Chrono Cross Ending Enigma

[ZeaLitY]

This has been on my to-do list for years, if you can fathom that. In ZeldaDude's Programmer's Door FAQ, there's a bunch of hooey about getting Kid to change costumes or getting a secret key. The FAQ was borne from topics on Gamefaqs; we all know from the innumerable Prerelease legends that using Gamefaqs forums as a source is a good way to corrupt any real information with spam and lies. That should blow his FAQ to bits, right? Well, there's an issue. Kid does change costumes, at least once.



All right, let's get down to business. First:

****This guide can not under any circumstances be rerepresented in any way shape

Here's the abysmally formatted FAQ:

************************Walkthrough to the Programmers Door and Development
Ending**********************

   The hardest thing to understand about the CC Development ending is it is
totally sporadically random, and events you accomplish, never occur the same way
again
twice. And since every time you go through the game you take a different path or
branch, it can have strange and abnormal effects on the way the ending is setup
itself.
For instance once you get to the ending, the man in front of the door will say
something to the tune of: "There are many different people in the world. Find
yourself and then you may be able to discover whats inside. .......... is for
specification."
However, if you are to travel through the ending while completing certain parts
of the story which deal with Serges identity you advance the plot in a totally
different way.
If you decide to complete the game in such a way where Serge has issues ever
completely agreeing with people or discovering his dark side, it effects how
things go. The idea of
and purpose of the way this game is played in these circumstances, is to see
that Serge finds himself. For instance, using Harle to obtain the Black Relic
will skip an entire important
story segment. Now go back to the man who stands in front of the door. He will
be saying "........" with nothing else coming from his mouth. Thus since
"........." is for specification, what
you have done believe it or not, is changed the outcome of the game where Serge
has found himself and taken on a new "him". The strange thing is Serge is not
the only person it
applies to. When you go to the music room, you may recognize a mysterious
shadowy figure standing near the door. Approach it and it tells you to leave but
it is Kid. You learn in the game
that Kid is actually Schala, and she likes certain kind of music, the kind that
brings up the past for her. The analogy behind these avenues is simple:

Story A1: Serge treats others in a way which he himself usually lives as during
the game, Harle takes the black Relic, Serge recognizes his purpose before
entering the Sea of Eden.
Man in front of door changes his speech to "............". You may wonder what
or how it occurred.

Well in story A1, Serge acted differently between Story B where you actually
have to fight the time devourer to get to the developer ending(during new game
+)and meet the man at the door.
Therefore, the story which effected the change was not in the story leading up
to getting into the development ending, but the one from the preceding. Thus as
many different ways as it's
possible to complete Chrono Cross, as many different strange odd and
unexplainable events occur inside the development ending. This is the strange
thing about it.

Story C2: Kid takes on the role of Serge and throughout the game completely pays
attention to others, ignoring the duties of herself, Kid is saved by the Hydra
Humor from Norris, is rejected by Serge
when trying to join in Termina. Walking into the music room and playing her 3
favorite tracks, 21, 64, and 15, Kid suddenly does not appear in her shadow
form, but instead presents herself in a red thief
costume, you see first at Cape Howl. Again the way it happened is puzzling.

Well once again in story C2, Kid was primarily giving orders rather then taking
them, she was making the role of Serge be her domain, something that is not
normal to the CC flow. But particularly
when her thieves outfit came up, it represents her own pride and gleam as a
thief, giving out the orders rather then taking them. But according to the songs
she heard, it caused her to want to take
on this role so to speak. It's very interesting because almost all secrets the
programmers have left in the developers ending are like this.

After experimenting with the criss crossing of storylines, it's time to pay
visit to the main center: The music room. Here you can do a number of things but
they must be in order and in no way
should you not follow the instructions.

