I just thought of a way that Porre could both rise quickly, and why they're so militaristic in Chrono Cross.

Forgive me if this has been addressed before.

If you look around Termina in CC, you notice that the Porre flag is at once everyone, as are its men. This is reminiscent of a martialed town, but if you look at the flags, then they kind of look like a swastika if you cut off two of the "legs". Kinda like Nazi's, yeah?

Anyway, a theory about Porre, which I came up while looking at this, suggests that they also rose to power quickly because a militaristic, idealistic man rose up and began to lead Porre on the fast track to militarism. The leader rallied the citizens and soldiers behind a common cause (possibly saying that any and all hardships suffered by them was because of Guardia and its evil might), and used that to build the citizens' loyalty to him. He then mobilized the country, sending people to both El Nido and Fiona's Forest for raw materials. Like the Nazis, he hid a rapidly growing army behind "gun clubs" (since Porreans were "above" swords), "science clubs," (labs hidden in the best spot: out in the open, developing new technology rapidly), and so forth.

It took Nazi Germany about 8 years, plus or minus a few, to grow as big as it did behind Hitler. By comparison, we could say that due to the accelerated rate of everything in the Chrono world, it would take about 4 years for Porre to become the power like it did. Following its amazing power growth, it then proceeded to take over Zenan, most likely starting with Guardia first. Using technology both researched and reverse-engineered or simply used from El Nido, they would quickly take over, using a uniformly advanced army/navy and possibly even Air Force.

So... thoughts?

Fan Fiction / CT Story Idea - The Fall of Guardia
« on: January 28, 2006, 02:02:10 am »
Okay, we know that 5 years or so from 1000AD, Porre will rise to power and declare war on Guardia, resulting in its subsequent fall from power and whatnot.

This, however, imposes a question: With immensly strong people like Chrono, Marle, Lucca, and Robo (I forget if it is still in that time) hanging out at home, which, safe to say, is in Truce... what kind of power did Porre have?

Think about it: Porre would have to kill Chrono, who wields the strongest sword in existence, probably wears the strongest armor, and is backed by a master archer, a brilliant gunner, and a tank... I mean, robot.

So how did Porre NOT fall?
And rise to power, for that matter?

The reason I ask is for a story I'm thinking of writing, detailing the Porre/Guardia war as something on a more epic scale that what is the norm for CT. I've read the theory (read: theories) here, but I can't find one that seems more commonly accepted over the other.

I'm going to write a story involving two nations warring against each other, each side with its own heroes and villains, and told from both points of view.

Of course, we know how it'll end (we think): Guardia falls in the end... but what about Crono, Marle/Nadia, Lucca (okay, she's not so much a mystery), and Robo? If anyone has any good ideas or explanations I just didn't see on this site, that would be great.

And it there's any stories that have already attempted this.

Heyo, name's Glensather Galanodel. Nice to be here and... uh, stuff. I'm not really good at introducing myself.

I've been a Chrono-Trigger fan for ages, but it wasn't until I heard about Chrono Symphonic that I recently rekindled my <3 for it. I've never played Chrono Cross, so a lot of what I know about it comes from... everything I've learned about it in the past 24 hours.

I'm also a huge D&D fan, and today I made a few character sheets detailing Magus, Chrono, and Glenn/Frog.

Oh, and I'm a big anime nut... especially Neon Genesis Evangelion. <3 Eva.

So, uh... yeah.

Hi.  :oops:
