Chrono Stream / Plot Add-Ons
« on: November 12, 2005, 02:32:01 pm »
Either is fine with me (Rob is the real name).

I like the idea of leaving Serge and company out; you're right, it just doesn't fit the timeline.  Also, having a knight captain as the 3rd character would be a good idea, since Lucca will be inevitably busy with the orphanage and such.  Kid could make an appearance, but Kid would have to be a Kid, depending on when this would take place.  The psx ending of CT shows Lucca finding Kid as a baby.  I could get an avi of it if you need it.

Also (this is kind of nice), on the psx version of Trigger, there's a difference between the japanese ending and the american ending.  During which, from what I remember seeing in the japanese ending, is some sort of dialogue written during the Fall of Guardia which never made it in the American release.  Translated anyway.  Let me see about getting a screen of it.

I almost like the idea of the knight captain being a third character that becomes corrupted in one way or another and leads to the Masamune's (or Grandleon as I now know it as) corruption and Guardia's Fall.  Perhaps old ideas of valor are twisted when faced with the idea of Crono becoming the new king.  Fight for one with royal lineage (maybe in Porre) or fight for one whom you detest.  Enter Fall of Guardia (not necessarily that of the heroes, but of Guardia).  

I don't know, let me know which direction you want to take with this(just brainstorming).  As a side note, graduated with a degree focusing partially on creative writing :p

Also go for Lavasoft's Adaware and get Bazooka - both work fairly well for scanning and removal.  Bazooka is a scanner and gives you directions on uninstalling.  It finds a few things that the other 2 do not.

I think they were in the beginning of 7 as well.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / An incomplete theory of time
« on: November 11, 2005, 11:40:40 am »
Yeah.  What I was trying to go for with this is that left and right signify different dimensions and that up and down represent past and future.  That or vice versa.  Same difference really, it's just how you decide to graph it.
That and I was trying to figure out a way to maintain each time so that the beginning and ending of Chrono Trigger make sense and so that the Chrono Cross dimensional merge could make sense as well.  Didn't go as well as planned though.

I had plot... which never seemed to go anywhere.  If this project is really going to continue I'd like to see what we have / had to start with.  Then the fun starts.

I have RPGMaker 2000 and can use it, just not as well as I'd like to.  If that helps at all, then let me know.

So were Masa and Mune really called Grand and Leon?  Just curious.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / An incomplete theory of time
« on: October 24, 2005, 01:59:32 am »
It's a little long, but here is my incomplete thory of time, as I see it (CT / RD / CC / real life).


In order to understand time, we have to extend our idea of it and realize that we can go more than in just one direction.  We also have to realize that we can not only go forward and back in time (traveling to future and past), but we can also go up time and down time.

Allow me to explain:
- If you go back in time, something will be changed (whether or not it’s a molecule of air someone will breathe or something more major, say the queen being murdered and a kingdom crumbling).  This will inevitably cause the point in time to shift, going up or down time so to speak.
- - Within those new times, you can go up and down, left and right, etc.  Now, what determines the instance you experience are the choices and experiences that came previous to the very instant in which you are currently experiencing.  Thus, instances (the infinity of them) are experienced infinitely and rather smoothly.  
- - - For instance, (very basic) seeing a dead animal on the road could cause grief and ultimately lead to a career in something that deals with animal caretaking.  However, consider not seeing the animal, and choices leading to a career in poaching.  Or seeing the animal and the grief ultimately leads to curiosity and a life in poaching.  Etc.
- - - (Again basic) Two extremes in which between are an infinity of possibilities.  For each choice and/or action lays a new path in the timeline, and a new path in history.  Thus, whether you think of it spherically (as the universe is developed around the idea of circles – think about it) or cubically (as the tesseract is nothing more than a 4th dimensional square), time operates as a 4th dimensional attribute, which had it’s own 3-d type realm, which is more or less a 6th or possibly 7th dimension.  
Time therefore extends itself into its own 3-d texture, and something (possibly) governs over time, asserting its will and bending it (time) to its (governor of time) own liking.

Now these other times that are experienced are in fact other realities.  A “dimensional split” if you will.  Can you determine the difference between what’s right and what’s not?  Absolutely not, because each are profoundly different from each other.  For instance, in one time perhaps you die of a tragic accident.  But at that precise moment in which you are about to die, perhaps something happens in which you live.  Thus the timeline shifts and one has two timelines that exist simultaneously and independently, but are both derived from the one timeline.

Now causing a timeline to become obsolete (in my own opinion) is impossible.  But also, the only thing that may render a timeline obsolete is if the universe operates according to efficiency.  In other words, if one timeline exists that is more efficient, but identical to another timeline, then perhaps the least efficient of them are obliterated.  However, that can not happen since even if it is obliterated, it still exists in the form of the more efficient one.  Thus, from this logic, timeline deletion should not and can not occur.


That's it as it stands... be gentle :p

Wouldn't Lucca have created the Prometheus circuit to guarantee he had a place in the future?  Afterall, we know at the end of Trigger she was really upset about that.

Yeah, can I have the plot thus far so I can start throwing in ideas and such.  It would be greatly appreciated.

I'm with Kazuki on this... the crossovers aren't matching up totally.  I'll be out of town the next few days, but when I'm back, I'll see if I have any ideas.  For now, I'm off to work.  Good luck fixing your comp Azarath.

Well said, Kefka is more twisted than a pretzel.  Sephiroth may be twisted, but not that twisted.

Which ending did you get?  Did you use the Chrono Cross or deplete all HP?  Just curious.

No, Kefka was subject to the first experiments with infusing people with magic... which Cid said he never was the same afterwards.

As for Sephiroth... he was an honorable warrior... until the Nibelheim (spelling) incident.  Why... the Shinra Mansion.   In it, he learned a horrible truth, his origin.  Some say that ignorance is bliss... I'd agree.
Did you ever get the Zack flashback Zealty?  It adds a little more of what happens to Cloud and where some of his memories come from.

Yeah it is, but you can avoid most battles, so it's not too bad.  I actually ended up doing that my first time through... man, I was so unprepared... but yeah, I'd definitely say go and fight Dario and get the Mastermune.  It's a pain in the butt to get, but it's totally worth it.
