Chrono Trigger

Age Name: End of Time
Music: The Brink of Time, Chrono Trigger, Crono & Marle ~ Far Off Promise, Delightful Spekkio

The End of Time is defined as the point of least resistance in the space-time continuum. An enigma, it appears to the party as a placid, dim setting, of platforms, a lamp post, and two odd inhabitants -- all set against swirling mists in the background. All Gates connect to the End of Time, and a bucket exists leading to 1999 A.D. Its true form is unknown, and some have speculated it to be a place similar to the Q Continuum of Star Trek. Regardless of its true qualities, it serves as the home base of the heroes of time, and also the abode of Gaspar and Spekkio. Gaspar, the Guru of Reason, arrived here due to the Ocean Palace Incident, and Spekkio's origin is unknown. He states that other people have ended up there by accident before the party's own arrival from the Proto Dome; according to another statement, four or more entities using a Gate will arrive here. Gaspar guides the party in their quest against Lavos, giving them advice, confidence, and even the Chrono Trigger. Spekkio meanwhile imbues the party with Magic, and serves as a trainer for combative skills. Lastly, the Epoch can be parked at the End of Time.

The End of Time's fate after Chrono Trigger ends is unknown, as Gaspar mentioned in one of the endings that the Gates were closing, and access to the area would be sealed off.

Chrono Cross

The End of Time may be the Bend of Time.

Japanese Equivalent
