how do people feel about the chrono cross summary by Zeality

[sergecross73]

I personally thought it was a very good summary of the game. It helped me understand some topics that i've had some troubles with.  It brought things together for me, so thank you Zeality.  Two thoughts did come across my mind though as i read this, one thing Zeality said, and one thing about the plot.

1. At the end, you mention the possibility of serge and kid getting married, and i didn't recall seeing any references to that in the game, or even that many thoughts of that in the message boards. I mean, I always thought that she was going to try to find serge again, but i didn't of any proof of taking it as far as marriage. Sorry, i dont mean to criticize, it's just a thought i had.

2. It seemed to me that Kid never really understood who she was through out the game, she didn't understand that she's Schala's clone. So if she thinks she is a normal person, what the heck is going through her mind when she goes back in time to save serge from drowning, or takes him into Another world at the beginnning of the game?  I mean, does she have any idea what she is doing, or is it like how her pendant saves her from trouble, and she doesn't remember what happens?

Anybody else have any thoughts on the summary or my questions?

1) Read this topic : http://www.chronocompendium.com/viewtopic.php?t=26&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
To sum up, the man who standing near Schala/Kid on the ending photo is actually Serge; there's a drawing of this same guy in Missing Piece, we can see his face and it is clearly Serge.
What's more, I (the member FATE is me) saw on a website that Schala/Kid and Serge's clothes were actually, on that photograph, stylized Indian wedding clothes.

yes, thank you chrono'99, you're right about the whole serge and kid marriage thing. I even read that topic through before, but i only remembered the fact that you proved that it was serge in that photograph at the end, i forgot the part about the indian marriage clothes.

The second point is interesting. My only guess is that the Kid who saved him on the beach is the same who called him across the dimensions, but not the one who travels with him. This is a bit stupid, however, and contradicts the scripts. My last guess would be that Kid is simply duped to do those things by Project Kid, and that she has no knowledge of their purpose or perhaps does them without consciousness. That was a good question, Sergecross.

Thanks for the commentary; that article has been the most popular since its release, and has gathered the most hits in the shortest amount of time of any. I'm considering following it up with summaries on Trigger and Dreamers.

yeah, i figured that kid simply didn't remember it, just like how she doesn't remember what happens when her pendent saves her from trouble, but i also thought that this may be a subject that is already discussed alot, so that maybe someone already had an answer for it, different from what i thought.

and yeah, i think it would be a great idea to summarize chrono trigger and radical dreamers. I'd really appreciate it, and judging by the reaction to the chrono cross one, i think alot of others would too.
