This is my ROM hack for Chrono Trigger, and since this is a first for me ever it may not be as good as I want it to be. I'm using Temporal Flux 2.0 to do this, and so far it's been alright sine I'm getting the hang of things. Anyway, back to the ideas I wanted to kick around...
If you beat Lavos in the end of the original, watch the white screen before everything fades. You see a black sillhouette of the heroes, right? You also see the silhouette of Lavos' left bit. This is where the story will originate from.
Five years have passed since the defeat of Lavos took place. Five years for everyone to gain a more peaceable and normal sense of time and of themselves. Chrono and company returned to their respective times to continue in their lives as they had gone to do before. But something was not right...
Every night for the past five years Chrono has had nitemares. Nitemares of a place cold, dark, and lonely... where not even death could reach him. He felt like his soul had been copied... trapped by a source of evil. Lavos' hideous laugh always echoed throughout. What were the meanings behind these visions?
Was Lavos really gone, or had part of him survived?
In this new game, the first addition to the team would be, instead of Robo, Magus. Once I figure how to edit their sprites, I'll be giving each character a new look. The additions would go: Magus, Glenn, Robo, Ayla (considering Marle and Lucca are already there, of course.) The Chrono Trigger would return, of course, but the Trigger would be used for Magus instead of Chrono and would be used in a side quest, a story that I have not finalized yet. In adition to fighting Lavos, there would also be a cloned team of your party to fight. These clones would appear before the second form Lavos fight (in the shell as you're walking) as well as with the third form Lavos (replacing the left and right bits). The cloned team would be the same level as your highest player, and would be capable of using learned Techs and Magic against you. So if you were fighting with Chrono, Glenn (Frog), and Robo, the cloned party could use Luminaire, Cure, and Shock against you.
These are just ideas right now, but it would kick some serious ass if I could get them to work. Oh, also you would meet an old "friend" in Heckran Cave... Dalton and his GolemBoss.
