Chrono Trigger DS Analysis HQ (Spoiler Spoiler, of course)

[Vehek]

Huh. Do the other party members ever say anything when meeting the Lucca and Marle shades? There's "I see two of Marle/Lucca!" dialog in the game text.

[Dark Serge]

No, I don't think so. Actually I'm quite sure.

But how did you find that out? Did you hack the game?

[justin3009]

This is Lucca's Shade


Magus: This is--but, no!
Glenn: Another Lucca!
Robo: This is not possible!
Ayla: Two Lucca!?

Lucca: Who...who are you?
Are you really me?

[Chocobo_Fan]

o.O This is getting rather weird... The other party members had no reactions whatsoever to the other two Shades. Very odd. o_o? Maybe it's only in the Japanese version? Hm. Is there any text for the Alabaster Shade? (Marle's)

[FaustWolf]

Is it possible that the party members have a reaction only to the first shade they encounter, but not the latter two? For example, if you fight Marle's shade first, does everyone remain silent for Crono's and Lucca's shades? I played in the order Crono-Marle-Lucca, but has anyone else played in a different order?

[justin3009]

I have a save just before fighting Dalton.  So I'll work on killing him, then do the other shades.

[chrono eric]

Maybe the clones are previous versions of Crono/Marle/Lucca that got shafted to the Darkness Beyond Time throughout their journey and they are pissed about that. Doubtful, I know, but I don't really see a reason or motive why a Crono from a different dimension would want to kill the party.

Magus: This is--but, no!
Robo: I am seeing Marle Twice.

Lucca: What's going on?
Lucca: Marle?
Why are there two of you!?

Marle: Who are you?
Are you...me?



Lucca's Pre-Shade Text

Crono's Shade
--------------------
Frog: What trickery is this?
Frog: Whether you are a true Crono or no,
we'll not let you harm ours!

Lucca: What's going on?
Lucca: Don't think we'll go easy on you in a fight just because you're Crono!

Marle: Another Crono!?

Why do you want to fight us?

Ayla: Two Crono!?
Ayla: You not Crono!
Crono no do like that!
Never do!

Magus: This is--but, no!

Their text is pretty much exactly the same with maybe some slight differences.

[Chocobo_Fan]

Weird, but interesting... I wonder why the text doesn't appear in the US version? o.O Strange...

Interesting nonetheless, however. Thanks a ton for this, Justin!

[Vehek]

It might be, as FaustWolf suggested, that the other party members' reactions only show up for the first shade you fight.

[Chocobo_Fan]

Hm, that seems like the most plausible answer, but that's still strange. o.O I wonder why the developers chose to do that? They should have kept the text for all the Shades. :(

[mav]

Wouldn't it get kind of redundant? Aside from the characters' reactions to seeing themselves (like Lucca seeing her clone specifically), the reactions aren't all that different...

[utunnels]

If you go to 1000 A.D. Time Vortex without Crono, you can fight Dalton, but you can't proceed because of Crono's absence.

[Belaith]

The text appeared in all three shades I fought. I remember because I defeated Dalton but was not aware you could go any further. Then I went through the other two and found out you can. I fought Marle, then Lucca, then Crono. All three had something to say.

[utunnels]

I can't see how Home World would remain, as that is the dimension where the world is eventually destroyed by Lavos. I guess the base was Another World, and some things from Home World were thrown into that. Like Serge surviving for example. But I don't think it would erase events that happened outside of El Nido, for some reason.

Schala said 'unified', so that means the new world is neither home world or anothers world,.

I used to have another question: Time was divided since 1010(and some events were differed since then, like the man gave up to be a fisherman, the girl gave up to became a poet), does that mean these two world were the same before 1010?
But since the trio failed to defeat Lavos in home world, which(their time travel) was an event before 1010, so the hypothesis doesn't explain it at ll.

So I have a feeling that another world is not based on 'fall of Gardia' time line, when Time was divided, something might be changed.
