...Give me a break. He's not translating it right out of a dictionary or something. There is absolutely no prefix or Japanese word suggesting they are step-siblings. Ted Woolsey inserted it on a whim.

And I like the whim, it could of given us more backstory.

Yea, backstory that's wrong. I could say Abe Lincoln had a half brother named Winkiedoodle Washington. It might add backstory, but it's not true.

You know, Chrono Trigger isn't real, none of those events happened, so in reality, I could say anything about what happened in CT even if it diddn't happen and you can't say I'm wrong. The facts don't exist.

...

You mean, he didn't?

Well, shoot, there goes that government paper grade.

Wrong. That's like saying because none of the events in the Bible happened, you can just go around changing stuff around. I don't think Christians would be very pleased with that, and, when considering Chrono Trigger, neither would Squeenix. It's their intellectual property, after all.

And it's the Compendium's duty to make sense of fact, not fanciful ideas, no matter how appealing..that's left up to fan propjects.

... I hate you all ...

Anyways, Zealty right, we can do whatever we want to it, until there's a new Chrono game.

It's not like we can't translate it. Hell, we could stick it in Babelfish and have it "translated." It's that we want the translation to be thorough, to ensure we don't miss anything important. One simple word can make or break a theory in this instance, and it's not a job we can so lightly shirk.

It can be done with Chronotools, but it's not officially planned right now.
