Playing CT again. Marle's pendant.

[Magus-X]

I just started to play CT again for along time and I notice something again when Marle goes onto the warping machine and her pendant starts to glow. Why would her pendant do all that. It seems that the pendant is just a regular pendant. That is why it is so strange that the pendant made her go into another time. It could of been another item or thing that made her go into another time.

Have you ever beaten the game? If not, keep playing.

[GrayLensman]

Marle's pendant is made from Dreamstone which conducts and stores magical energy, such as the emanations of the Mammon Machine.

I don't believe the theory that the Entity caused Marle (and Crono) to go back in time instead of the pendant's doing it, so I wonder what the Frozen Flame (was it destroyed or anything?) would do if it reacted with a gate, since it is kind of the opposite of Dreamstone

[Sentenal]

well, what else could have caused them to go back in time?  in the original timeline, they didnt get teleported to 600ad, i think...

[ZeaLitY]

Yeah, the planet had to be aware of 1999 A.D. before it even began setting up the Gates for Chrono Trigger. That means 1000 A.D. did happen at least once in which everything was mundane and no adventure occured. Everything relates back to the Entity.

[Magus-X]

I forgot the pendant was made from the dreamstone. Doh I haven't played in months or a year or so. Yes I did beat the game that is why I am playing the game again because its such a good game. Other things to remember like the telapod and the portal to another era. One other thing that came to mind, when I beaten lavos at 1999 A.D. what happens to the world in that time. It should of let everyone who beat the game walk around the area in 1999 A.D. it would been cool because it is futuristic. That was my thought.

[ZeaLitY]

Heh, there's always Crimson Echoes...

Isn't it strange that there are still tons of highways in 1,999 AD and 2,300 AD? Lucca's Telepod should have replaced them.

it might not work over large distances

[Deus Chisa]

Another idea: due to the incident with Marle, the pendant, and the Gate, most people think that the Telepod is yet another one of Lucca's failures.  This steers the development of technology away from teleportation and towards locomotion.

EDIT: Remember, the transition from the pure Lavos timeline to Keystone 1 wasn't a single jump.  By the time the party even reaches the future, they've gone through two or three timelines.  The timeline at that point includes the Telepod accident.  The pure Lavos timeline may have had successful Telepod technology - and thus more survivors.

Maybe they never met originally, or they didn't find the pendant once it had fallen onto the ground, or Melchoir accepted Marle's pendant

by the way, what is Crimson Echoes?

[Sentenal]

As to what the change was that caused them to go back in time, we dont know, but I'm 99% sure that they didnt originally.

In the original time line most likely, Crono never woke up and went to the Fair late and missed the telepod opening, which was a disaster because his mom didn't wake him up.

[GrayLensman]

In the original timeline the Telepod didn't malfunction because there was no Gate there.
