Time, Space, and Dimensions / Re: Chrono trigger ending question (Is bugging me a lot; related to time travel)

First, we can say that Lucca's judgement is compromised because Robo is her friend and she cares for "him" deeply.  She fears that when he takes the gate back to his time that he will "cease to be" because the saved future might not include robots like him.  We know from other situations in the game that she is wrong - Robo has Time Traveler Immunity and is unable to be overwritten by whatever changes to the future come to be.  The ending, in fact, shows that Robo is alive and well and is even reunited with his "sister."  Since we killed her in the game, this gives the impression that Robo's kind exist in the new future and, due to Time Bastard, the Robo we are familiar with, after traveling to this future, probably replaced "new future Robo." 

Thanks for the reply. Time immunity...Time Bastard...ahh I know there's a big section here in CC that explains the different time travel concepts of the game. Discovered it only recently. Have bookmarked it and will go through it sometime.

And I'm not really sure I follow you sorry. I still don't understand this : If Robo was alive at the end of time after defeating Lavos, why should Lucca worry about Robo ceasing to exist in a time period that comes before the end of time? (2300 AD) Obviously if Robo wasn't made in the saved future, he should cease to exist at the end of time too, after the three players defeat Lavos.

Or is it possible for someone to exist at the end of time after altering history and only cease to exist when they go back to their own timeline (a timeline that lies in between the altered year and end of time)? Do you think it'll be clear to me after I go through that article on time travel concepts?

Personally my hopes aren't high for this project to be completed... but oh well, we'll see what happens I guess.

I'm pretty cynical as well but like I said earlier these guys are aware of what had happened with the previous CT remake projects so they're taking some precautions (like by not making a website dedicated to the project) - it seems the only way by which Square Enix can contact them is by posting on their facebook page's wall lol

Oh and those 2 guys have DA accounts too btw.

News Submissions / NEW Chrono Trigger HD 3D fan remake (Click for screenshots & more!)

To the mods - Sorry if this has already been posted. Did a quick search and didn't get any results so decided to make a new thread.

A new Chrono Trigger HD 3D remake is on the way. Work is slow(AFAIK only 2 people are working on it) but they sure are putting in a lot of effort.

Here's the link to the facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/ChronoTriggerHd

They had made their last post back in Oct 21 so click on that button at the center that says 'highlights', click on 'Posts by page' and scroll down to check their posts. You can also check out photos they've posted. I've attached a few of them here.

I had a chat with the admin regarding C&D and he says that since they don't (and will not) have a website and explicitly state that they're making a game, they'll not receive any C&D letter.

I'm not sure if that's gonna prevent them from getting a C&D but oh well...

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Chrono trigger ending question (Is bugging me a lot; related to time travel)

« on: December 10, 2012, 04:22:18 pm »

Towards the end when everyone is bidding farewell, Marle asks Lucca if she isn't gonna say goodbye to Robo. Lucca replies back saying that they changed the future when they killed Lavos and as a result Robo mayn't be built in the future and may cease to exist.

Here's what I don't understand : Robo was still alive after they killed Lavos. Not just in 1000 AD but in the end of time as well (The three players who defeat Lavos would of course have to come back to End of time and inform everyone the good news) so why was Lucca worried about Robo ceasing to exist when he clearly exists even during end of time (which is needless to say after 2300 AD). Is there any particular time travel concept I'm missing here?

This never bugged me when I played the game years back. And this particular scene always made me tear up but now when I think about this it feels kind of awkward D:

Would be glad if someone could demystify this for me!!!
