Ok, I'm aware that like Chrono Trigger you can get multiple endings for defeating the Time Devourer at certain points of the game. My question is, for all of them save the, "official," ending, do you need to physically kill it? Considering you don't start off with the Chrono Cross in New Game +, I'd assume so...but I found that a tad odd (shouldn't it be the same as the bad ending?) It just makes more sense to me to do the Chrono Cross pattern to gain the additional endings, as it's the only way that really, "solves the problem.
