1. About This Document

=======================================================================



The term FAQ is misused a lot, so I would not use the term FAQ to 

classify this document. This document was created with the purpose of 

throwing some light into the convoluted plot of Chrono Cross. As I a 

Chrono Cross fan myself, I purchased the CC Ultimania Guide, as well as 

the artbook collection, Missing Piece. But I will do the translation of 

the CC Ultimania Guide, since it contains important information about 

the plot.



Please note that if you have not cleared the game, you might not want 

to carry on reading, because this entire document is nothing but 

absolute spoilers. You have been warned.



Please also note that although these sections were taken directly from 

the CC Ultimania Guide book, and it was explicitly stated that the 

information was gathered with the help of the scenario write-cum-

director Mr. Masato Kato, I would like to stress that the information 

here may or may not be 100% accurate. Furthermore, my not-very-good 

Japanese might have marred the translations a little. So, please draw 

your own conclusions.



In all the translated sections, I have tried to translated each 

sentence in Japanese word-for-word, without diluting it with my 

personal opinions. Hence, you may find that the translation sounds 

weird or sounds off. In case where I feel that I need to insert my own 

opinions, I will enclose them in square brackets only '[]'. Where I am 

unsure of the translation, I will usually put '[???]' or '[not sure].' 

Any other brackets are from the CC Ultimania text.



You will and shall only find this document on www.gamefaqs.com. Please

do not put this document up on your website without my permission. 



If you have any contributions you wish to make for this document, or if

you have a copy of CC Ultimania, and think that I have mistranslated,

please let me know at the address above. 



Thank you, and enjoy.

3. A Guide to Understanding Chrono Cross (Translation)

=======================================================================



In this section, for the sake of understanding the story in Chrono 

Cross, we have selected the parts that were thought to be particularly 

difficult to understand, and the related links to previous games and 

explained them together. The contents here will be fairly in-depth, so 

if possible, we would want you to clear the game before reading this. 

And, this section was completed with the help of scenario writer, Mr. 

Masato Kato.





------------------------------------------------------------------

FROZEN FLAME

------------------------------------------------------------------



"The Frozen Flame, which is able to heal all illnesses and fulfill any 

dreams." - Radius



The Original Form



"This is the essence of what descended from the heavens in the 

prehistoric age. The living crimson stone... the Frozen Flame!" - Lynx



The Frozen Flame was a generic name of a fragment of a life form, and 

it existed from somewhere in the ancient past. The Frozen Flame that 

was a point of issue for this game was found in AD2300 in El Nido. And 

in this fragment, contains immense power and is a very dangerous 

artifact.



It is said to have the power to manipulate time, and grant wishes. But 

that power is only limited to the one who can master it. As if the 

stone itself chooses its user, it is called the "stone that has a mind 

of its own." Because it is seen on its outside as a red, shiny stone 

that seems to burn, it also bears the nickname "Shiny Flame."



The Arbiter of Time



"It is now up to you, the one whom the Frozen Flame has chosen as its 

"arbiter"..." - Marle



Other the person the Flame has personally recognized, the Frozen Flame 

cannot be touched by anyone else. [how about FATE?] The "Arbiter", is 

the one who can do so - using the Flame as a medium, he links with the 

Flame's original form [Lavos?], and he mediates between that life-form 

[Lavos] and living things on the planet, he is "the one chosen by the 

Flame." The Arbiter will gain immense power, using that power to 

arbitrate [decide] the life of his fellow life-forms. That is to say, 

in the case where the Arbiter fails to put a stop to the conflict 

between the two [that life-form and the living things], and his unable 

to turn the negative feelings of the ringleader [not sure about this?] 

of the conflict to nothing, then he (the Arbiter) will evolve with 

Lavos, and there is the danger that the world will lead to destruction. 

In addition to that, it is assumed Schala, from Chrono Trigger, who 

holds to power to control the Mammon Machine, was near Serge. [don't 

understand this last statement, it is talking about Kid?]