Enter with Serge's Spectra Swallow Equipped and enter in and out of your menu,
checking the Status. Once you get back out, Kid will be in her orphanage costume
wearing it from the top down.
The reason this occurs is Serge's identity is taking on a color or station of
passage which Kid remembers, causing her to immediately come out of the shadows
in that particular orphanage outfit.
It's very interesting how the programmers have outlined this and when looked at
closely you can only guess how well it was done:

Regular swallow: No effect, kid stays shadow
Mastermune: Same as previous
Copper swallow: Same as previous
Stone swallow: Same as previous
Silver swallow: Same as previous
Spectra swallow: Causes kid to appear in original Orphanage costume

After this event occurs, Kid will now appear off screen to be nodding her head
up and down to the music as if a beat was going on in the room. At this point
you should take the time to play the
musical tracks carefully:

21- Kid will usually like, nodding her head sporradically. Keep on it for as
long as possible when she's not nodding particularly if you have met the
requirements previously for her thieves outfit
15- This track Kid really likes, she will nod her head a lot and very often to
the beat of the music, but there is no way to tell when she'll stop or start
saying no again so carefully pay attention too
65- This track which is basically the fire burning theme of her Orphanage, will
get her very distraught. Do not play it unless neccesary

Let me just pause there to say HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

09- She seems to like this track regardless of what time you play it at

However it is important to note one thing: Regardless of your preset actions,
anytime Kid nods yes more times, the track is good, and must be kept for the
effect, any time she shakes her head no more times,
on any given musical piece it means the track is bad, and must be changed as
soon as possible. What the programmers were doing here is hard to follow, but
with the right details you can stay on track.

Most likely after the required have been completed, Kid will next change to her
Thieve's Outfit, which is red.

It's at this point you need to continually play the crystal theme(52) which
reminds herself of Schala and the entire fiasco with Lavos, in order to cause
her to sporadically change into her white gown.
This part gives you access to a new state of Kids character, and it's integral
for the planned patterns
If Kid has successfully turned into her white gown, you now have the chance to
give her leeway enough to pickpocket the guy next door.
You may have noticed how she constantly talks about nonchalantly, that she is
not trying to steal from the guy in the corner. In reality she
is, but without getting this far it is impossible to make her steal successful.
The point of continually playing the tracks, until you feel Kid has
found herself(her schala self that is) is because it makes it possible for Kid
to pickpocket the man in the corner, giving an item which does not
appear on any menu, just like the key of the ghost ship. The trade is obtained
in almost the same way, but without the exact timing, and knowledge
of preset events it can be extremely difficult triggering it. That is why this
FAQ is here to help in any way possible.

Remember that as you enter or exit the menu, Kid will have the chance to then
change her outfits and get closer to pickpocketing the man. Keep on
continually entering in and out of your menu, as it is one of the fastest ways
to speed along all changes.

If you exit the programmers music room, at any time, and do not take time to
equip that weopon you will be started over and Kid will have
reverted back to shadow next time you enter. This frustrating setback is what
sets apart it from the rest of the quest.

The key has no use, talking to various people they will not say anything about
it. We now believe the key to have some other form of a use, but that is in the
theories
speculations in the next section.

So to recap, we learn that the way you play the game has an effect on the Programmer's Ending. Then we learn that simply equipping the Spectra Swallow can outfit Kid in the orphanage costume, so apparently all that stuff about playing the game is a complete fabrication. You can try the orphanage costume yourself; it actually works. The thing about the key is a complete fabrication as well, as no unique strings for this kind of thing were found anywhere in the entire script of Chrono Cross (you can check). It might have used a generic "Picked up one [item]" stock line, but in any event, getting Kid to pickpocket would invariably entail some kind of unique dialogue.

At this point, the FAQ goes into a room modifier code that I'm about to try out to see if any of Honne's unused art is floating around. Until I post about that, this topic is an invitation for anyone to come forward with knowledge concerning or methods unlocking the other outfits or more information on this subject.

******************************Questions and Answers
Section*************************
How do you get into the development ending??
Complete the game once, then on the second time using new Game + beat the time
devourer with only Serge.
How do you get to the Programmers Door??
Walk straight up the stairs when you enter the room, and on the next floor lies
the door.
How do you get into the Programmers Door??
Input the gameshark code provided in this FAQ, and walk straight inside.
How do you use the Room Location modifier??
Input the gameshark code provided in this FAQ, and find Serge in any room.

