Hey, I knew I was forgetting someone!

But man, I have a ton new party members just in my last few hours of progress.

Sprigg
Harle
Radius
Funguy
Zappa
Van
Norris

It's crazy. Funguy I got by accident. Shame he's probably gonna be stuck like that forever.

Not really, I think I can explain this without really spoiling anything but remember that Balthazar passed away in the original Robo future where Lavos turned everything into a death world. Since Crono and pals changed that future... well I'm sure you'll figure out the rest.
Well that makes sense. I keep forgetting CT had a linear, singular timeline so whatever changes happened there still happened. The TL'DR stuff earlier about multiple timelines got me confused. I've only really run across two timelines as it were anyway.

Fargo is probably my favorite character not connected to the other major subplots in this game. He's also connected to a sequence that has one of the coolest musical moments in the game.
Is it a sidequest?

I think it's her personal theme "Star-Stealing Girl"

Awesome, thank you for posting that. I'm gonna have to give the CC OST a listen to after I finish the game so I can identify what my favoite songs are actually called.

Yeah this whole scene was weird, I love how you save the Fairies and then they kick you out because apparently being part of the species that caused the problems is a greater crime than actually be genocidal. Its one of the games more anvilicious scenes.
Well I guess you could think of it this way - sure we saved hem but a lot of their friends and family are probably dead and their home is destroyed. It b ehard to be in a good, thankful mood after something like that.

That's my charitable explanation anyhow.

How dare you! Harle is like one of the game's best characters.
I will grant you, she is better than I initially thought. I mainly knew her as this bitch who showed up to taunt Kid for dying and who tried to kill Radius. She hadn't done much to endear herself to me.

This is contested among fans and the game gives a bit of evidence to go either way.
Indeed, I've been most skeptical of that of all the various anti-Chrono Cross sentiments I've heard.

Anyway, progress.

I'm rolling with a party of Lynx, Harle and Radius. Radius feels like he is the most important character to the plot as of right now. Well, apart from SergeLynx obviously. I thought about switching in Norris for Harle but he has the same Element as Radius so can't have that.

Other than collecting a lot of party members...not much has happened I don't think. We're stuck in the Home dimension and this incarnation of Viper and the Dragoons has been missing for years so maybe they're all still alive somewhere. I've kinda been waiting for Karsh to be a playable character since way back at the beginning of the game. Of the Dragoons he feels the most important.

But yeah, not much else to report. I gotta pay Van's rent, fix Funguy, find Karsh (he's Zappa's son right? So that must be Zappa's "quest") and save the world. The odds of Number 1 and 2 being done seem low but 3 is probably within the realm of the central storyline so that's nice.