LINK TO TRIGGER: Dreamstone



The red rock that appeared in Chrono Trigger, and the Frozen Flame are 

the one of the same kind. The Dreamstone, has been confirmed since it 

is BC65,000,000 year star where Lavos still floats on the sky, and has 

been being valued highly from that time. [???] In particular, the 

people of the magical kingdom of Zeal who used Lavos power, and studied 

[???] prosperity, they used this stone to its fullest. In all the 

various inventions, the biggest was the Mammom Machine, but the for the 

sake of the Kingdom's prosperity the Mammon was much used, as a result, 

the Mammom Machine went haywire, and the Kingdom collapsed.



In addition to that, things like the Masamune and Schala's pendant, 

were made in this era from the Dreamstone. Among these, Schala's 

pendant, Schala, who was swallowed into the dimensional distortion, 

passed it on to another's hands, into the Guardia's royal family and it 

became Marle's. In Another Viper Manor, the story you can hear from 

Karsh about the Frozen Flame, is related to this pendant. The kingdom 

in the north for which the story has been told generations after 

generations, is the Guardia Kingdom. [???]





------------------------------------------------------------------

SERGE AND THE TWO WORLDS

------------------------------------------------------------------



"The world is not just a single entity.  Another world similar to ours 

exists in another dimension." - Prophet of Time.



Basics of Parallel Worlds



There are unlimited parallel worlds, but what became the theme of this 

story, was when ten years ago, Serge's life/death split the world into 

two parallel worlds. That is to say, all events in the world before ten 

years ago, run together. Or, if there were any the difference that 

occurred in these two worlds, it started ten years ago.



So, why was Serge able to move between these two worlds? That is 

because, his body was the key to the worlds' splitting, the environment 

is his dimension was uncertain (unstable?). Furthermore, the first time 

he moved across the dimensions, was related to the calling from a girl 

from another dimension.



Serge's Fate



"The end of the human world is nigh!  When this time comes, Serge, 

there shall be a deep emnity between you and the world!" - Lynx



What does this ominous sentence hints? Does it mean that Dark Serge 

will carry out his destruction at different places? Does it mean that 

when Serge defeats FATE, he will revive the Dragons who are the enemies 

of the humans, and lends the humans into crisis? Or is it that, if 

Serge does not carry out his task as an Arbiter, and he eventually 

merges into the Time Devourer, leading to the world's destruction? The 

sentence "deep emnity between you and the world" takes that many 

meanings.



Memories as a Child



Actually Serge, should have died ten years ago. Chronopolis existence 

in the Sea of Eden, exists far into the timeline after his death. But 

he was saved from the fate of death, and a new dimension called the 

Home World was born. This is not a coincidence. This irregular world, 

to the person who was aware [harbors the intention?] of the danger of 

the invitation of destruction to the world, and who wishes Serge to 

exist, the split was systematically planned.



At the time when Serge was saved, he was only small 7 years old, but 

the memory at that time remains. Sometimes images of the beach that 

pops up, is the event that stays and burn in the depths of Serge's 

heart, the event ten years ago.





------------------------------------------------------------------

KID

------------------------------------------------------------------



"When I think of you, I remember someone I once met a long, long time 

ago in the distant past..." - Lucca (in her letter to Kid)



Radical Dreamers



"On the central continent, the scary band of thieves are disturbing the 

society. [can't remember exact script]" - Arni villager



The band of thieves "Radical Dreamers", actually only has one member, 

Kid. But Kid, gave her band a plural form. This, isn't a mere name 

"Radical Dreamers" that she gives to her band. A general term that 

means radical [= revolutionary] people who dreams, and she, too, thinks 

of herself as one of them.



The background of this naming, was taught by the Lucca who adopted her. 

Lucca said to Kid before about the evolution of life. "All life was 

born from the sea. The ones who dreams of the outrageous dream of going 

up to the lands, after a long time passed, their dreams were fulfilled. 

We ourselves, are the descendants of those dreamers." This was not 

mentioned in the story, but the story of evolution can be heard in the 

ritual room in Home Fort Dragonia.



Another Personality



"Ze urge to bring everyt'ing to not'ing iz now stronger zan your dezire

to save everyone." - Harle.



Inside Kid, she has a personality that she does not even know herself 

lurking inside. In Chronopolis, the person who explained the Time Crash 

was that other personality. It was the one different from "the Kid" who 

is egoistic, greed of living [not sure about this]; it was "the other 

Kid" who is dedicated, and does not want to see everything go to 

nothing. [referring to Schala's personality?] 

