General Discussion / I have returned!
« on: February 10, 2007, 04:30:09 pm »
Remember me? It's been a while since I last posted here, but life kind of got away from me. In addition to work and school, I've been focusing most of my online energy on my new blog (Infophilia). Recently, though, a friend brought up the subject of Chrono Trigger on his blog, and I was reminded of this site (and linked it for him).
So, what all's been happening? I see that there's once more a possibility of Chrono Break coming out, so I plan to stick around and help with ideas on what we could do to show support (Idea #1: Show them this site).

General Discussion / A challenge to the religious
« on: April 12, 2006, 06:50:22 pm »
Stumbled upon this web article today:
http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/heaven.html
So, to the religious among you, how do you argue with that?
I'm going to heaven (if it exists) and you aren't! Nyeh!

General Discussion / Supernatural
« on: November 05, 2005, 09:05:08 am »
This came to mind from the wording used in the "God" thread. People were throwing around the term "supernatural," but I wonder if any has a good idea of what it really means. So, this is a short-answer poll here.
How would you define "supernatural"? No using a dictionary, go by what your own mind tells you. I'll give my answer later so I don't influence the results too much.

You may have noticed that I haven't been around for a while. This is mostly because I've recently started my new job, which is taking up a lot of my time. Sorry about this, I'll try to check in when I get a chance.

Polling / 5/21/05 - How did you first learn about Chrono Cross?
« on: May 14, 2005, 12:51:54 pm »
See, if I do things that can be applied to each game separately, I only have to think of half as many polls.
Me, I read about it on IcyBrian's site.

Polling / 5/7/05 - Which is your favorite Chrono Trigger NPC?
« on: May 01, 2005, 11:50:31 am »
Well, it seemed logical. Sorry I'm a bit late, my internet connection refused to work yesterday for some reason. So many here, sorry if I miss your favorite, but I'm trying to list the most prominent ones.
In this case, I'm going with Gaspar.

Polling / 4/30/05 - Which is your favorite Chrono Cross NPC?
« on: April 23, 2005, 03:17:07 pm »
Well, after going through the playable characters, I thought now we'd go through the non-playable ones.
Note: I decided to put Solt and Peppor together because, well, they're a team!
I really have to go with Belthasar here, because seriously, anyone who can plan out all of this is just plain awesome.

General Discussion / The Canadian Connection
« on: April 18, 2005, 07:01:06 pm »
This is just a trend I've noticed, but it seems that quite a few people here are Canadian (or live in Canada), myself included (born in Calgary, going to university in Waterloo). Who else here is Canadian?

Polling / 4/23/05 - Which is your favorite Chrono Cross character?
« on: April 16, 2005, 10:37:10 am »
Since in every previous poll, the winner had a majority, we'll just be using those for the finals. (If the winner here doesn't have a majority, we may do a run-off round, just so there's no doubt.)
My thoughts on this one:
Serge is out, as I really hate silent protagonists.
Fargo's out, as his stealing ability is all he had going for him, and Kid can steal as well, beating him out.
Kid also beats out Harle in the end, based on storyline considerations. They both had decent stories, but Kid's is more extensive.
Norris, while still good, just isn't all that outstanding in the end.
Which leaves Kid vs. Glenn.
In storyline terms:
While Glenn has more backstory than most characters, it just doesn't compare to Kid. Kid wins here.
In battle terms:
Kid's only saving grace is her ability to steal. Glenn, on the other hand, is one of the two most powerful characters in the game (along with Serge; it's hard to say which is better). His Green-innate also allows him to use healing elements well. Glenn wins here.
Design:
Kid looks like a british harlot. Glenn is a noble knight who wields two legendary swords. Glenn by a long-shot.
In the end, my vote goes to Glenn.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / The dimensional split
« on: April 10, 2005, 11:39:52 pm »
It seems that one of the plot points we've often glazed over without giving an adequate explanation is the dimensional split between Home and Another. This is mostly because we've had no explanation. Finally, I have come up with a plausible (at least somewhat) theory.
1004 AD (Keystone T-2) Serge dies
10XX AD (Keystone T-2) Noticing Serge is dead, Belthasar arranges for Kid to depart backwards to save Serge
1004 AD (Keystone T-3) Kid saves Serge, then returns to 10XX AD
(start speculation)
10XX AD (Keystone T-3) Noticing Serge is alive, Belthasar arranges for someone to travel back to 1004 AD
1004 AD (Keystone T-4) This someone interferes with Kid, preventing her from saving Serge. Both return to 10XX AD.
10XX AD (Keystone T-4) Noticing Serge is dead, Belthasar arranges for Kid to depart backwards to save Serge
->Keystone T-5 is created, matching Keystone T-3 exactly
->Keystone T-5 causes the creation of Keystone T-6, which matches Keystone T-4 exactly
The last two parts are key. Two separate timelines mutually create each other resulting in an infinite loop even with our laws of time travel. This is what's called a reciprocal causalty loop, where one set of circumstances causes another, which causes the first, and so on. This may be just what we need to cause a split between dimensions.
Thoughts?

I gotta go with Norris for this one. He's the only character smart enough to use a gun (well, aside from Starky, but what do you expect with an alien?).

I chose Grobyc, because cyborgs are cool.
EDIT: Gah! Forgot to change the question from "White" to "Black," and it's not letting me edit it. Sorry about that, but if you can't figure it out, I pity you.
