That was recanted with the DS release of Crono Trigger.
plus please dont froget this includes radical dreamers
which was tied to chrono cross but came before it
there is one chrono trigger char that has been said to be in chrono cross magus
but the story for said char was changed, there is also the final boss? which if correct has ties to chrono trigger if right, cant fully recall been awhile
the true ending or something like that
looking foward to this, but best conclusion is to play each, and youtube the connections
as people have already done various connection videos and history videos im sure
so dug this up, and easter egg for anyone who frogot, another video i came across
which shows some more chrono trigger characters making cameos in chronocross
chrono cross connection to chrono trigger - just look up that and should be a video on one of the cameos
please note bound to be spoilers, as it also shows the cameo i mentioned @_@
also a recap there are some huge connections between chrono trigger and chrono cross
the cameo video explains a few of the major connections, but thats a later game portion, so i deff am not posting that
It wasn't recanted. The NDS version of CT simply added an ending to create a loose tie-in to CC's story, but it doesn't do much and it doesn't resolve the various issues with CC's story. None of the lead designers from CT worked on the NDS version of CC and most of the CT team was no longer at SE at that point.
It sounds like you're taking your own trip through parallel dimensions with that statement. Maybe look around in the thread that you're posting in.
The story of CC is so obviously not a clear or direct sequel to CT that I don't know why you're trying to pretend otherwise. Even people who regard CC as a direct sequel to CT, there is recognised that the story isn't without its flaws.
Chrono Cross Was A Bad Sequel, But A Brilliant Game
But I said that the comment by CC's writer, that CC isn't a direct sequel to CT, wasn't recanted with the NDS release of CT. It wasn't. So, I don't know why Gabby said it was. It wasn't.
I don't really care that you desperately want to see CC in the context of being a direct sequel. It isn't a creation of the same mind that made CT, or even any of the lead designers for CT, but its story is the sole creation of one person who worked on CT after being handed the basic framework for the story from other people, to flesh out together with other people still who kept having to revise his writing to pull it back into a more appreciable place. Narratively, CC doesn't have the same coherence and cohesion to it, and all that makes for a difference that raises questions about how the story can work as a clear continuation of CT's.
That one person took a tangent with CC and wrote in a way that isn't congruous with CT (which perhaps he tried to avoid needing to do by making CC a supposed parallel timeline - which itself speaks to the fact that CC isn't a direct sequel to CT), and left many questions / issues regarding the story.
Your personal desire to call CC a direct sequel to CT doesn't resolve the issues and misgivings that other people have about it. And your conjecture for why the writer of CC said it isn't a direct sequel doesn't decide the fact that he admitted there are issues with it being taken as a direct sequel to CT. A direct sequel should be able to be called Chrono Trigger 2. But as Kato said, " I believe that Cross is Cross, and NOT Trigger 2". And I love CC as CC and not CT2. Kato saying he "believes" CC is CC and not CT2 is a stronger statement than him conceding something for the sake of pleasing a demographic. He's talking about his personal belief.
Yes, it's a sequel. And Final Fantasy 8 is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7. In that sense, I don't think that anybody is in disagreement. Whether CC is a direct sequel and continuation of the CT story is what many people challenge.
In intention. In that it doesn't embrace what Chrono Trigger was and what its designers intended its story to lead to (the ones who kept revising Kato's writing because they didn't like where he was trying to go), but tries to find a way to take some elements of CT to delve into a different headspace that doesn't aim to be that connected to CT.
A better question would be: To what degree is that a continuation of the story? Kato's parallel world premise set up a loophole to avoid needing to carry over all the identity of Chrono Trigger. That doesn't make Chrono Cross a sequel that fulfills what CT was and carries it onward. It, by design, avoids addressing much that gives CT its identity so as to be free to explore ideas that aren't all coming from CT, but were tangents in Kato's own personal interest.
A person who wasn't connected to the writing of CT could dismantle the story of CT by writing in their alleged sequel, 'but it turned out that it was all a dream', and then make their sequel to CT about a boy who's a grocer and gets into trouble because they're constantly daydreaming. That wouldn't make that story an acceptable continuation of CT or a spiritual successor to it.
