Chrono Compendium Discussion / Fan Project Clean Up
« on: April 01, 2014, 04:00:57 pm »
The Fan Projects page is riddled with outdated information and broken links. I can get it if it's not the highest priority, but I was trying to show a few friends of mine that the Chrono fanbase is still strong and thought that it might be a good place to show it.

History, Locations, and Artifacts / Re: About the domes in 1999 AD
« on: March 21, 2014, 09:22:25 pm »
Y'know I always had a headcanon that the domes couldn't hold everyone so they started drilling into the earth to make more room without having to leave their domed cities, and in some way that either pissed off Lavos or threatened him.

General Discussion / Re: The Thread for Writers
« on: March 16, 2014, 09:04:24 pm »
I probably should've realized this was here a while ago, given my own enjoyment of writing. Too bad I can't focus on actually READING anymore though, haha...
That said I mostly just write to clear my head when I'm thinking a lot, though I have tried a few series-based works. Those ended with mild success at best, but usually remained unfinished due to my lack of attention span.
I don't really have anything good to show as far as series stuff goes, but one day I was going through Chrono Trigger DS and went to the place where Magus is standing after the Ocean Palace incident and decided to write something that's both based on it and completely unrelated to that scene. http://fav.me/d77vrb4

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: Lavos is Real (Theory)
« on: January 27, 2014, 09:45:21 pm »
So then from there, wouldn't the story of Chrono Cross be a "break" in the dream? Something outside of it pulling a part out and having one side of the dream exist in a different place than the other?
And if the Lagoonate's that threaten Marbule are dreams of the Entity, but they only appear on one side, then isn't that an example of one part of the dream being threatened by reality?
It's an interesting idea, I'll say that, but I'm just curious to see if my curiosity can help expand it.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: What's Up With The Frozen Flame's Eyeballs?
« on: January 27, 2014, 09:32:18 pm »I believe that the Frozen Flame does not have a static appearance.This is probably one of the coolest, and most believable, explanation of the Frozen Flame I've heard in a while. But it raises a question: if you were to look at the Frozen Flame, how would you see it?
It appears in a way that is based on what is expected of it.
The Dragonians depicted it as a spiky crystal shape.
Radical Dreamers shows it as a spiky crystal of a much different shape, and Serge understands it (on some subconscious level, having contacted it before) as a living thing, probably also understanding that it is strange and alien(in the sense of not normal), so it appears as a transforming flame shaped object with eyes.
How it appears is affected by how we perceive it.
The Flame has an effect on people, and people have an effect on It.
This is the truth.
This is what I believe... at least for now.
...but yeah, I knew about the eyes... They bug me. I don't like this depiction of the Flame at all.
When I got to Chronopolis I thought that big ball of energy inside it was the real Flame and what Serge saw was merely a piece of it, for example.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Re: The long night is upon us
« on: January 27, 2014, 09:15:06 pm »
Personally I don't think live action would be as difficult to implement as you make it out to be. The Lord of the Rings movies, most of which being rather old, did wonderfully working with Golum's character and he was done through CG.
Why? Motion capture. While everyone else would be acting as their character motion capture artist would be with them on stage acting as Glenn and/or Robo, which means they'd get all the motions and the experience, but the CG would create the physical character himself. Course this causes a couple more problems with Robo than Glenn anatomically, but people get payed to figure that stuff out anyways.
Though that's not to say live action would be the ideal format, as we'd still run into the problem of finding the right actors for the 1000 AD kids.

Other Topics and the Prerelease / Re: Extrapolations for Chrono Break
« on: January 10, 2014, 01:06:47 am »Given that XIII-2 was based partially on Chrono Trigger (or so I've heard) that would actually be a pretty good ways to bridge the gap between the two game's time travel systems.If time breaks anyone can time travel and without telepods, amulets, time eggs and Lavos\Entity powers. Or other eras come to them. For example: 65mln bc lava in 1000 ad year and 12k bc snow in 600 ad yearThen what if Break takes place in "fused" world? One where time exists on a single point and everything on the timeline happens at once?
So different pieces of each timeline find there way to one or many separate eras, or they all pop up in one single timeline altogether... hmm... I like the idea, and it kind of reminds me of FFXIII-2's time travel plot in a way. The only difference is that XIII-2 dealt with paradoxes of a locale, which were caused by the events of another time period.
>inb4 XIII-2 was actually made to test out an idea for a future Chrono game

As far as I'm aware there's no evidence going in either direction. They're just... there.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: A Theory About Lavos
« on: December 15, 2013, 05:52:39 pm »
Maybe Starky's race has their planet destroyed by Lavos, and went from world-to-world tracking it's spawn in some sort of "benevolent" genocide? Considering that Cross retconned the Lavos events into happening again (if I remember the plot correctly) this would explain their desire to destroy the planet altogether.

I always thought they were merely warnings; a premature "tomb", more or less.
Basically they were created from data gathered of the party during their time in Zeal and before the Ocean Palace rose up into the sky as the Black Omen. Thus they're existence as a whole is probably no different than Bekkler's dolls, but the message of their creation is something more along the lines of "Continue further, and this is your fate."
Or it's a relic of an earlier phase of development when you might have had a mirror match against your own party.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: A Theory About Lavos
« on: November 26, 2013, 08:34:53 pm »I have a theory of my own. Granted, there's no proof or evidence and I'm probably just pulling it out of my arse, but it's good fanfic bait. Plus, it's what I'm using for Sea of Dreams.It would explain why Azala knew that Lavos was going to crash into the planet, with that "Fall, damn you" line she has. Or, to feed the fire more, maybe Lavos wasn't returning home randomly or of his own accord, but instead it was Azala who beckoned him back in the first place.
*ahem*
Lavos did not come from another planet. It has traveled through space, yes. But, to the surprise of all who would learn it, Lavos was created... on this planet.
Say a tribe of precursors dating back even farther than prehistoric times. Shit happens, either their creation goes out of control or they destroy themselves, and Lavos is left wandering the cosmos. Feeding. Evolving. Surviving.
Then, eons and eons later, come 65,000,000 BC...
Lavos wasn't invading from a far off world. It was coming home! For what purpose, none can say.
How's that for irony?
Puts a whole new perspective on the series as a whole, wouldn't it?
It's something to ponder, anyway.
