Can anyone confirm?
« on: October 09, 2004, 08:32:39 pm »
I recently came across a small section of one of the Chrono Cross FAQs, on GameFAQs. Can anyone verify the following statements?

Quote
Bring another leena to home cape howl. Conditions: kid must not be in your
party
and it must be after you visit guldove after overhearing glenn talking to the
flower
stall lady, and before you change into Lynx. You will witness a funny scene
between her
and serge.

Bring another kid to another cape howl. Conditions: leena must not be in your
party
and it must be after you fight karsh, and before you infi trate viper manor.
You will
witness a scene where Kid asks Serge if you remember. If you answer yes, then
Serge
will tell her about the dream about kid getting killed by him and kid will
respond.

Damn. Looks like I'm going to have to play through Chrono Cross again.

I like how the FAQ author didn't post the important information. What an unhelpful ass.

This one I've done, as have many people. All you get is the Fortune Teller saying "It's been a while, Lady Sprigg." That gives practically nothing about her past. Her quote when approaching the Frozen Flame, however, does hint at her past. Check the Temporal Vortex section of my article in the WIP forum for the exact quotes.

They probably add this sort of stuff so the slow just-getting-into-game gamers will buy their strategy guides so they get these little events. It's like a profit thing in my opinion, to bad Walk Trhoughs and Strategy Guuides kill that . . .

Well, you can always find some errors in the guides, which is why I try to stick to the internet where most people bother to research the topics they talk about.

Hate to revive an old thread, but I have some to add.

Quote

Confirmed.  This one's cute.

Confirmed.  Question:  Can you still get this scene if Leena joined you?  Anybody know?

Quote
Bring Zappa to see Karsh in home world to witness a scene and find out what happened. Conditions: Must be after turning into Lynx before fighting Miguel.


He's got it backwards.  You can't bring Zappa to Home's Karsh because Home's Karsh is dead.  What you can do is bring Another's Karsh to meet Home's Zappa and Zippa for a sad little scene.

Quote
Bring Guile to see Sneff in home world on the Zelbess to find the truth about his 'bad debt'. Conditions: Must be after turning into Lynx, before entering Sea of Eden.


How can you have Guile in your party after becoming Lynx...?  Answer:  You can't!  I don't know what he's talking about here.

Quote
Bring Sprigg to the Fortune Teller after coming back to learn more about her mysterious past. Condition: Must be after turning into Lynx.


Confirmed, but you don't learn very much.

Quote
Bring Greco to the Shop Owner outside of the Shrine in Another world to find out more of his mysterious past and learn what caused Ghetz's death. Condition: Must RECRUIT Greco while you are Lynx.


He totally doesn't know what he's talking about here.  You can get the scene while you're Serge.  Just put Greco in your group and talk to the shop owner.  You MAY have to do this right after Greco joins you, but I'm not sure.  Besides, I'm pretty sure you can't recruit any of Serge's friends while you're Lynx anyway, except for Pip.

Quote
Bring Harle to see Sprigg and find some funny sequence. Condition: Must have recruited both and have gotten Harle back by the Chrono Cross.


Nothing happened when I tried to do this.  Perhaps I missed the window of opportunity.

Quote

Confirmed.

Quote
Bring Norris to people in Termina during Porre Takeover. Condition: Must have Norris and Serge's body back.


Confirmed, but not much happens with this.  I wouldn't call it a secret scene or anything.

Quote
Bring Glenn with Karsh to Isle of Damned to learn what his brother did. Condition: Must have recruited Glenn and have not fought Dario.


Confirmed.

Confirmed, but you don't learn too much.  If you're hoping for Norris to explain that Grobyc is Luccia's brother or something, forget it.

Here's a few more.

Talk to Mary (the sick little girl) in Another's Termina without Korcha in the party to learn that Korcha in fact has no father.  And here I thought that Orcha was his dad.

I think you see some funny scenes if you take Miki to the old man at Belcha's place in Arni (Home), and Nikki to the old woman at Belcha's place in Arni (Another).

Luccia and Starky both react with amazement if they are in the lead of the party when you inspect the Neo-Epoch under Viper Manor, and even delve into some theorizing about the nature of the craft.  Everyone else just asks something like, "Is this some type of transport?"

I know there are more.  I'm replaying the game myself right now.  I can add ones that I find.

For #2, you can have recruited Leena, but she can't be in your immediate party at the time. BTW, it has to be Another's cape howl.

It's nothing important, just an interesting bit of foreboding. You don't have to give up anything to see it though, so I reccomend it.

I don't know where I saw that, but I read somewhere that Orcha was Macha's brother...

I have three more questions along similar lines.

1.) Can you recruit Greco even if you don't pretend you're the exorcist when you pass through Fossil Valley?  When you first meet Greco, right before he joins you, he and Romana are discussing the fact that he was turned away by the dragoons, since the dragoons thought that Serge was the exorcist they were waiting for.

2.) Can you recruit Luccia if you don't set Pip free?  When Luccia joins you, she says that she's mainly doing so because Pip, her main area of study, is gone.

3.) Does not having the bellflower, refusing to hand over the bellflower, or selling the bellflower, in any way affect your ability to recruit Glenn and/or Riddel?

As for the Orcha/Macha thing, I've never seen anything saying they're brother and sister, either in the game or in any other official material.  But, I think it's the most likely answer.  Maybe if you take Macha to see Belcha you learn something...?  I'll try it out once I get that far.

I'm pretty sure you can still recruit Luccia...I thought she said something about there not being anything left for her in Viper Manor and that she wanted to help Serge out...

Also, the Bellflower thing doesn't effect anything...Either you're nice or you're a money grubber...

Perhaps they mean to bring Zappa to that spot in the Dead Sea.

I don't think it's possible to go back there, ever.
