Gaspar confirmed to be cut 8th character for Chrono Trigger!

[Magus22]

Totally awesome.

And now I am sure you all remember this during your CT playthroughs...

[Dialga_Palkia]

I can definitely see the next Chrono game featuring the Gurus of Time plotting a way to save Schala as Magus as the lead MC.

[ZealKnight]

I somehow see the three gurus try to rebuild Zeal under Magus's leadership in the future. Magus for main character FTW!!! (not really I want dialogue from him and a silent protagonist)

Well, being the main doesn't mean he has to be silent...

[ZealKnight]

But I said I want one.

[Lennis]

Why would you want a silent protagonist?  Because it's traditional?  That really limits the potential character development in the story.  It's one of the few old-school RPG conventions I think is best left in the past.

[ZealKnight]

Because I feel the game really is in my perspective.

[Mr Bekkler]

I could go either way, honestly. As long as the game's good.

[Thought]

Great find!

To offer an alternate perspective: "Sage" may not so much be Gaspar as they re-used his sprite. As the translation states: "It's a waste not to use it..."

But that aside, it does explain why there isn't a Zeal character to recruit (the party does recruit at least one person from every other time period, though I suppose Magus might count as Zeal's contribution). I'd have loved to see his dungeon, though.

[Nocturne]

That's a wonderful find! :3 I secretly wish this was a PC game now, because with some PC games you can tinker with the files and find missing mobs/quests. >_> I would love to see his play style and dialogue.

I wonder; what if Gaspar is Radius in CC? Both are old, have interesting garbs ( okay a trench coat can be cool) that resemble the Zealian period ( Doesn't Radius have a garb that loosely resembles one of the three guru's during the Zealian period? ) and seem to have adequate knowledge on the past.

I don't believe so. I just feel he is knowledgeable in the word due to his age and experiences in the Acacia Dragoons. Personally, I believe that there is a connection between the two, but only in appearance and personality. They may have used him to fulfill the void they missed with a sage in the first game.

[HeadlessFritz]

I understand why he was not implemented :

1 character from 2300 A.D.
0 character from 1999 A.D.
3 characters from 1000 A.D.
1 character from 600 A.D.
1 character from 12 000 B.C.
1 character from 65 000 000 B.C.

Present gets a bit too much love, but in a way Crono, Lucca and Marle are the main heroes. Now why would Dark Age get 2 heroes  (Magus and Gaspar) ? More importantly, we already have a kickass wizard... What role would be left for Gaspar ?

Personally I would have added a hero from the apocalypse to maximize variety.

[Licawolf]

The 1000AD characters are a basic RPG ensemble 

Maybe Gaspar could have been the character from the End of Time.

Personally I would have added a hero from the apocalypse to maximize variety.

I think this is a really neat idea. I wonder what kind of character it could have been, another human?

XD That kinda got me thinkin.

[utunnels]

I'd like to see Johnny joining after you beat him in the motorcycle race.


Edit*

Ah, you mean apocalypse, so that is 1999 AD?

[Mr Bekkler]

You save the Director from the video you see in 2300, then you have to make a fake version of the video to prevent the paradox of your never seeing the vid you stopped.