Yeah, "find Serge in any room." That, along with the fact that he's provided two and three digit modifiers for a code requiring four digits, and the fact that his notes are absolute crap, mean that I haven't made any progress. If you can get this room modifier working as planned...Ah man, I'm so reluctant to pass this task off, because this topic will sit here for several months until one person magically comes along and does it within a day of finding it. I wish these kids kept better notes and were more fluent in their NATIVE ENGLISH TONGUE

[Kyronea]

Too bad he doesn't have the excuse of English not being his first language...there's this hilarious FAQ on Legendary Pokemon somewhere in the Leaf Green Pokemon game section by someone who doesn't speak English for a first language...what makes it hilarious is that the spelling, word order,  and punctuation are all entirely correct, but the grammer is wonky.

In any case, I tried getting this room hack to work several months ago and failed miserably...I don't think it can be done.

[Beeyo]

Drugs do crazy things to people.

[Mavix]

Your tellin me. look what cockain did to santa clause. the reason why his nose was so red is because it was all about the blow.  (off topic I know. but i had to say it. muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah.............ha...)

[Beeyo]

Why would he go through the trouble of doing all this if none of it is valid?

[Vehek]

So far, you're...really not helping.

[nightmare975]

Just wondering Zeality, did you take that picture?

[ZeaLitY]

Just wondering Zeality, did you take that picture?

Someone on Gamefaqs did. I can't even remember who; that's bad, since I try to credit all contributors...

[Vehek]

I found a cached version of part of that GameFAQs topic on Google. The user who provided that picture is ninja_lootz.

[Dark Serge]

What is he bragging about Harle taking the Black Relic? You lose Harle before you can even do the Dragon Quests, so that's not right.

Also he says if you advance in the game you get a different developers ending. Too bad you can only get that ending if you beat Lavos directly with Serge alone at the beginning of the game, so if you go advance in the story first, you won't be able to get it anymore.

[Dark Serge]

Well, I been there, and the Kid Orphanage outfit thingy works, but she won't change into her white dress no matter what tracks I play.

Also, I used the Walk Through Walls gameshark code to go through the Locked door, but there's absolutely nothing. If you disable the cheat while on the stairs or behind the door, you'll be stuck, wich means they made the terrain unpassable, and wich already gives away they didn't put anything behind the door.
If you leave the code on, walk up the stairs and enter the doorway, the game will start to act weird. You know, graphical mess-up, all that. You won't be teleported anywhere, either.

So behind that Locked door is absolutely nothing, and the creators didn't mean to have you unlock it or something like that.

[Clovis15]

This sounds like a Grade-A Wild Goose Chase to me (or maybe even a snipe hunt).

[ProjectoR]

Dont listen to ppl that say there is nothing behind the door, it could be a secret that only certain ppl find. its been 8 years and nobody has been through that door the legit way?

im starting to think that there might be a portal or secret that not even the developers know about, maby along the lines of creating the game, they stumbled onto something they couldnt explain.

have you ever thought maby that a link can be created between a video game world and this world we live in? This topic has been brought up before in movies and games.

has anyone spoken directly with teh creatopr of the game about it? or emailed him?

maby teh guy that changes the room green or blue, has a conenction.

also at arni vilalge before i took off to fight teh boss, i went into a house and this person said somethinga bout "MEGA-BABE-CHICKS......"

and in developers room someone mentions "black hair, black hair, red hair, red hair, black hair, red hair.

this is my first time in the developers room, today, and i definatly know that door holds a secret, no doubt in my mind.

i plan to open this door it might take years, or a whole ETERNITY itself.

[ProjectoR]

one more thing that cought my attention (first timbe being in dev. ending)

there is a skeletor that is trying to fight the black dragon, and says" theres no use i cant win"

maby with a certain object he can beat him, then something progresses from there on.

thank you to all  the members that posted all thsoe helpful hints about the music and all.
