Chrono Trigger Japanese ending different?

[neo-fusion]

I got an odd review on my flash that I released yesterday.

The reviewer said it comes so close to the japanese ending where Marle kills herself after learning that Chrono is dead....

Anyone have a video of this ending or can anyone shed some light on this subject.

Oh and if this turns out to be fake 

[utunnels]

It's fake.

Go check the retranslation or even a normal script, since if Crono is dead, Gaspar always appears out of the gate with the other party members, mentioning all about using the Chrono Trigger and stuff.

Meaning, no need for suicide.

Those damn kids, thinking what they think is the right answer! I swear, the worst of those kids is that one guy, Jack Thompson.

What about the after the fall of guardia, thats what I think the reviewer was trying to say.

[utunnels]

Fall of guardia is only a short CG in psx version I think.

At the moment, correct me if I'm wrong, as it stands, we don't know for sure if Crono and Marle ARE dead, just that they disappear. Anything could have happened at that point and I think even the Japanese are leaving it open at that point so they can have a storyline thats easier to continue on. If they DID kill of Crono and Marle, there would be a lot of pissed off fans that might not play any new Chrono game that comes out, and they're trying to make sales, not lose them.

IDK, if they died, it would also explain the apparitions of the kid versions of Crono, Marle, and Lucca that appear in Cross.

It would only kinda explain the ones on Opassa beach.

Except CTDS raised the possibility they might be the shade versions fought in the Dimensional Vortex dungeons. Also, there are plenty of theories as to the what the ghost kids are, their existence doesn't necessarily mean Crono and Marle are dead.

The ones in the vortexes are...from a different dimension (go figure)...I don't see how they could be the ones on Opassa beach...I guess it's sorta like the ones in the time crash then in some regard...

[idioticidioms]

when you mix time travel with dimensional travel, anything is possible and nothing is as it seems, so...

Who aren't even ghosts, they're solid and opaque, unlike the apparitions in the Dead Sea.

Oh and if this turns out to be fake

sounds bogus to me.  Just the other day I was googling a few site archives I used to frequent to look at their April Fool's jokes, and that sort of 'ending' seems about the tone as some of the stuff I would read.  SO my guess is if people (rather than just trying to pull your leg from that single post) actually have a following of that ending being in the game, then they were probably fooled by some sort of joke.

the japanese ending where Marle kills herself after learning that Chrono is dead....

Even though Japanese versions tended to be more serious and have their darker scenes edited out by SNES conversion, this seems a bit too morbid for the SFC.  I seriously doubt they would have a suicide in a rather lighthearted game like Chrono Trigger.

Just had to add that in.
