General Discussion / Ted Woolsey
« on: December 29, 2009, 04:25:02 am »
Lol,
This is kind of random, but Ted Woolsey's sons went to my high school, and were a year below me hahaha.
I just came back from college this winter break to visit the school before they went on break, and then all of a sudden I saw one of the kids, and he was talking about how he lived in Japan for a few years because of his Dad in the 90s, so I randomly asked him if his Dad's name was Ted (his last name was Woolsey), and he was like "Yeah, my Dad worked on Chrono Trigger." LOL.
So yeah, random fact. And apparently he has a lot of memorabilia from many early Square games. LUCKY!
Just thought I'd post my little highlight of my month xD

Well, I'm moving to North America soon, and since I'm totally clueless about how it works, I thought some American Chrono lovers fill me out or help me out a bit XD

I mean, I've lived in New Zealand and Australia, and they're the same, but America is soo different.
I have to learn the imperal system of measurement. Inches, Feet, Yards etc :O (I used to think a yard was like a literal side of a backyard o.o)

So I have a few questions about highschool there, and if anyone can provide extra info, please do ^^

1) What is the cerificate of education called once you pass year 12 (senior year)? Here it's VCE (Victorian certificate of education).

2) How or what do you do to get a higher mark for the certificate? Do you do exams or ?

3) What are the compulsory subjects you need to learn (in the Sophemore year).

4) Do you have forms? Or like home rooms.

5) Do you go to classes always with the same people, or do you all go to different classrooms depending on your subject and teacher? (So like not how it is here where each class has their own set of teachers and no one splits up except for electives).

6) Do all highschools have cafeterias?

7) I read that some schools begin at 7:30am! Wow. Like what time do most people wake up? 5am!? Is it already bright at that time? So what time would people be in bed by O.o

8) Inches, Feet and Yards and Miles :O Do you guys do heaps of stuff on perimeters and measurement with that stuff in math :O I hope not >.<

9) How many subjects can a person have maximum per year?

10) Does everyone have arranged seating or can you sit wherever you want in each class, ever class time? So you can sit in one spot one day, and sit in another the following day etc? (Basically, your desks don't have your stuff in them, so you can sit wherever you want?)

11) Are American High schools really like how they are in teen dramas and movies? (The OC, Bring It On, Smallville, Veronica Mars etc) O.o

And anything else that comes, i'll ask it. But do feel free to tell me your own experiences. I can't wait!

Thanks ^.^

« on: October 08, 2005, 10:22:47 pm »
Hmm, The post was deleted, So I'll repost all the pic's, plus the new Harle.

Schala unpainted. As you can see, we changed the original art a bit so you can't see her other hand.


Schala Painted.


Kid (She looks animeish) It was hard to draw her because there's not alot of good 2d pictures of her.


Harle! Sorry for the face, we had to redo it a bit because it sucked.


Redone Harle (will colour in later)


What do you think? :D

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Radical Dreamers explains it all Oo OMG!
« on: September 24, 2005, 06:37:15 am »
Omg, I just found this whilst reading a RD FAQ at GameFAQs.. OMFG!!!! It's apparently from the Japanese translation or something.

Quote from: Radical Dreamers Storyline FAQ by Zelda Dude at GameFAQs

   The last part of this FAQ will be the main objective which is to clear up all
confusion regarding this long overdrawn incident once and for all. First of all
in the end of CT, during the new FMV's Magus is shown going into the forest to
search for Schala, but the game never says anything else. Unfortunately it took
the script writers to get a clear explanation of what happened. Magus goes off
with Alfador, who seems to ignore everything and heads to look for her. However
Magus says he is going to go back into the past to find Schala. The funny thing
is what the scenario writer says on it is very confusing:
"While we intended for Guile to be Magus, we did not make this intention clear
enough and changed his clothes to make people no believe he was Magus. Guile is
actually based off a character in Radical Dreamers which is believed to be
Magus, and guides Kid through the game. However while we made it so Magus was
to be the one doing the time hop, we decided to rework the events so that Janus
was the one. This is how the area of Radical Dreamers turns out in the end."
While he states they in fact intended Guile to be Magus, the way they word it
is not something that any right hand gamer can just off the fly understand.
When decoding the real wording and intention, here is what is so:

During the time Magus left to go search for Schala, was during the exact
incident where Janus is supposedly going to go through dimensions crossing
over. However, when this event transpires, it is at the exact same moment which
the Time Crash occurs. Janus instead who can not time hop, does get spliced
into the dimensional vortex creating a rupture which makes several unconscious
Time Doppelgangers, which are not aware of anything because those dimensions
themselves have been created. The same time Janus stepped through the portal,
all of a sudden the Radical Dreamers dimension was created off of an alternate
split reality. Janus then was lost in that space of the momeny, creating an
alternate time doppelganger in a reality never his own. Because Janus in this
instance never went through the dimensional gateway, and did not ever become
Magus later on, he stays the same.

