I made a young Gaspar walking sprite, it's on my game's thread. I know TheMage is working on something cool too, but this is what I had :P :



Works in RM2k3

God, I'm in love with this new blush layout. Look at that page; it's now incredibly better.

Gaspar always had the best robes of all the Gurus. He would have made a fascinating addition to the game. I think, however, that the decision to cut him was apt. Chrono Trigger was too "bright" to include a character like that in the playable cast. He'd have been much more at home as the fourth member in Radical Dreamers, or the millionth member of the Chrono Cross playable cast.

Still, an astounding discovery! I bet Gaspar would be prominent in Kato's mind if the Dream Team or elements thereof ever writes another Chrono game.

Hmm... I forget, just how much was made for eight character Gaspar? He was cut so early I wonder just how different the whole story would have been with him in the party. How different of a character would he be? I guess he'd be much more talkative, he'd be so different. What would have happened at Zeal? Ugh finding out it wasn't human Glenn only makes me want to know EVERY scenario possibility he came up with!!!

Wow, that's pretty damn neat. I wonder when he was to initially join Crono & Co. Maybe to go get the Epoch? After your first trip to Zeal? Or maybe he'd be like a temporary character throughout the journey...Oh the possibilities....

Well, Gaspar is in your party. :P
In the character swap menu at least, right below your 3rd character.

The 8th isn't Schala...?

Excuse me for a moment...

Wow.  So cool.  Opens so many possibilities for what kind of twists and turns the story could have taken.  Great discovery to start the year with.  15 years on, and there's still new things to be found.  Thanks to everyone involved in their hard work, digging this up. Really neat stuff.

Honestly, I'm surprised it was him, not Schala, who was the eighth. Perhaps the Zeal Princess's role was decided long before though. Oh well. I can only imagine how it would've been to have him has a party member!!

Perhaps his rod/cane was some kind of sword so his fighting style would be like Radius.
Just got an random idea.

A highly probable one as well... that or maybe he was more of a spell caster like Riddel or Guile, with a rod as the weapon.

I wonder; what if Gaspar is Radius in CC? Both are old, have interesting garbs ( okay a trench coat can be cool) that resemble the Zealian period ( Doesn't Radius have a garb that loosely resembles one of the three guru's during the Zealian period? ) and seem to have adequate knowledge on the past.

I'm pretty sure we can confirm that he is not. Let's not start this theory.