Has Kid been carrying this side of her? Or is "that other person," who 

was about walk on and bring forth a different path from herself, 

"Kid?"...



A Body that Never Dies



Kid holds two treasures. One is the Astral Amulet given by Lucca. The 

other, was the pendant that Kid carried before she was picked up by 

Lucca. [So the Astral Amulet is not the pendant.] This pendant, 

actually, was used in the previous game to allow to time travel, and is 

the same pendant as Marle's [and Schala's]. The participation with time 

in this game is the same; when Kid's on the verge of a dangerous, life-

threatening situation, the pendant holds the power to rewind time back 

[and bring Kid back to a safe spot].



LINK TO RADICAL: "Radical Dreamers"



In Chrono Cross, Radical Dreamers had only one person Kid. But in the 

game "Radical Dreamers," it was a 3-person band of thieves. The members 

were Kid, Serge and Gil (whose true self was the character Magus/Janus 

who appeared in Chrono Trigger). Regretfully, him, who did not appear 

in Chrono Cross, his trace is somewhere... 





------------------------------------------------------------------

LUCCA'S HOUSE - ORPHANAGE OF THE FLAME

------------------------------------------------------------------



"Her mind looks like its trapped in the past" - Riddel [can't remember 

English script]



Nightmare? Or the past?



"Will I... Will I ever see you again?" - Kid, when she was young



When Serge was to save Kid who was trapped in her nightmare when she 

was young, the place that he went to, was actually it the time in the 

past, or the nightmare that controlled her heart? If you borrow 

Mastermune's power, you will understand what happened but, the correct 

answer is the former. [Serge travelled into the past, not into her 

dream.] When he did so, Serge, hold [made?] acquaintance with Kid when 

she was young... When you meet her for the first time in Cape Howl, 

let's to remember how she looked like.





The One Reflected in the Spirits' Eyes



"Huh? Hey, it's the princess." - Masa



Three brothers and sisters live in the Mastermune, Masa, Mune, and 

Doreen. The birthplace of the three of appeared since the previous work, 

was in BC12000 in the Magical Kingdom of Zeal that was proud of its 

prosperity. Naturally, the true state of affairs of the kingdom, which 

is their birthplace, is detailed. [well-known] And, in the eyes of the 

three who has been continuingly looking into the hearts of people, they 

see the nature and the truth of a person whom that person 

himself/herself does not even know of. The figure of Kid whom brothers 

and sister saw in their eyes were...





Kid's Treasure



"Hey!? It's the..." "...the Time Egg?" - Masa, Mune



When you hold to Mastermune, the 3 spirits, Masa, Mune, Doreen will 

identify that existence of the "incomplete time egg." The one that they 

refer to in their conversation is the Astral Amulet. Actually inside 

that [Amulet], an experiment time egg made by Lucca has been hidden 

inside. This "Time Egg" of course, is a different thing from the Key 

Item with the same name.





LINK TO TRIGGER: Lucca's House



The structure of Lucca's house is the almost the same as the one that 

appeared in Chrono Trigger. The rooms that were added when Lucca 

converted her house into an orphanage, and it was built for the use of 

the children.



And, in this Orphanage, for those who played the previous work [can't 

translate properly...], various plans [devices? Gimmicks? Links to 

Trigger?] were applied [brought back]. For example, the robot that is 

near the entrance, was the prided invention of Lucca that was exhibited 

in the festival grounds of the national/nation-building day 

[???Millenial Fair, I suppose], and his name was "Gato." Stuck on the 

walls of the children's room were portraits of models who were members 

of the group in the previous work. The one in particular [not sure?], 

was the method to obtain Kid's Level 7 Elemental Tech. In the previous 

work also, there was an event where in Lucca's house in the past, you 

enter a password into a machine, that password and the password in this 

work is completely the same [is it? I can't remember], that is to say 

"LALA" [LARA in english version.] In the previous work, a hint appeared 

[???], in this work, not only there was only interaction between words 

and buttons [???], for the password, those who did not play the 

previous work will not understand the plot [meaning of the password]. 

