Why would you think than an incomplete ending would be the real one?  Incomplete as in you havn't done everything.
it's complete since reviving Crono is a sidequest.

Isn't RD seperate from CT and CC (as in, doesn't it occur in a different dimension or something than the two)
It doesn't really matter, I was talking about a RD point of view. In RD, he is dead.

...

My comment about the PSX ending was to prove that the true ending of CT has Crono alive.

PSX came after SNES.
And also, do ALL of the PSX endings got Crono alive? If they all do, then you're right.

All the endings?  I'm talking about the cutscene you get when you fully beat the game.

CT got 13 different endings afaik. Dunno how many of them got cutscenes in the PSX version.

That's precisely why the PSX version is truer than the SNES one.

Not really. Both are the same. The PSX one just adds something to the ending where Crono is alive.

Reviving Crono isn't a sidequest. Just because you can finish the BO after he dies dosen't mean anything. Reviving Crono is a part of the main quest, and everything after that is a sidequest... Except for the battle against Lavos, yes? Anyhow, you ought to think that bringing back Crono isn't so important... It's the process that matters. And a Time Egg really is something! And the Time Egg appears in Radical Dreamers, too. Being as you can finish Lavos through the BO without speaking to Gaspar, it means nothing, no?

You may be right, since you can finish CT at anytime of the game pretty much, there aren't side quests.
It still doesn't change the fact that Crono is dead in RD, though. ;p

Possibly, or it could be in a metaphorical sence. Like as if the Masamune and Einlanzer were both made out of dreamstone, they're basically brothers. The Dragonians could have still made the Einlanzer later, and the Masamune being made before in RD. The Einlanzer probably wasn't touched by the even of Lavos, so it stayed holy.

Not exactally true. The FF in RD is 2d. The FF in CC is 3D and shown in an FMV. The FF in RD is a jewel, in CC it's said to be a powerful Jewel aswell. Since RD was also the basis to get CC of it's feet, the change can be obvious. But besides that, they are the same, with new features. Simply with this Flame, Schala didn't get reincarnated. But most of the pre-history is the same.


The FF in RD is 3D. And since RD isn't part of the CT/CC universe, it's not a good idea to bring it into storyline discussion, so let's drop it >_>

Wasn't Einlanzer created to counterbalance Masamune's evil?

The Compendium assumes that all sidequests are canon for the sake of convienence. Not to mention that the ressurection of Crono is a story arc in of itself. (if you save, it says "The Time Egg" On your file, not "Final Battle")

CC pretty much over writes RD in terms of what we discuss, and RD could have simply been a simulation used by Belthasar to test Project Kid.