Thereofore Janus of Zeal, who at that moment of the Time Crash, was lost into
another being. Alfador on the other hand did not travel anywhere near the
present time, he instead got lost in the chaos. The other being washed up on
the shore in 1000 AD with no memory whatsoever of his origin, a "spawn" of
another lifeform. This being quickly became a traveling magician, called Guile
by the people of Termina. He did whacky fortunes, and told funny stories while
he collected his weight as a magician to take on an even larger stake: That of
discovering the truth which was hidden from him like a black veil. He learned
the trains of a magician, however, knew no such special spells, only little
magic tricks. He met up with Serge and CO who were off to defeat Lynx, and
needed something to pass the time. He went with them, never deciding to take
off his mask because he liked his enigma qualities, and when he reached the
Frozen Flame, he stumbled back. Unaware that such a power could have existed in
him, perhaps, but never will. He exclaims in the game if you have him in the
front of the party "I am not that ...No....It's not possible....I am not
that!!!" and indeed he is correct, he is not that. Guile is a ripoff time
doppelganger of Janus, he has no correlation to Magus whatsoever.  He only had
the appearance of that of Janus, not Magus, nor even knew what the Mystics
were. He was born, and bred, an idiot. After that event, he seeked to repay his
gambling debts, perhaps Sneff knew what his life was really like hmm??? Or
perhaps the mask he takes off in front of Kid which produces no reaction when
he loses his 'bet'. Guile always wished to be something he's not, something he
could never be.

At the same time Magus was in that moment traveling backwards across that plane
and in the Time Crash, spawned himself into another "lifeform". This life form
was simply known as Gilbert. One day Gilbert arrived in the form of a young
earnest side show traveler, who was quickly adopted by parents, met his
girlfriend, and became a great thief. He went on through his life to discover
he might hold untapped powers, ones that could shake the heavens. Or maybe he
just liked his life as a thief. He decided one day long ago that he would go on
an adventure, and with Serge and CO joined the Radical Dreamers to become a
part of this adventure and live it to the last day. But when they traveled into
Lynx's Manor, and he had grown attatched to his friends, he realized the truth
about his life. Something he could not ever attain, something he could not ever
be. He wished to be something more than a thief, who traveled and stole the
Frozen Flame. Perhaps the first thief to steal the Frozen Flame??? Or maybe the
last..?? Still, he dreamed of fighting the wars of chaos, and learning from his
shadow powers he inherited automatically from his real birthmother(who lies
across dimensions) decided to make his life the fullest it could possibly be.
He went on and wished to marry LuLu, the had several daughters, and in that
life, lived happily and as rich as can be. He could never ever say that he knew
what the strength of his abilities were, but he traveled the stars and cosmos,
running across mischief and adventure, where he styled his name after a rock
star, and became well known throughout for hunting space criminals. He never
knew the truth which birthed him, he never could accept that. He instead gave
his life into the card tricks which a thief will play, and learned And as a
wandering thief he was remembered by those who cared in the land.

Flash forward to 1020 AD> The Chrono Cross is used. All of a sudden every
dimension which existed outside of home ceases to exist, Guile, Magil, and all
incarnations of Serge, General Viper and every character are wiped completely
out. They were never born.
Just as in sliders if you were to look at one of the
dimensions where Quinn found out he discovered the theory of relativity. It
never happened, he isn't that smart, and that dimension after everything else
ceased completely.

Because of this one can not say that Mars Daio, the Old Woman, or any of them
were in fact real. As Kid learns, at the end of her story, she will never be a
thief again. And in that sense, she can not. After all, Magil, Serge, those
people are who made the game fun. As for the cat alfador, he does nothing but
follow Magus, who is at this moment, unaware of everyone, dwelling in the past
looking for Schala, and watching over her through the dimensional gateway he
travels. He knows nothing of the strange bygones, and may, as it were not ever
realize what truely happened. Yet in the same sense, his play in the role of
the events caused those with imagination to wonder, would Magus really come
back....??? The answer is Nay, not until the writers of the Chrono Sequel
decide to put him in. Though maybe everyone's favorite Mystic raised brat is
not present, the world goes on. And in that same sense, people in the games
like Glenn and Frog, are distanced by hundreds of years making it impossible
for them to even have the same blood line, much less exist in the same moment.
But those who will dream, may say some day the fateful Frog returns to his
human form, and comes back to the world to slay Lynx. There's nothing wrong
with a dream.

Well, The other day, in my history class, the learning subject was about neanderthals and other monkey like humans like the homo erectus etc.
I was reading somewhere that the evolution patterns were abnormal, and remembered that there is still a missing like to humans and animals. One question that came up to me was like how can animals sence approaching danger when humans totally cannot?