"LALA" [LARA] is the name of Lucca's mother.





------------------------------------------------------------------

SEA OF EDEN / DEAD SEA

------------------------------------------------------------------



"That Flame is sleeping. In the Sea of Eden, where the past and the 

future intersects." - Lynx



Sea of Eden - The Place Where the Past and Future Intersects



"There are even rumours that say that the time inside there is 

reversed." - Sage [of Marbule]



The Sea of Eden, contains a structure that originally exists in 2400AD. 

Chronopolis, which, through the time side-slipped space and time to the 

past ten thousand years ago, was born. Because of that, this place 

flows with a different time compared to the outside world. In the case 

where Chronopolis, and FATE's existence has the possibility of 

disappearing (that is FATE is afraid of the most), the Sea of Eden will 

also be destroyed.



Dead Sea - Omen of Destruction



"The Dead Sea is the true form of this planet's future." - Miguel



Home World is the irregular world which FATE was unable to assume 

[predict? control?]. In this world, the Dead Sea exists in place of the 

Sea of Eden. This, in the future on the time axis which Serge survived, 

is the other future where Chronopolis does not exist - that is to say 

that the scene that one can see in the Dead Sea is [just] waiting [to 

happen]. That is the meaning it portrays. And the scene that was 

developed in the Dead Sea, is the [actual] form of the future that 

Crono and company should have avoided (=killed) [<- this bracket is 

Ultimania's writing], the future that was destroyed. In other words, it 

is sinisterly indicated in this place that, in the case if Serge were 

to survive, the world will probably collapse [or be destroyed]. 



This is related to Serge being and "Arbiter." At the point in time when 

Serge continues to survive, and at the point in time when Serge visits 

the Dead Sea, because the possibility of him being swallowed [or 

absorbed?] by the Time Devourer and landing the world to destruction is 

high, this vision of the future is born. But, the future that is shown 

in this place is a fluid-like thing [unstable? has a degree of 

uncertainty?]. What kind of fate the world will follow after this, it 

[the Dead Sea's form] will transform according to Serge's actions 

hereafter.



[conjecture: There were two copies of the Frozen Flame, one in 

Chronopolis, and one in the Dead Sea. Based purely on the CC Ultimania 

explanations, this Frozen Flame would most probably be a piece of Lavos 

that was not found in 2300AD after the Day of Lavos. When the Acacia 

Dragoons contacted the Flame, the probability of Serge awaking either 

of the two Frozen Flames and merging himself with the Time Devourer 

might have dropped. Consequently, the probability of the world's 

destruction might have dropped, causing the entire Dead Sea to become 

highly unstable. This sudden unstableness might have swallowed them up. 

Once they were gone, nobody could touch the Flame, the dimension 

stabilizes and the Dead Sea reverts back to the one that you see in the 

game Chrono Cross. When Serge entered the Dead Sea, the probability of 

him awaking the Flame was high and fixed and consequently, the 

probability of destruction of the world was also high and fixed. Hence 

the dimension in the Dead Sea was completely stable at the time he 

entered it.]



LINK TO TRIGGER: The Illusions of the Children



The children first appeared in the Dead Sea, after that at Terra Tower 

and Opassa Beach. They were also the young teenagers who saved the 

future in the previous work "Chrono Trigger," Crono, Lucca and Marle. 

Knowing all the reasons that lead to this place [???], they repeat 

their profound speech many times over.



In addition to that, they say that they "do not exist in this time 

axis," and appearing as illusions, it hints that they are already 

deceased. This appears that it is not unrelated to the fact that the 

world in this work [Chrono Cross] runs on the time axis that contains 

Guardia Kingdom's downfall. But even so, this time axis is one of the 

uncountable time axes. Their fate after the previous work [Chrono 

Trigger] is certainly not limited to this fate.



LINK TO TRIGGER: Nadia's Bell



The place that Time Crash Ground Zero situates, is the Leene's square 

that appeared in "Chrono Trigger." This square is the site where Crono 

and company began their adventures. At the same time, this site was 

also the site they were received after they changed the future. And, 

after they ended their adventure, to continuously pray for peace from 

then on, the thing that was established in this square was "Nadia's 

Bell." The origin of the name of this bell is Princess Marle's real 

name "Nadia".



