Chrono Stream / Plot Add-Ons
« on: November 16, 2005, 11:27:27 am »
I think the whole, everything isn't as happpily ever after, is what can really make this game shine. I'm definitely with the idea that Crono could go down fighting. Or, from another standpoint, maybe Crono and Marle go on the run after a Porre takeover and are using some undisclosed area as a base to launch attacks and reclaim what's theirs.
I definitely like the idea of the revolutionary gunwoman, and even the lady who was to be sacrificed but is saved. I think we can definitely tie in the idea of the brainwashing too. We can tie this into Porre and it's military uprising.
- Suppose some outside force starts brainwashing / manipulating the citizens of Porre.
- They become prone to fits of rage and whatnot.
- To be able to control themselves, they need a high form of dicipline, which can only be attained from the Porre military (as they have some sort of cure for it).
- Suppose our knight friend goes to Porre (on a mission) and gets brainwashed.
- Being from Guardia he has no way to be helped, and with his newly acquired MasaMune, goes in a fit of rage destroying everything in his path...
What can I say, I still like this idea. We can have him be a playable character for a bunch of the storyline too. Have him be the honarable knight, driven into a fit of madness and destroy everything he once knew and loved.
As for the 17 year old girl... I like the idea, maybe after all is said and done, she can be the one to bring him back. And they have to help re-establish Guardia. The MasaMune is taken elsewhere / dropped / lost in the El Nido area where it is later found by Radius, and you know the CC story from there.
And as for Porre, well, they're now fighting against Alexander, Revolutionary gunwoman, etc while trying to conquer El Nido. And most know that a war fought around the world will end up in failure. So maybe Guardia becomes re-established, but not with as much power as it previously had.
As for the original cast... depends on who you want to work with. I'd say Lucca should be out since she's running an orphanage. Crono could be in, along with Marle. Possibly fighting off Porre. I don't think that Lynx or Harle would be after Crono or Marle since they didn't help program or give guidance to Fate at all, so they should be safe in that respect.
Now, for the time idea... I guess it depends on who's time traveling / dimension crossing and whatnot. That and what enables them to do so... besides the "entitty did it" crap. What time periods, dimensions will one come across? remember there's at least 3 in Crono Cross... Home, Another, and the Reptite one (which proves that there's more than one dimensional split).
So yeah, input please. Oh, and the best friend fighting the other best friend can be really interesting, kind of like when Karsh had to fight Dario (so sad). It definitely makes for a good story though.

I'm guessing he wants to know why Starky's even there, other than as a means to reach Dinopolis that is.

I agree, I like 1 the best, followed by 3, and then 2 is last.

Polling / 11/19/05 - What'd most important for Chrono Break?
« on: November 14, 2005, 12:42:40 am »
We know Lavos is not of the planet... maybe there are more out there. They drop in one to two at a time... CB: Attack of the Lavoids. I dunno, something to think about.
As for the poll - personally, I think it should be a mix between a solid cast of characters and a story as deep as cross and as well directed as Trigger. But for votings sake, I'm going for the latter of the two.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Chrono Cross FAQ

How come I can't get all the characters?
Why does everyone seem to have a different accent?
Why can an element or tech be used once during a battle?
Why haven't I seen a dual tech yet?
What is an archipalageo (sp)?
Where is El Nido?
Time Crash?
Where did Dinopolis come from?
Time Devourer?
Wait, why am I Lynx now and why am I a black innate?
Doreen is the Einlanzer? How did the Demihumans make her? I thought it was Melchoir?
And I'm out for now.

Alexander eh? Good name, and also could be a paradoxical one if he ends up destroying Guardia. It means, roughly, defender of humanity or something along those lines. I can't remember if it was the name of some powerful knight or king, but it was in FF3/6 (The Esper Alexander - taught pearl (aka holy)). Also, the name was in Lunar:SSS - Alex of Burg - the Dragonmaster, savior of the world, Luna, and defender of humanity.
Yeah, I can definitely see that as a Knight Captain name. Still, what function would he serve. Playable character? Hero or enemy? Loyal or another Benedict Arnold?
Personally, I still like the idea of this knight - in what he felt was honor - betraying the royal family and going mad with the newly acquired Masamune. Perhaps he mistakingly hurt a comrade. Or maybe even killed the King. How? Could have been a setup by Porre.
- Porre kidnaps the king, and disguises him as the enemy,
- The knight captain vanquishes his foe... his liege.
- Upon realization, he goes mad with rage.
- Perhaps Crono sent him to do the deed.
- If Crono is the new king, he has a score to settle with him and all of Guardia.
... it's a possibility... not a very good one and probably unintended, but still... we could probably get away with it.
We could also go in an entirely different direction with this. Maybe one of the Acacia Dragoons fins the sword and corrupts it, before Radius, before anyone else. How? It's up to speculation.
Anyway, let me know some feedback and/or the direction you want to take with this. Not to mention we really ned a starting point. I'll say 1004 / 1005 AD. Maybe start on a small quest to Leene Square (could be Nadia Square now) to get new baby Crono some milk and such. It could take off from there. Also, are we going to do any time traveling / dimensional crossing? Again let me know.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Who did you defeat Lavos with the 1st Time?
« on: November 13, 2005, 11:16:45 pm »
I used Crono, Magus , and Marle my first time. Single techs worked fine.
As for Cross, I used Serge, Kid, and Karsh. Just a fine time all around.

I remmeber that it was supposed to come out for the 10th anniversary, but I don't remember ever seeing it. It's been close to 2 months now and I was wondering if the project is still on or if it's on hold or soemthing else. Anyone know?

That actually sounds like a decent project, so long as people can stay committed. If it were still around, I would definitely be up for doing it / help being an administrator for it. Just graduated with a minor / focus in creative writing and was looking for another sort of project to do.
