Discussion VideoGame / ChronoCross

I don't know if it applies or if it would be under another trope name, but the initial tutorial fight with Radius might be considered a "Seemingly Hopeless Boss Fight" in that you don't always need to die to end the fight. You can survive every single one of his attacks on a NG+ run due to your increased stats, if you take the fight seriously, and he even has unique dialogue for it.

I'm a messy editor or I'd put it in myself. Most wiki sites have less-than-intuitive tools for things like embedded links.

Just a thought.

I don't know, as pointed out on the main page, I didn't really get the vibe that 'Humans Are the Real Monsters' being one of the main points in this game. Like, it's outright stated by some characters, and understandably so in some cases due to their experiences with humans, but considering that some of the characters saying it are just as bad, if not worse, in their actions (the most obvious being the Dwarves, but the reptile people of old being another good example), it comes across like the game is saying that sentient beings in general need to learn to stop letting hatred, prejudice, and/or just plain lack of empathy for other peoples lead to destruction, pain, and death.

What were the developers trying to accomplish with the game's Green Aesop? It keeps telling us humans are Humans Are Bastards that destroy the Earth but shows very little to back it up, and the fact that it acknowledges that humans stopped Lavos and that you, as humans save all reality pretty much makes it into a Broken Aesop, and to top it all off, your characters aren't affected by the message the game keeps trying to shove down their throats. And why exactly did somebody think that a sequel to Chrono Trigger needed a Green Aesop anyways, that doesn't fit with anything in the original game.

Trying to figure out where this would fit in:

Since the hero is a silent protagonist, you are often given menu options "yes/no/etc." for dialogue spoken to your team mates by NP Cs. At one point, Korcha asks Kid to marry him, and this sort of option appears about how to respond. No matter which you select, Kid elbows Serge in the stomach and says "Serge, this is none of yer business. It's me own problem!"

in regards to the Lethal Joke Character entry... I've never seen reference to Poshul being nearly as good as mentioned in this article, nor have I witnessed it firsthand. Should this trope be scrapped from the article?

This page needs a serious natter cleanup. It looks like somebody came through a while back and started arguing with every trope entry they didn't like and now it's a giant mess.