[In Japanese, Marle = "maaru," which Nadia = "maarudia."]





------------------------------------------------------------------

MASAMUNE / EINLANZER

------------------------------------------------------------------



"The legendary holy sword forged by the Dragon people...[can't remember 

exact script]" - Radius





The Transitions



There were the white, shiny sword, the Einlanzer, and the cursed sword 

that carries the red blade, the Masamune. The circumstances of 

[surrounding] the two swords' are as follows.



(1) In the mainland, Radius became obsessed [possessed?] with the 

Masamune, and murdered Garai. He took over the Einlanzer, when he 

returned to El Nido, he floated [discarded] the Masamune into the sea. 

The place where it drifted to was cursed and turned into a evil island. 

(This is how the Isle of the Damned was born.)



(2) Dario, succeeds the Einlanzer from Radius's hand.



(3) Dario became obsessed [possessed?] by the Masamune in the Isle of 

the Damned, he was murdered by Karsh who stopped the mayhem. Lynx, who 

saw every detail of that, took the Masamune away.



(Above (1),(2),(3) the circumstances were the same in both worlds, but 

the following (4) were different events.)



(4) In Another World, Dario's body was found together with the Masamune 

by the search team [researchers?], and was buried in the shrines in 

Termina. In Home World, the search for Dario was aborted, after that 

Radius found the Einlanzer. Using this, he held a memorial service in 

the Isle of the Damned.





LINK TO TRIGGER: Masamune



The Masamune, as touched on in the section in the Frozen Flame, was 

made from the Dreamstone. In 12000BC in the Magical Kingdom of Zeal, it 

[the Masamune] was forged from the hands of Sage Melchior [?can't 

remember CT] Originally a small knife, but at the instant when it was 

used to stop the Mammon Machine made of the same stone, the form of the 

sword turned into a long sword. The reason as to why heavy [strong] 

power is hidden in the sword, it is definitely related to the fact that 

it is made from the Dreamstone, but the circumstances that turned the 

Masamune into an evil sword is surrounded in mystery.





LINK TO RADICAL: Einlanzer



The holy sword Einlanzer also appeared in "Radical Dreamers." The 

manufacturer's and the owner's establishment [???] is different from 

this work [Chrono Cross], but the fact that the holy power can wipe 

[cleanse?] evil is the same.





------------------------------------------------------------------

FATE

------------------------------------------------------------------



"FATE has been watching over and guiding the descendants of the staff 

who left this research center." - Chronopolis Staff



Degeneration of a Protector



"FATE itself was actually the protector of humanity!" - Belthasar



Originally, FATE was a machine that was built to watch over humanity, 

called [???] "the protector of humanity." But, as time passed, while 

continuously watching over the humans, FATE began to dream. A dream 

that assimilating with humans to evolved into a new breed of species. 

Was that dream, a desire that was naturally born while staring into the 

Frozen Flame? The dreaming, and yet slightly corrupted FATE, began its 

action of unlocking the Flame, for it's own use rather than for the 

humans.



The Love and Hate of a Machine that Dreams of Evolution



"I love you so much... That is why I sometimes desire to smash you to 

bits!!!" - Voice in the Dead Sea (= FATE)



While continuously protecting humanity and deeply loving them [???], 

because of that [???], there was deep envy and hatred. The feelings 

FATE has for the humans is complicated. After it acquired an 

incarnation [not sure?] that possesses a human body, the feeling that 

the one [Wazuki? Or Dark Serge?] with the original body held, inter-

mixes with the feeling of the complicated FATE, as a result, the 

disorder [chaos] further intensifies, gradually leading to corruption. 

After that, the destruction activities were manifestations of this 

complicated feeling. The statement above [the "I love you so much..." 

statement], was said by FATE when she had the Dead Sea destroyed, and 

it was directed to the entire human race more than Serge.



LINK TO TRIGGER: Motherbrain



FATE's prototype with the same name "Motherbrain", appeared in the 

previous work [Chrono Trigger] in 2300AD in the ruins of the future. 

That was a mad machine that dreams of eliminating the humans and 

building a world that contained only its fellow species [of robots]. 

