Chrono Compendium's chronic wanking over the chronology of Chrono Trigger

God, I don't...I just don't know.


They have an entire section dedicated to trying to make sense of the time travel mechanics. Thing is, one of the biggest problems I have with CT's plot is its inability to portray time travel mechanics that make sense (to be fair, it is hard to do with the limited space on the SNES cartridge). But that's only one of my problems.


The second is that they seem really really dedicated to their Fanwank. That would be OK on its own, it's just that they're so bad at it that it hurts.

    Why don't you chronicle this topic?


     


    ...sorry.

    There is love everywhere, I already know

    I know that feel, except it's with Final Fantasy fans and their obsession with making a Dissidia multiverse (Y'know, because Dissidia as a standalone doesn't have enough of a convoluted and nonsensical plot for them to let it go).


    ^ Duuuuuuuude...

    In all fairness, FF is canonically a multiverse, so...

    I thought FF games were completely standalone stories that shared the same title and several recurring motifs/themes (duality, crystals, etc...)

    I'm pretty sure the only two related FFs are X and VII and not even then I'm 100% sure.

    a little muffled

    Tthat's why it's a multiverse and not a universe. Or something.

    Gilgamesh appears in multiple games, and is officially the same character in all of them, and FFIV: The After Years makes mention of the concept too.

    But isn't FF Gilgamesh just a fandom nod anyways? I haven't played The After Years so I wouldn't know about that...

    One foot in front of the other, every day.

    Didn't moviebob do a video on insane, stupid continuities? I think this is an example of where ignoring canon might be a good idea. Final Fantasy works to a degree as separate stories linked by common thematic and visual factors, just like any selection of films by a good, distinctive filmmaker or books by the same, strong author. Trying to weave it together via a "multiverse" reeks of taking its literal elements too seriously while ignoring the artistry of each individual entry. I mean, I think FFVI is an absolutely fantastic game, but that has nothing to do with any place in relation to other Final Fantasy entries -- it works entirely fine as its own, individual story, and it has a degree of conclusiveness most long-running series never reach.

    Reviving this.


    A good example of some fan-wank that bugs me is the idea that Lavos is sentient.

    It could be worse. They could be wanking about how Lavos needs to wear a giant silly purple hat. 

  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli
    yea i make potions if ya know what i mean

    >implying giant silly purple hats don't improve everything

  • AlkthashAlkthash

    Only Juan, Malk and Kraken know the hat of which I speak. And only one being is fit to wear that hat.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.


    is it this hat

    Yay, a broken image!


    Oh my god, it's a spiky turtle. That's actually pretty cool.

    Actually, that's Lavos' in game sprite/background in chrono trigger :p
    and I'm mainly testing something.


    which worked, yey.

    Lavos is an utterly incomprehensible being! He refuses to be mocked like this!

  • LaiLai

    You sure you mean Lavos and not Giygas?

    Uh-huh.

  • TheConductorTheConductor

    Galactus would OWN him.

    There's not a lot of things that Galactus can't own.


    Plus, Lavos got utterly owned by some kids, Kermit, WALL-E, and Voldemort. It isn't very hard to beat him, really.
