Way to go, Entity. You're lucky some Jimmy Durante-wannabe is an even better manipulator and willing to clean up your mess.

How did it do that, other than Lucca dying? It wasn't until the re-release of CT on DS that they retconned shit.

Chrono Cross' main problem is they didn't develop the whole Schala/Janus thing like they should've and just throw in Schala/Time Devourer shit at you in the end with not much explanation.

Crono is the spawn of Lavos. Lavos is also the entity. The whole cast are just puppets, their strings pulled by Lavos to orchestrate his metamorphosis into the time devourer. He opens the portals so you can go through time and murder timelines, which go to the darkness at the end of time where he can feed on them.

>>945915

It's deeper than that; look at a lot of fantasy and mythology, and you often see heroic figures are orphans; to draw examples off the top of my head, you have

Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Aragorn, Frodo, James Bond, Kullervo, Oedipus (sort of), Batman, Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights, that is), Mowgli, Vito Corleone, Taran, Rand al'Thor, and many, many more.
I suspect it has to do with being a convienent lead in to a number of "explanations" for the protagonists heroic stature, either some revelation of divine parentage, or why the protagonist is in training from the age of 6 or whatever, or even something as simple as immediately marking the character as different and special.

But in any case, it goes far beyond video games.
