Language issues of Chrono Trigger
« on: July 03, 2008, 12:17:04 am »
im sure this has been discussed before.. but ive been wondering how, from 65 billion BC, all the way up to 2300 AD people were all speaking the same language. I know its obviously because its a video game and im overthinking this but, in 65 billion BC ayla points out that lavos was a name she created (la=fire vos=big). does this not mean that they do speak another language? how are they communicating?
they should have put a universal language analyser in the game, like say when you go into the future. that way it would be explained and that when theyre in 65 billion BC they could have been like 'how am i understanding you?' 'oh yeah we got this universal translating thing'

Well, seeing as how their history isn't our own, perhaps, by sheer luck, they have all spoken the same language - for freaking 65 million years.

thats true and thats probably what they intended it to be
but then where does ayla get fire from "la" and big from "vos"?

Well all humans originated from those in 65 million bc... if I am not mistaken this explains why all languages are the same because it was passed down through the generations. We don't know of any other human races rising from 65 million bc to all of the time in CT.
