It seems like Chrono Trigger uses a similar naming system to Final Fantasy VII in that (at least) party characters names are bracketed rather than typed individually.. like {CLOUD} or {AERIS}, for example. Interesting. ^^

History, Locations, and Artifacts / Re: Fall of Guardia / Viper

This is my (GlitterBerri's) translation. Jacqui's was fairly good, but since you seem to be very interested in the exact wording, I take issue with a couple of things. Viper says only "After the death of the kingdom of Guardia," and does not say that he will be actively participating in its downfall (ie: finishing it off himself). A movement into Parepori isn't mentioned either, nor getting back at anyone, ー泡ふかせる translating to "to give a surprise (or blow); to scare the hell out of." The Parepori people are called たわけもの, fools or tricksters, perhaps leading to Jacqui's "laughingstock" interpretation. I hope that clarifies things a bit.
