That is the only time he is referred to as GUARDIA. Nonetheless it stands reason to strike that he has the family name, considering Leene marries into the family. Lensman and I both have the whole script file.

...Bah, this is indeed the only instance:
Quote from: Frog's Flashback
CYRUS: Yes, it's time we took back the
Medal from the Frog King.
And I'd like to see that mythical
sword for myself.
GUARDIA: But Cyrus, the kingdom needs
you!
And Leene and I need you.
You must return to us!

They can become very hot if left on for too long, but that may only apply to older or inferior models. A scientist burned himself when he failed to notice the heat radiating from his laptop once.

It is indeed Leene, who married into the family around 590 A.D. I believe that perhaps the system may have worked on males until that point, and then have operated on females. King Guardia XXI's name when speaking in the script is usually GUARDIA:, as if it were his name. This is only a small point of interest though and may not hold much weight in discussion.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Portals in the year 1000
« on: January 06, 2004, 05:18:55 pm »
Just to chime in, GrayLensman, Aitrus and I recently discussed what the status of Chrono Trigger truly means. Judging from two comments (one from Trigger, one from Cross), I believe it holds that the title-bearer has enormous potential to impact the space time continuum for good or ill. Crono is able to restore the planet, while Serge is the only one capable of destroying the Time Devourer according to Belthasar's plan. If both do not act, destruction is seen in 2300 A.D. in the Lavos timeline and in the Dead Sea.

Indeed; I'm still encountering difficulties with my computer. The Radical Dreamers script will still be the Compendium's Christmas present, though.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / There an easy answer to this?
« on: January 05, 2004, 07:23:03 pm »
Yeah, they're all the same. Only one pendant was made by Melchior, and this is confirmed by the fact that only Schala could activate the Mammon Machine with it; I'm sure Queen Zeal would have jumped at the chance to do it herself as soon as possible if she weren't required. Also, several Zealians remark that Marle's is similar to Schala's (similar, as in mistaking it outright for the princess's. Melchior does this too).
From somewhere in Cross, I suddenly believed the crackpot notion that Lucca forged the Astral Amulet. Although Lucca is certainly capable of building incomplete Time Eggs, it is said otherwise that Schala gives Kid her pendant.
Thus, apparently, Dreamstone...can have time-altering effects. Or at least amplify them? Wha? We have a choice here after researching this a bit. Either Dreamstone has the power to alter time, or Schala/Kid/Marle use it to confuct and amplify a power that has time altering abilities. Ok, #2 seems correct; Lavos' emanations were notorious for causing disruptions and half-baked gates. Since he still resided within the planet during the events of Chrono Cross, perhaps Kid's pendant only used 'Mammon energy,' as I call it, to have the effects of rewinding time to a safer position.

There is some binding fact that dictates Azala is female, but I've forgotten it as well. I think it may be an official statement from Square, but I'm a bit wary of 'official statements' considering their rumor-like nature and since Nintendo states outright that the 'One of you is close to someone that needs help...Find this persona, fast!' quote refers to Lucca's mother, which is...kinda dumb.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Portals in the year 1000
« on: January 05, 2004, 07:13:16 pm »
Firstly, I'd like to say that Cross suggests the planet itself pulled Dinopolis in from another dimension to counteract the sudden presence of Chronopolis. My personal theory is that instead of pulling in another Chronopolis or such, the planet was able to extract from the space time continuum a foil to Chronopolis, and that the dimension which yielded Dinopolis was simply the best opponent to that of the Chronoverse.
Now, my answer to Igloo Bob's inquiries:
1.) If the planet is the Entity, we know from Cross that the planet may have taken a more selfish attitude toward things, considering it is ravaged by humans. Nonetheless, a desirable society is produced in that of the Central Regime, which erects Chronopolis: the plaque within the aforementioned structure dictates a message of peace for all, I believe. It is not in the interest of the Entity to guide human affairs, only ensure its own survival; Lavos alone can threaten it, while humans are simply a bother until civilization becomes advanced.
2.) What is to be noted of the Ocean Palace and Magus' Lair time portals is that they are transitory and fade out once Lavos' disturbances cease. Thus, they are in truth caused by Lavos, but they are not Gates in the sense that they are clear links in time that seem to exist with purpose.
A correction; Lavos pulls the whole of Chronopolis through time, and not only the Frozen Flame, although it may act as the agent by which this action is performed. It is explained in the GamePro interview that Lavos was merely trying to introduce a huge variable into time such a Chronopolis with the intent of altering history enough to preserve it. Of course, Belthasar planned this all.
CTF, your theory that the planet chose Crono due to his magnanimous character or potential to be such is interesting. If we can do a light character analysis, we know that Crono is brave, even to the brink of foolishness; however, his willingless to die in battle perhaps marks a higher maturity in him that forgives this extreme courage.
Oops; I typed this reply by reading the entire thread. CTF has already covered point 2, but I'll leave my commentary in if anyone wishes to see it.

Aitrus, I think GrayLensman has finished his half, and I'm nearing it. Sorry for being late in responding.

General Discussion / Catching up

I should also 'catch up.' I've been gone for two days, as I excused myself from the internet to read the whole of Wuthering Heights. Not procrastination, mind you

Chrono Compendium Discussion / Endings Made Available
« on: January 05, 2004, 06:54:56 pm »
Excuse my absence. I suppose the first order of business would be the organization of these endings. Unfortunately, my Chrono Cross endings and savestates are as good as dead on a destroyed hard drive. I'll consult Ramsus to see if this is feasible. I don't think it would be that much of a problem, legally or bandwithwise. (Yes, I made up a word!)

Chrono Compendium Discussion / We need our own IRC channel...
« on: January 02, 2004, 12:26:23 am »
Well, I'll register an unofficial IRC channel and idle in there. Let it be...
#chrono
I'll try later. I was in the process of fabricating a reason that #chrono should be registered, when I realized that 'Zeality' was in my hostname. I said I was someone else on the Compendium just in case the ETG guy knew me from somewhere.
