Just the area around Chronopolis (the theory was originally developed to help explain the Dead Sea, which is contained in only that space).
Mh, still we may as well expand that to the rest of El Nido in order to cover the furtune teller too. Or has another explanation for her ability already been proposed?
Hm, what you wrote before this is a good idea. I can't wait for the next analysis review.
I thought you might like it ^_^
"Keystone" Dimension & Timelines was just something I made up since it's the principal dimension that the games take place in.
Yes, but why did you choose the name "keystone"?
Yeah, I wish the Ghost Children would have been explained more. It also seemed inconsistent that they appeared in "chibi" forms or whatever.
You know, I suspect the reason they appeared as children was to avoid a conflict between the old cartoony style of Trigger and the new "realistic" one of Cross.
If the characters had been shown at the same age as in Trigger but with the style of Cross, some people could have gone "WTF that's not the way they are supposed to look! NOW THE SERIES IS RUINED!!!1!11". Conversely, if they had literally made polygonal models out of the sprites from Trigger, they would have clashed really badly with the new characters. Showing them as children however gets around the issue because they can reasonably be chibi even within the art style of the new game.
Were they really the deceased Chrono crew? Were they manifestations of the planet? Were they created by Belthasar, ghosts like the other Chronopolis staff workers? Sigh. Considering the evidence that Crono and Marle didn't die in the Fall of Guardia, the latter two explanations seem right, and yet, they definitely do seem to be Crono, Marle, and Lucca. They know things only the real people would know. So frustrating.
Evidence? You mean the drawings in Lucca's home? Or am I missing something?
I'd say it's possible given all the mucking around with time that occurs in these games (Dead Sea anyone?) that they could be ghosts of people that have not yet died.
But the line which I find really maddening is:
[Lucca]
Sorry for making you sad,
Kid...
You see, we no longer
exist in this time line.
That does seem to indicate that they all died... but who could have done in Crono and Marle? Unless someone managed to trap them in the past and they died of old age. That, I guess, I could see happening. But someone like Dalton taking out the slayer of Lavos? Not a snowball's chance in hell.
A guy in Home Arni tells you the rumor of Radical Dreamers.
Ah, nice catch!
In the Ultimania interview, Kato confirms that there are/were two versions of each Kid, Lynx, and the seven Dragons Gods. Six of the dragons were killed off (presumably by FATE); Home World's Lynx and Harle disappear in the Dead Sea along with the Dragoons (however, they are not present with the Dragoons in-game); and Home World's Kid is thieving on the Zenan mainland.
Ah yes, I thought I'd read that somewhere on the site but couldn't remember the page, thanks ^^
...though I still don't understand how the divided parts of a once single entity where able to start a family and reproduce (Draggy clearly lists a whole bunch of relatives). That's freaky...
As a result of the time clash, the dimensions split. The point in time where Chronopolis and Dinopolis was hurled to, another moon came in existence.
Ah, so the second moon appeared together with Dinopolis, I see.
...too bad it's nowhere to be seen in Kid's past when Serge goes back in time to get her out of the orphanage. Ah well.
So much was not explained efficiently
I know! I'd really like to see, rather than a retranslation patch, an "improvement patch" for this game, one that takes some liberties with the dialogues to give more straightforward answers (the ones we do posses, I'm not saying we should make them up) and make the interaction between characters a little more believable.
Like when you first board Fargo's ship and he goes "Ah, so you're not spies for Lynx, you came from a parallel dimension and he's been chasing you for some mysterious reason claiming you're the assassin of time, I see. I totally believe you, but I'm still going to beat you up and throw you into a cell. It's a pirate thing."
I was facepalming so hard my hand went through the back of my skull. How much better would it be if Fargo had said "A parallel dimension? Preposterous! You must be spies sent by Lynx. Have at you!"
