quote from: Swordmaster
What happened to Dalton? (solved in CTDS)

Ask for never published works like short story or anything in his possession…

Quote from: Chrono’99
How can the Guardia line paradox(es) be explained?

Quote from: V_Translanka
Kurono Brake? Pretty please?

Is the Dream Team ever going to reunite? and would you like it to?

Do you know if there's as big a cult following in Japan for the Chrono series as there is in North America?

Also, I think it may be important, if the Compendium ever does get to talk to him that we use as many of the Japanese names as to avoid confusion as Kato may be unawares of some or many of the changes that were made.

(duly noted V)

What's w/the change w/Sara (/Schala)'s hair color exactly?

Who would you like to work w/on a new Chrono game?

Would you like to work on another Chrono game?

Cats seem to be a running theme in the Chrono games. Crono & co. are consistently confronted by kitties throughout their adventures...Is there a deeper meaning behind this? Or are just a cat person?

What kind of artist would you consider yourself: one who creates primarily for others or for yourself?

Quote from: Lordchander
Do you even care about the Chrono Series anymore?

Quote from: Silentmartyr
Do Crono, Marle, and Lucca die in the Ideal Timeline?

V_Translanka:  He's already been asked this in another interview I know...He was fairly elusive about giving an exact answer though...

Is Spekkio a true god?

Does Kid merge with Schala after the events in Cross, or are they separate beings?

Legend of the Past:  Yes, that is quiet confusing. In the ending it seemes as if Schala and Kid speak in the same voice (You know what I mean), but then you see in the ending cineamtic (After all the game scenes) Kid sailing away on Korcha's boat. Very confusing.


Quote from: jotabe1789
How Schala managed to clone herself and produce Kid?

Quote from: Zaperking
Where did the Mystics come from? (i believe the Reptites)

Where did Kino come from?

What happened to Schala and Queen Zeal in the Lavos Timeline?

Quote from: teh Schala
Where/what did Lavos come from?

What was up with Schala walking around in Tokyo?

Quote from: fxar99
Where has Lavos been before coming to Earth?

Quote from: Agent 12
Did Crono and Marle escape the fall of guardia?

Quote from: nightmare975
Where is El Nido on the map?

Quote from: Weggy
What happened to Dalton? (solved in CTDS)

Quote from: Dragoness
Did the home world and another world merge in the "good" ending?

What happen to the Einlanzer if the worlds did merge?

Does Glenn still keep the Einlanzer?

Does everyone forget what they did in Chrono Cross at the end?

What does ZOAH look like under the helmet?

How did Frog turn back to a human in the anime ending?

Are you ever going do a remake of Chrono Cross? (CC is coming to PSN at least)

What is the bend of time?

Where did Glenn get that scar?

In the third game, are you going to have both magic and elements?

Where did Garai die at?

Did Serge and Kid ever marry?

Who is ZOAH's parnets?

If the worlds merged... what is kept and not kept?

Does Dario still count as alive in the merged worlds?

Will we ever see Einlanzer's spirit? (i think he means like Masa and Mune)

Why did you make Ozzie's pants A HELM!?

Will we see more of Starky's people in the third game?

Will Lavos somehow be the last boss, a third time?

Does Serge still keep the Masamune in the end of Chrono Cross?

What happen in ZOAH's past to make him wear that mask?

Quote from: Sentenal
Was the Masamune found at the Divine Dragon Falls, or was it found at Denadaro Mts.?

If the above answer is "Divine Dragon Falls", how exactly did the Masamune get to El Nido?

...holy cow, quite the list has built up over the years.  :)

Magus, have you and Justinstcharles done the outreach yet, or are you still collecting more feedback? I wonder whether it would be prudent to focus on CT:DS-related questions at first, just to get the ball rolling?
Title: Re: Priority questions for Masato Kato

How much creative input did he have in Baten Kaitos Origins?

Did he work on Final Fantasy XIV?

How significantly was the story of World Destruction/Sands of Destruction altered from his original draft?

Did he run into time and budget limitations while working on Chrono Cross? How bad were they?

What are some of his favorite games of the last 10 years?

Is he interested in working with Monolith Soft again?

If he could work on any project right now, what would it be?

Post by: ZealKnight on February 17, 2011, 07:30:43 pm
The Lost Sanctum was quite a surprising thing to see in CT:DS. Was it meant as canon? If so, what exactly is it's relation to the Reptite Dimension. Also how did the Mystics end up there exactly? What is their origin?
