Chrono Trigger - Schala Project (Community Project)

@ Mav: Yes, that's what I said in Rox's thread... I think her attack techs should be centered around heavenly bodies. (Starfall is calling down small stars to explode and damage an enemy, Comet calls down a huge ball of light, and her last tech is a blast of holy sunlight or something... That's what I had in mind, anyway)

And yes, Schala's affinity should definitely be Light. Affinities should reflect on personalities, I think.

When was this supposed to be canon, Boo? This was non-canon from the start due to Schala's fate changing.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

That's true... Good point.

It just seems weird to tack on a fourth element... But to each his own!

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Actually we were gonna give Schala "Light" with the actual element being a relative, like how Ice is related to Water, and yet Marle is not listed as Ice but as Water, like Frog.

One, no need for the @ since you can just quote if necessary. I did it to make a point.

Two, I agree with Star being her actual element. How about she use Skygate like Zeal does?

No no

, I didn't mean to say that we should include a new element: I always considered Marle's element and Frog's element to be the same, just with different names, so couldn't Schala's element technically be the same as Crono's element, just with a different name? Basically what Darkman said, just with more words.

Oh and, yeah, I followed Rox's thread for quite a while--a lot of information we're going to end up needing for this project can probably be found in that topic.

Dark is not considered a combination of the other three elements at all.
Spekkio mentions it as an independent category when listing the magic types. I'm sure he would have mentioned it. I was thinking we could just state in the game that prism is a sub category of light, or the other way around. If we did add in a different category of magic, I think we should change Spekkio's dialogue to mention it.

[Chocobo_Fan]

Antipode and Delta Force are Shadow. I think that's enough proof for you.

Also, I seem to recall Spekkio saying somewhere (in the Retranslation, I think) about Shadow being a combination of the others... Or was that someone in Zeal? o_o?

[mav]

Well, here:

   Magic's made up of the four powers Sky, Dark,
   Fire, and Water.

He doesn't, however, ever say that Shadow is just the other three elements, but contends that it's a rare element. So I guess we don't have a definitive answer either way...

[Chocobo_Fan]

Hm, I see... Could have sworn I saw it somewhere, but oh well... Like I said, Antipode and Delta Force being Shadow should be enough proof.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Use it on a Golem and see what you get.

[Chocobo_Fan]

People have already tried it. (the fight against Magus is a good one, too) Also, in CTDS there's a "dojo" that lets you view information on every character tech you've seen in the game, as well as their elements.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Do they show demonstrations of the Tech?

[Chocobo_Fan]

Nope, just a screenshot, unfortunately. (Most of which are rather spoilerific, as some of them show spoiler-y bosses and Janus in the party...)

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Oh, well. They'll live.

since everybody thinks we should have her techs light or heavenly, heavenly peal would be a good on to use. Dreambind could be her magic category and it could be a branch of dark since it is used by dd.
