Polling / Re: Shakespeare vs. Chrono
« on: October 21, 2009, 04:58:57 am »I'm not a big fan of Shakespeare.
I'm not a big fan of the way the characters talk.
I also find his stories to be boring.
I think that Shakespeare is meant to appeal to classy people.
With Chrono you get cool characters who go though character development, and a interesting story.
With Shakespeare all I got was bored reading though his stuff.
Well that's my opinion anyway.
I respect his stuff, but it's hard for me to like it. It was made for a different culture. And things like character development have come a very long way since them, so you really shouldn't compare the two.
Given the choice, I'd choose Chrono though.

I'm pretty sure that's what the Chrono Cross is supposed to do in The Darkness Beyond Time. It's ridiculously complex and I don't understand it fully, but there's a page on this site that explains possibilities for both theories.

Maybe, but that's what it kind of suggested so I'm trying to make sense of it if that's what indeed happened. Isn't that what the Chrono Cross is supposed to do though? I might be wrong about that so don't quote me on it.

You mean like Stephanie Meyer who wrote the single worst thing put on paper (aside from Evangelion fanfiction) but knew her audience was a bunch of dumb teenage girls so it sold like hotcakes covered in white china heroin?

« on: October 20, 2009, 05:59:02 pm »QuoteI cry whenever in CC whenever I fight the Time Devourer and realize what the character designer did to Schala.Dayuuum straight! Give us our early 20s, blue-haired, full dress Schala, darn it!
Early 20s? I always thought she looked about 14 or 15.
And then she was like ten. lol
I'd like to see them explain THAT.

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Re: Kid and Schala merging/Kid's declaration
« on: October 20, 2009, 05:58:13 pm »Emm...the opening cutscene is the first part of the final one, when Schala "Kid" Zeal closes the book she has been writing. That is not an evidence. You can use it to prove both versions.
That's true, I guess. I read the plot summary (because it confused me) and it stated that Schala was writing the journal. Obviously Schala wasn't in the party ever, so why would she do that? I don't know, this is just speculation.
Also, I'm not really counting what someone would want to happen. I don't like the idea of Kid and Schala merging either, I'm just looking for what conceivably could have happened. Like for example, sometimes the things you really don't want to happen to a character happens, happens. Like, say, he dies or something in a situation more likely to kill a minor character and it comes rather suddenly. The idea of having any character able to die at any given moment is a good way to keep suspense going and it also makes the audience face a sad truth once in awhile, just like the surviving characters who just saw a friend die.
I'm not saying either of the Chronos does this, but sometimes what the audience doesn't want is the best thing to keep a show or game series exciting and immersive.

Polling / Re: Which Chrono character do you most relate to?
« on: October 20, 2009, 05:46:50 pm »
I like this thread too.
I'd say I'm most like Norris from CC. I try to let my own personal philosophy be more important than the things people want me to do. For instance, I'd disobey a direct order to stop an innocent from getting tortured by my own men. At the same time though, if I commit myself to something, I do my best to stay loyal and at the least, not abandon it (like Norris and his country). Also, I like guns. So that's a plus.

Having to decide whether to be truthful to Kid or to let her feel safe for just a few minutes right after her home is burned down and her surrogate mother is killed because you're about to disappear was downright heartbreaking.

Seriously? No one has anything to say about this? Must've been an older discussion than I thought.

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Kid and Schala merging/Kid's declaration
« on: October 18, 2009, 07:48:10 am »
I have a feeling this may be an old discussion, but if I'm not mistaken, if the two timelines did become one then Schala would have never merged with Lavos and Project Kid would have never happened, thus Kid would have never been "born". The character summary on this website states that Kid's declaration of independence suggests that they wouldn't merge, when the only real evidence to suggest that they did is Schala alternating between characters and also speaking as if she were with the party in the opening cutscene. The sad truth is that Kid would have been written out of history and thus, never existed.
But, I think Kid's declaration could have been the thing that merged her personality with Schala. She is shown to be incredibly strong willed and may have caused parts of her personality to imprint itself on Schala. Maybe it was her declaration of existence that saved her from being removed from it.
It also doesn't hurt that she carries around an incomplete time egg. That combined with her sheer willpower may have been enough to save herself.
