Who would you say are the Chrono Trigger counterparts in Chrono Cross?
Just as the title says. Out of the Playable Characters in Chrono Cross, whom do you feel are counterparts of the Chrono Trigger characters? In other words, which characters in Chrono Cross are most similar to characters in Chrono Trigger?
For Frog, I think that Glenn was obviously meant as a reference, especially with the X-Strike. However, he doesn't really act much like Frog at all, despite him having similarities. I haven't actually ever had Turnip in my party, but based on the descriptions I've heard of the little guy, it seems like he acts the most like Frog, and he looks more like Frog than Glenn does, at least when we're talking about how Frog was seen in gameplay. He's pudgy, and seems to talk in old English. Turnip be Frog all right.
Guile most reminds me of Magus, and I think we all have heard the theory that Guile was originally going to be in Chrono Cross as the character "Magil", but decided not to. Magil was a traveling mate of both Kid and Serge in the game "Radical Dreamers", which this game is more or less a recreation of in terms of story, and Radical Dreamers is referenced in Chrono Cross at one point. Because Magil in Radical Dreamers was described as having a mask cover a good portion of his face, and due to his long, blue hair, and his obvious relation to Magic, it seems as though Guile really was designed with Magil in mind. I think that if we're looking for a Magus counter-part, Guile would probably be the best choice. He doesn't really look much like Magus in-game, but he's the closest thing.
Now you. :3
