History WMG / ChronoCross

* It's bizarre that they sit back and do nothing while Porre subjectifies the rest of the world to their rule and horrible time-monsters are wandering around. However, they ''should'' probably know that they're in an altered BadFuture that will be retconned away once Balthazar's UnwittingPawn[[note]] aka, Serge, the game's protagonist[[/note]] does his stuff, unless Balthazar was so incredibly dickish as to not give them a head's up. They're probably just lying low trying to stay alive until history resets to its no-FATE-Elements-or-El-Nido state upon the Devourer's undoing and and not messing with Porre or events in El Nido for fear of what might happen if persons of their power- and understanding of events- get mind-whammied by the emotion-and-memory-altering Records of FATE.

* The Arni attitudes toward the demi-humans also reflects the Zenan mainlanders' views toward fiends/Mystics, further underscoring the connection.

That is, mostly populated by Zenan immigrants and descendants of immigrants who arrived no earlier than the settlement in 920 AD. There are some exceptions, such as Belcha the chef who seems to be from Guldove (and therefore be of older El Nidan ancestry) and the village may have existed before 920 AD, but a few facts suggest Zenan dominance. One is their negative attitude towards demi-humans, an attitude shared by the Mainlanders of Termina but not by the native El Nidans of Guldove. Another is their chief Radius (in home world), who hails from Zenan and was a prominent Acacia Dragoon; Arni may have quite quickly become a retirement community for people from Termina and Viper Manor. There's also the fact that culturally, Arni moves very much in the orbit of Termina and Viper Manor, attending their festivals and such, while Guldove (confirmed to be populated by the original humans of El Nido) maintains a cultural connection with the Dragonians and demi-humans. This would also make sense given that Arni is on the main island, and the new Zenan Mainlander immigrants seem to have quickly coopted the main island as their territory, pushing demihumans, along with those humans who didn't want to assimilate to the new culture, to the periphery.

[[WMG: Chrono and Marle had a crossover with the [[Series/DoctorWho The Docter to fight the Daleks]].]]

The Green dragon, unlike most of the others (The black dragon gets a pass because he's been asleep for a long time) isn't very interested in testing Serge. Instead, his main goal is satisfying his own hunger. This seems odd, considering how important Serge is to their plan to defeat [=FATE=]. Either he's given up, or he has something else in mind.

Specifically, Leah. This cavegirl is implied to be Ayla's mother from prehistoric times, before Lavos fell and the Reptites lost. If she were assassinated, the ancient humans would lack a leader and might have been wiped out. (Unlikely, but the dragons might or might not have realized just how unlivable the world was for the reptites after Lavos fell.) If Leah is not in the party when they meet with the dragon, his entreaties to "Come hither... And now for lunch" seem directed at ''her'' more than the party - she comes closer than the others, giving the impression that the battle starts from "Lynx" dashing in to intercept.

It's unclear how independent the fragmented dragons were, and how deep the Time Devourer's influence ran. But Harle at least, knew about it all along, as shown when she tried to talk down kid.

The very fact that Home world Marbule (and to a [[KarmaHoudini lesser extent]] Hydra Marsh) can have a happy ending was a counterexample, showing that coexistance ''is'' possible, and something to strive for. This point is additionally driven home by several characters' quotes at the top of Terra Tower. Draggy and Irenes, for instance, outright reject the dragons' party line.

It's a possible impression had fans not notice a creator comment claiming that the unexpected live-action sequences are essentially non-canonical, but that almost sounds as if a hint of a potential sequel's plot was sweeped under the rug due to the uncertainty of future installments. Going by what the game indicates alone - just ''what'' is Kid [[spoiler:or/and Schala]] ''doing'' in what appears to be 1999 A.D.? This is the year that the Day of Lavos occurs. One wonders what they had planned...

It's implied that most of the cast from ''Trigger'' died. "Radical Dreamers," a Japanese-only game which became a prototype of ''Chrono Cross'', directly states that "Gil" is Magus, but this angle was dropped and "Gil" became the character "Guile." Yet in a letter written to Kid, the reincarnation/daughter/clone of his sister Schala, it says that he is close by and protecting her and that they have to find each other. Kid and Serge can't be together because the Main/ResetButton in the [[Main/MultipleEndings Good Ending]] erased Serge's memories of her and she'd be intruding; but Kid's ''next'' reincarnation is shown looking for Janus. Very reminiscent of "A Chinese Ghost Story." Also, Reincarnation makes previous lives genetics a non-issue.

* Lucca could have been captured by Lynx and holed up in Chronopolis. Lynx wanted her to undo the Prometheus lock and in order to do that [[IWantThemAlive he would need to take her to Chronopolis alive]]; killing her outright would be [[StupidEvil counterproductive.]]