Also, saw that 30,000 years was no way enough time for humans to change drematically. As how we have asian looking people, cascasian looking people and negro looking people - basically 30,000 years was not enough time since the time that apparently humans first appeared.

So I started thinking, is there any possibility that our ancestors came in contact with the Frozen Flame? Or something similar that could evolve us? Lol, maybe i've just been replaying to much CT and CC XD

Thoughts?

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Just an idea about Kid.
« on: September 02, 2005, 10:45:04 am »
Well, Since I know there are alot of people who believe that Radical Dreamers is cannon, I want to figure something out.

Alrighty. We know that Radical Dreamers is another dimension. Schala was reincarnated by the Frozen Flame and is Kid.

Now, We know that Schala in CC used the last of her will and goodness to create Kid of that and somehow was sent out from the DBT.

This is just an idea, but is there any chance at all that there may be 2 Kids. Basically, we know nothing that may have happened in the original time line with Schala. Since RD states that Schala, as the Arbiter, mentally made a wish to get away from her guilt of being responsable for the downfall of Zeal, was granted reincarnation by the Frozen Flame. Since Kid arrives in 1001-1004AD, is there any possability of the FF doing this? Since the only time that Schala in the DBT (from the keystone timeline) could have sent Kid out would be like in 1006AD. Is there a possability that Kid A (Original Time line Reincarnate) was the Kid that saves Serge, and the Kid produced by Schala is Serge's partner.

I'm just trying to find a way to bond aspect from CT-RD-CC together. A part of everything on RD was canon. Just that some characters were changed ofcourse. You may think im stupid because Kid has Magil in RD, but ofcourse if this applies to CC, Kid never met Magil, and Grezenbul and Regonnia are just like prototype names of El Nido and Termina etc.

Thoughts? No flames :P

I know that alot of people usually have been connecting CT to RD and RD to CC to make theories more possible, but I just wanted to point a few things out.
Okay, I just finished playing through 3 of the scenarios in Radical Dreamers, and I realised a few things.

*Spekkio and the FF aren't the only things that can unlock magic in people. The sunflower seed unlocked Kid's power.

*It is stated that Magil's eye colour is blue and that he is beautiful and very handsome (clashes with the warped Magus feel like how he had red eyes and looked like a dead elf Oo in CT)

*The Entity and Goddess of Fate aren't the only dieties and powers in the Chrono World. There is the Moon Goddess, the Fallen angel Armycot (Forgot the exact spelling name) etc.

*Schala was stated to have been the direct cause of the fall of Zeal. Somehow she survived the Ocean palace, and once thrown into the Mammon Machine, came in contact with the Frozen Flame. There, the Flame granted her greatest wish to escape all her guilt and reincarnated her (well rewound the hands of time on her) and sent her into the future.

Thoughts? Or anything you wish to say or add your own opinions of a few of these?

General Discussion / What hair colour for a "Magus" type character
« on: May 04, 2005, 09:02:46 am »
Well theres this online MMORPG and i'm going like a wizard chracter. The hair colour I can choose from are green, blonde, grey, orange and bald. lol.

I came down to two conclusions. Blonde or Grey. The accounts name will be called Magus so because there is no blue colour >.>  should I go blonde? (no one will probably understand but it's probably Janus' original hair colour, like Schala's) or grey (dunno why)

What colour do you think I should go and why :) Thanks

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Confusion with The Dead Sea
« on: April 12, 2005, 11:15:07 am »
I read the Article "Salt for the Dead Sea" but I am still a bit confused.

Starx quoted on GameFAQS:
Quote
My quote:
However, to say Crono, Marle, and Lucca is dead at that time is to imply that Crono, Marle, and Lucca lost the battle to Lavos, an impossibility.

Your quote:
How so? If they defeated Lavos and then were killed afterwards that wouldn't prevent Lavos from being defeated.

You completely missed the point yet again.
The future that is about to become is the future in which Lavos rules the world, or the original future if you want to put it that way.
In order for that to happen Crono, Marle, and Lucca MUST lose or has already died or does not exist.
An impossibility or paradox, because Chrono Cross cannot happen if that were the case.

Which is why the Dead Sea represents the future which will happen, but has not yet happen.


If Lavos has to exist for the Dead Sea to be there, then why is it there if Lavos was defeated in both dimensions. Since the dimensional split occured in 1004AD? That means that Lavos was still defeated, causing the Time Devourer to still exist and CC to exit. And how is this future yet to happen because Lavos was destroyed. I would think that the Dead Sea would reflect nothing if the Time Devourer would have destroyed it...

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Also I still don't understand. Why does FATE want to preserve the Dead Sea if it's a future where it doesn't even exist. Also if everything in the Dead Sea is real, then doesn't that mean that it was exchanged inplace of Chronopolis and was merly sent back to it's normal future instead of going to the DBT? If it did go to the DBT, wouldn't that mean automatically that Serge would win one day?
