Kino Ghost?

"[Prisoner]
   When I was still human,
   I was locked up here, and
   I have been here ever since...

   This tower is a fortress belonging
   to the ancient Reptites...
   A symbol of revenge, brought
   against mankind by the Dragons...

   With the defeat of FATE,
   the seal has been broken
   and this tower has surfaced...

   In the eyes of the Dragons,
   we humans are the foes...
   
   A brain that has developed abnormally
   to 3 times the original size in the
   span of 3 million years...

   We humans have evolved at an
   enormous rate because of our
   contact with Lavos's flame...

   In a sense, mankind is Lavos's offspring...

   We humans are extraneous to this planet..."

the name of the "prisoner" is never told, but in my opinion, it only could be one person.
Kino.
would it be a stretch of imagination that in a dead future in which Crono never saved Kino that he would still be held prisoner by the Reptites and brought to Dinopolis? I've thought about this for a few years now and so far I've never heard anything about it and no one addressed it.
it would answer one of the oddest questions asked about this game that has ever crossed my mind.

I remember either a topic or a tangent where we talked about this, but I don't recall there being enough evidence really supporting wtf the face was all about, really. It doesn't sound much like Kino, to me...*shrugs*

yea, definitely   more advanced speech than Kino,which didn't make sense to me either, i just figured they threw him in because of the whole 'Dinopolis back from the past' ordeal. i guess we may never know -.-

[Thought]

Actually, we do sort of know.

That Prisoner was going to originally be a recruitable character (Kato said so in one of his interviews), but he was cut because the game couldn't really handle yet another backgroundless character with a weird accent (you know he would have been given an accent if he were a PC). Thus, we can ask ourselves, "Given that they include a cave-woman who isn't Ayla, would they then turn around and include a cave-man who was Kino"?

Additionally, given that Dragonopolis was from the future, it is unlikely that he would have still been alive.