FATE existed in another future after history was changed, a future 

different from the one Motherbrain existed. It was built originally 

from Motherbrain [don't understand?], and as expected, it dreams of 

evolving into another species, and was seized by madness. [???]



LINK TO TRIGGER: Prometheus



"Prometheus," the name of the circuit that was set up inside of FATE, 

came from the true name of a member of the party from the previous work 

[Chrono Trigger], Robo. But this circuit, was not the system used by 

Robo. At the end of previous work, after Robo returned to the future, 

Lucca thought of him [missed him?] and had this completed. It was a 

safety program that prevented the corruption of machines. This was not 

built with a specific motive. But in the future after it was invented, 

Belthasar who had the same thought as her, inserted it into FATE's 

circuit.





------------------------------------------------------------------

DRAGON GOD

------------------------------------------------------------------



"The seven Dragons who had been rendered almost powerless and 

forgotten... traveled across the dimensions to reunite into a single 

entity!" - Prophet of Time





The 5 Phrases that Contain the Word 'Dragon' [ryuu]



Let's explanation in simple terms, the five phrases that sound the same. 

"Dinosaur People" [kyouryuujin] is the evolved species from the 

dinosaurs [reptites?]. Between dinosaurs and humans, looking on the 

outside [???not sure], they were in a fight with the primitive humans 

for existence. Their leader was Azala. The dinosaur people [reptites], 

were extinct in the Chrono Trigger time axis, but in other time axis, 

they survived, and achieved evolution. This evolved dinosaur people we 

called "dragon people" [ryuujin], other name for that is "nation/people 

of the dragon." [ryuu no min]. The "dragon god" [ryuujin/ryuukami] in 

the world built by the dragon people, was a kind of organic/living 

machine. Formed from the aggregation of the planet's energy, the form 

of the dragon is temporary. "Dragon race/family" [ryuuzoku] and the 

dragon people has the same meaning, it deals with many things [???], it 

can also be said that the dinosaurs developed without evolving into 

dinosaur people. The significance of that, is that, the characters like 

Dragon Child [Draggy], comes under that race/family.



 

The Initial Motive



When the seal was broke, the dragons gathered in the sky above 

Chronopolis. But, at this point in time, their motive was not revenge, 

it was snatching away the Frozen Flame. The one who would execute that, 

was the one who followed the plan, the 7th dragon who befriended the 

humans for this action. After she snatched the Frozen Flame, she merged 

with her brothers in the sky above.





------------------------------------------------------------------

TIME DEVOURER

------------------------------------------------------------------



"The Devourer of Time is a new life-form... Born out of the fusion of a 

life-form from this planet with Lavos, who nests on the far side of the 

dimensional void." - Prophet of Time





Time Devourer's True Shape



"IT will awaken... Then, the Devourer of Time will begin to consume all 

space-time continua..." - Prophet of Time



The Time Devourer, is a new life form that nests on the other side of 

the darkness of time. In some time axis after some life-form was 

defeated, it fused with a life from this planet and [that's how the 

Time Devourer] was born. Hatred, anger, despair and all negative 

feelings that this life [Schala or Lavos???] holds, it continued fusing 

with this life. When the complete fusion in accomplished, the Time 

Devourer awakes, and it will begin devouring time and space. Without a 

method to stop it [???], everything will return to nothing.



The true Dragon God's body 10,000 years ago, after defeated by FATE was 

also absorbed by the Time Devourer that holds regret [???]. And, when 

the Magical Kingdom of Zeal was destroyed, there also seems to be were 

who were absorbed.





The Future



"Your actions will determine whether in the future all time is devoured 

by Lavos, sending the world into everlasting death." - Marle



The fusion of the Time Devourer becomes complete, when the one who can 

free the Time Devourer, the body of the Arbiter is absorbed into in. 

Because of this, when Serge survives and does not free the Time 

Devourer, the world will welcome the time of destruction not too far 

away [not sure about this]. But, even if Serge dies, the Time Devourer 

nesting at the darkness of time continues its fusion, the world will 

eventually destroyed. As long as Serge does not free the Time Devourer 

with the Chrono Cross, there will be no future.
