# 605 - The party must track back to save two Vanguard, while Glenn continues the raid alone. He finds Vanguard and Porre troops discussing what to do with a small Mystic Den claiming to be fed up with Kasmir. The three Vanguard captains have differing opinions, and Glenn must side with one of them:

# Renault’s option: Help Porre raid the village
# This option will show Glenn giving into his distaste for the Mystics, and ravaging the village. Porre will give you thanks for helping them. You get attack-oriented armor/accessories. In 1005 A.D., tensions with Porre will have backed down somewhat, while Medina will become unfriendly. Montcrief will have been reprimanded for starting hostilities and demoted to Lieutenant General.

# Luther’s option: Prevent Porre from raiding the village
# Porre will express incredulity at this course of action and will send forth some soldiers that Glenn will defeat. The Mystics will thank you and give you a reward (magic-oriented armor/accessories). In 1005 A.D., however, you will find Porre to be much more hostile to you. Montcrief will be promoted to High Commander of the Armed Forces of Porre.

# Roget’s option: Declare neutrality
# This provokes a dismissive reaction from both sides. When it's over, the Mystic and Porre fighters will have been eradicated to the last man. The corpses are available for looting, and thus you obtain far more items than you would with either of the first two options. In 1005 A.D., both Porre and Medina will be unfriendly. Montcrief will be normal.

Ah, but Schala, obviously you are NOT safe there! One Porrean has already come and gone through there...and we all know where you end up, anyway! So...the only question is, what goes wrong?

Actually, I have another question...is there any sequence of events possible that prevents Chrono Cross as we know it? The TD and Project Kid and whatnot...Lynx burning down the orphanage...

I wonder if there's an ending that leads to the CC story and one that leads to RD? That would be cool! =D

Question:

If you guys were told by SE that regardless of how, if any version of this leaked, you would face legal consequences, why not release the more updated, and bug-free version? >.>

Square might be lenient because only the buggy, 75% version got out. If the more complete, more fun 98% beta got out they might be more inclined to sue.

Hm...this is really a worst-case scenario, but what if they DO press charges? Would you just go ahead and release the 98% one then? I'm just saying...once you're sued, you're sued.

I sincerely hope it doesn't happen. Really! Don't take this as "Gee, I hope they get sued so I can play CE!" I would never want that!

It's hard to sound sincere through a chat board; even so, SINCERITY OOZES FROM THIS POST.

I don't think so.  Square would probably just sue them AGAIN for the release of the Beta.  so it would just be getting double the fines, and maybe even Jail time for being a repeat offender.

If they put these guys in jail I would personally see to it that Final Fantasy XIII's sales were cut at least in half.
