"Room 1" Chrono Cross Event Planner Interview Translated
« on: July 25, 2009, 12:43:23 am »
A bigger update will follow (probably in a few days), but I'm thrilled to announce the translation of Room #1 of the Chrono Cross Ultimania developer interviews with the event planning team. Naturally, GlitterBerri has delivered a sweet, robust translation! You can read it at Supporting Material Translation or click here and here. Glitter's been working on other projects too; go to BerriBlue and see what's been going on!

Holy smokes, Zoah WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS AWESOME BACKSTORY...damn. Was Zoah supposed to be the prince of...Guardia? Was Zoah intended to be Crono's and Marle's bebeh!? I mean, what other country in the Chronoverse has a monarchy?

Fantastic work Glitterberri, the Chrono fan community owes you one!

Awesome job.

Yeah, while all 3 other Devas have their back stories, all we know about Zoah is his nightmares that hint his painful past.
BTW, Zoah loves cats, isn't there som cat-lover in Chrono Trigger? :lol:

There are lots of things like that. For example, after you defeat the final boss, each character says a few words, but every character in the game has something to say. Since there are characters whose words are important, try to see them all if you can!
And they are pure evil, since only the character with smaller index in the part will say his/her alternate lines, so if you want to see all of them...do some math...

He's 28... although he could be Marle's loooooong lost brother.

You know? Age is one of the things that can change from this type of changes. But, considering how a war was the excuse to use the helmet, and since for Guardia's Fall it would be ridiculous to think of that case. On the other hand...

But on another thing... 64 characters?! Imagine if they had kept that. I wonder who might have been those extra additions. Dario could have joined? Even Serge's mom? I wonder...

Yeah, Zoah would have to have been Marle's long-lost bro deducing from his canonical age in the final version. Still -- whoa!

And damn the time constraints! Damn them, I say!

He was there to spy on the protagonist?
Well, if he's the prince of Guardia, how would he have a business with Serge?

Probably through Belthasar. You know he got Lucca and Robo into the plan, so he was also going to include him.

...Unless Zoah is the prince of Zeal, which would also fulfill the royalty requirement...

Yeah, I shouldn't have gone there. I'll stop now.

Yeah, it is still good material for fan-fictions though.  8)

Haha, well Faust, you know Zoah's gonna be the new hot topic here, so he's bound to get some wackier theories. And even though I often bitch about the amount of characters I'd still loved to have seen all 64...for whatever reason.

This was a truly great treat. I love these kinda interviews. Many thanks, GlitterBerri.

And with that, I accidentally knock Zoah's silver helm off, sending it
falling down through the night sky to the ground!
Gulp... did I just do that?
This is the first time I've ever seen his true face.
Even for a guy like me, I'm taken aback by his looks. His hair sways in the
moonlight, as his piercing blue eyes survey the environment below.
His beauty is different than a woman's... there's some sort of a fierce,
intrepid quality about him.
He is truly... a beautiful person.
Zoah's hand suddenly comes across my face, eagerly returning the blow.
"SERGE, LISTEN TO ME!"

You are awesome Faust.
But it seems not easy to knock his mask(?) off. :lol:

Looks like Zoah wears a helmet to me. Probably not easy to just knock it off.

Earlier, when I was reading this at Berriblue's, I was confused by "Room 1" until I realized there were more pages not yet translated.

Damn. "Zoah = Magus" as a workaround to dropping Magus from Guile fits right in with the fortune teller's explanation of a "dark, tragic history" (or however she phrases it).