It can also be said that Star Wars episodes 7, 8, and 9 are sequels to episodes 4, 5, and 6. But they obviously aren't made from the same minds, and obviously don't feature the same qualities and character, and are incongruous with the originals in many ways.
Chrono Cross isn't terrible like the Star Wars prequel trilogy is. Chrono Cross is amazing and one of my favourite games. But spiritual and mental incongruities exist that make it notably of a different overall mind than CT.
Chrono Cross was written by just one person, whereas 5 people worked on Chrono Trigger's story. Further, the one person who wrote CC's story wasn't the originator / foundation-layer of CT's story. And his writing kept having to be revised and refined by other writers to produce the coherence and brilliance that make CT's story and world what it is. A direct sequel should be able to hold onto all of those things and continue where they lead.
But even throughout CT, Kato had in mind a different direction that he wanted to go in. And when he was the sole writer for CC, he spurned a lot of the spiritual composition of CT. And that spiritual incongruity again raises questions as to just how much of a sequel CC is to CT.
The term "spiritual successor" is used to describe things that aren't official sequels to other things, but which capture the spiritual essence of them and carry them on as if the same minds that worked on the original thing also worked on the "spiritual successor". Well, from CT to CC, there is a bit of the opposite effect: The same minds didn't work on it, and the guy in charge of the story was determined to not carry the whole spirit of CT over but to take things in the directions that others on the CT team had kept pulling him back from. So, CC can be said to not be a spiritual successor to CT. And that weakens its sequelness to CT and means CC is open to being qualified as to how much of a sequel to CT CC is - which implies it isn't a full direct sequel to CT.
This is not wrong either. There ARE relevances to the plot but Cross is also its own thing.
Of course CC takes elements from CT and works them into its story. No one has disputed that. But the style and usage of those elements features incongruities. The writer of CC was sometimes at odds with the other writers on CT, with the other writers of CT winning out over his view. And when he was the sole writer for CC, he not only no longer had the reflection that comes from having other writers giving feedback and input, but was able to take the writing to another place that wasn't entirely interested in being a sequel to CT.
In Star Wars episodes 7, 8, 9, there's a relationship to episodes 4, 5, and 6. That doesn't make episodes 7, 8, and 9 congruous sequels to episodes 4, 5, and 6. They are very, very far from being that.
Likewise, though CC is still a fantastic game, it isn't a congruous sequel to CT and, to an extent, doesn't even aim to be a continuation of the spirit of CT. The writer of CC admitted he didn't aim to make CC a Chrono Trigger 2, but the very best version of its own game that he could.
Return to Oz is also a sequel to Wizard of Oz. But it's somebody's take on a sequel to Wizard of Oz, and clearly doesn't taste like a continuation of the same spirit. When people watch Return to Oz, I think they don't view it as the continuation of the original Wizard of Oz film, but as what it is - a connected, but slightly dissociated take on the world presented in Wizard of Oz.
And American McGee's Alice is a sequel to Alice in Wonderland. But it's somebody's take on a sequel to the story, and is a very different conception of Alice and her wonderland than the original story had. And I think that people experience that additional story about Alice not as though it is intended to be the full and real continuation of that previous story of Alice in Wonderland. If Lewis Caroll were around, he wouldn't call American McGee's sequel to Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass a real continuation of the story.
I think the same is true to an extent with Chrono Cross coming from Chrono Trigger. Chrono Cross is a somewhat dissociative tangent from Chrono Trigger. And if the team which conceived Chrono Trigger, which kept steering Kato's writing away from the abyss in disapproval of his depressive style, were to comment, I think they would also say Chrono Cross isn't what comes after Chrono Trigger, but is only Kato's take on what comes after Chrono Trigger. And, as such, I don't think it's a full, real sequel to Chrono Trigger. Just like Return to Oz and American McGee's Alice, it's a slightly twisted and depressive turn from Chrono what Trigger's message is.
