In Terra Tower, there's this face that talkst ot Serge and co. He says that he's been there for a long time and such. Do we ever find out who/what it is?

Presumably just a Chronopolis soldier that got caught.

Yeah. I think he was going to be a playable character at one point too, but they dropped him.

He knows Serge's name and mission ("you finally made it Serge"). That's weird because he lived as a human before the Polis war, he was probably a Chronopolis scientist then, but those scientists shouldn't know about Serge ( = about Project Kid).

Maybe he was supposed to be a confident of Belthasar or something.

This is true. Very interesting, very confusing. I don't think there's really an answer for this. Unless maybe it's someone who was influenced by the Entity after being trapped there...? *shrug*

Correct me, if I'm wrong (you see, it's been a long time) but isn't there a head like that in Radical Dreamers? The face in Terra Tower in CC is similar to that of Viper Manor in RD (again, if there was actually a face in RD and not in another game  :?: )... Perhaps they were formed in the same way.

The face in RD is a lot different...and it doesn't talk...it's actually kind of a staple in adventure stories (i've even seen it in multiple RPGs) where the hero reaches bravely into the unknown, but something clamps down on him anyways...or it doesn't and he gets something...or w/e...there are variations on it...>_>

The stone face in RD is very different, but maybe the face in Terra Tower is like the stone face idea merged with the face in the mirror concept (also from RD). Or something like that. There's no way to know though since they cut the little bit of story which would have come with the playable character.

I'm interested... What is the proof to go with these statements?

Or is it some cruel joke, of which I have been forsaken of an answer?

I thought it was just the Lunar Dragon using the tower to give their message over. They sure despise the humans, that could easily be their message, that or Terra Tower itself is a living organism and that was it's incarnation (Well, it does transform after the Lunar Dragon is defeated).

That does make sense. I never thought of it that way.

The face in Terra Tower seemed to me at least reminiscent of the Mirror in Radical Dreamers that speaks to you.

Well, the person said that they were a prisoner of the tower. I wonder what the japanese version had.

Anyway, as prisoner, I think it might be Harle. As I said, the Dragon's know the history as they are close to the Earth. If Harle was the prisoner metaphorically as in she has no will to turn her back against her brothers and sisters and be with Serge, she is a prisoner in this fate and has no way out, so she has her say.
