Replace Korcha...UGH...

[Alastor]

Hello, all! I haven't posted here in a loooooooooong time. I haven't even got a clue as to how long it's been. Several years, i believe.

Just wanted to know if Korcha can be replaced with someone...Serious once Kid gets poisoned. I just can't have a dude with a fishin rod and red elongated speedo in my party. Someone like NeoFio or Luccia ain't gonna cut it, either... Wish i could recruit Glenn while taking this path. It's a shame how you can't go back and recruit everyone, regardless of the decisions you've made. You should be able to...*sigh*...Oh, well...

The IRC Chat isn't working for me, for some reason. Otherwise i'd just ask about it in there, instead of posting this topic. Sorry, folks...

The game wants you to have a bad relationship with Kid because of the original plotted ending where she joins Schala and Lavos to become the ultimate force of enmity

But yeah Macha's nice and sassy

Unfortunately, I think the best you can do is to recruit Leena in advance, because most of the optional PCs you might have access to at that point in the game if you're taking the Save Kid route are the silly ones.  The others would be Poshul, Mojo, Luccia, Greco, NeoFio, and maybe Skelly, and most of those would require either advance planning or some thrashing around.

Poshul is the best, though.

PO-SHU-SHUUUUU!

Leena has better stats than all of those characters, so it's worth giving Kid the cold shoulder at Cape Howl.  Leena's only real drawback is that her level 3 special is pretty weak, but her magic more than makes up for that.  Put a few meteor showers in her grid, and she'll become your main aoe damage dealer all the way to Fort Dragonia.  (If you were allowed to keep her as Lynx, the game would become too easy.  Imagine what a Lynx - Leena - Harle party could do to enemy groups.  Scary.)

LOL

For some reason, I did think Korcha and Kid made a good couple, judging from their looks.

A-Are you serious ?That marriage would finish in domestic violence in few days .Korcha is awful character.Such emotional scene, and they put him there....BTW, fact that Serge doesn't have his own boat from beginning of the game was another mistake in Chrono Cross.
To be honest, I was surprised when I find truth behind wedding photo.I cannot explain well, but to me Kid always looked as some kind ''free as wind'' character who cannot settle in one place....

That's because they're both gingers.

[Manly Man]

That's because they're both gingers.

Korcha's not pale enough, nor does he have freckles.

Trust me, I know my gingers. My creamy, sexy gingers...

Erm...

[Yourgingerestfan]

This topic scares me.

[utunnels]

This topic scares me.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't agree more.  If I ever get the Chrono Cross novelization off the ground, that will be rectified.  A curious twist I have planned has Kid owning the same boat in Another World, leading to some potentially amusing scenes between her and Serge.

Maybe it's because I found Chrono Cross to be so darn easy, but I rarely used certain characters due to their base stats - and rarely was it for innate elements. I normally chose characters based on their badassery-appeal. So Serge/Lynx, Norris, Grobyc, Glenn, Zappa, Fargo, Karsh, etc. normally made up my main party. Poshul made it in simply because s/he was recruitable so early on and his/her dialogue was so hilarious. And apparently I favored male characters (so sexist).

Turnip also snuck in from time to time, because I loved his Frog-like demeanor.

Korcha, meanwhile, never made it into my party. The Lost Boy reject was simply only good for his boat, and that was only half the time (the other half of the time was because of Macha).

(The hardest part about Chrono Cross was the fact that the steal commands could only be used once battle, which made stealing annoying at times. Of course, there were ways to reset elements, but...)

[Manly Man]

But... isn't Poshul female?

Perhaps after his father died (or turned into Lynx), their family suffered a hard time and sold the boat?
Neither does Leena own a boat. Or maybe that boat they used to save young Serge was broken after that day.
