Added DiffLines:

* AscendedGlitch: Pip's evolution mechanic was notoriously buggy in the original Chrono Cross, thanks largely to its stats being tied to the game's RAM, rather than the save file proper. While it was mostly a large number of negative effects the player has to worry about, a savvy player could manipulate save files to have a powerful party member of whatever element they wanted with whatever elements they want, even those exclusive to specific elements. An update to the Remaster fixes the RAM issue and makes the stacking of his final forms' different element arrays a feature, making all of his old positive quirks more accessible than ever with a fraction of the difficulty.

While on the Isle, Dario discovered and was possessed by the evil of the Masamune, and with it tried to kill Karsh. Horrified, Karsh could barely bring himself to defend against him until Dario declared his intent to slate the Masamune's blade with Riddel's blood, upon which Karsh went berserk and struck him down. While in Another he is presumed dead, in Home he survived, [[CriminalAmnesiac amnesiac]] but still in (and under) possession of the evil blade. Your party can jog his memory with the right memento, triggering one of the [[ThatOneBoss hardest (but most rewarding) boss fights in the game]] -- victory nets you Serge's InfinityPlusOneSword, Riddel's L7 tech, [[VideoGameCaringPotential a warm fuzzy feeling]] at the reunion of the star-crossed lovers and, of course, {{bragging rights|Reward}}.

* BettyAndVeronica: With Leena and Kid, respectively. Leena is (an alternate universe version of) his hometown sweetheart. She laments the burden of responsibility that comes with being an adult, watches out for her younger siblings, dresses conservatively in a long dress. She's a magic focused character and her element is Blue, the color of water and ice. Kid is a firey hot blooded thief who rescues Serge from Dragoons and immediately takes a liking to him. She dresses in midriff-exposing clothes with a tube top and booty shorts, is melee and crime focused with her stealing techs, and her element is Red, the color of fire. The two are also immensely jealous of one another, with Leena refusing to join your party if Kid joins you initially, and Kid storming off if she sees you with Leena in Termina.

* ThatOneBoss: An extremely powerful white innate with devastating spells that will tear through your party. Especially since two of your most powerful party members at this point (Lynx and Harle) are both black innate. Even if you planned ahead and brought other party members who aren't black innate he will use TurnBlack on them and make them weak to his spells anyway. Hope you collected and alloactes plenty of Debuff and Buff Elements as well as Healing ones.
