I am already dreading facing Miguel once again.... At least this time I know the power of Diminish. I was pretty much ignoring it my first run because it weakened everyone and you don't want to use something that weakens yourself, ya know? But it ended up being pretty much essential, even in teh main game, let alone the mod I'm playing.

But I had forgotten so much plot and stuff during my first run, like the fact Miguel is Leena's father. I still don't think it's come up yet even though I've been talking to everyone as often as I can. Also you can't bring Leena for that fight because you're stuck in the Home universe as far as I can recall. Missed opportunity on the games part but oh well.
There is a popular fan theory that Miguel is actually Crono in disguise, which would explain why he has holy powers and is a total badass despite being just a simple fisherman.

But yeah, I know a lot of people get mad that the random shmuck villain of CT ended up gathering an army and killed our heroes. But Lynx at least was the one who killed Lucca so that's not too shabby? FATE is supposed to be pretty badass.
My only issue with Lynx offing Lucca is that A) Lynx shows no real ability within the game to being any stronger than some of the other characters in the world until he reunites with his physical core in Chronopolis, meaning that I can't imagine Lynx would be strong enough to handle Lucca, Harle is a similar situation where she's only a fragment of a greater power but showcases not being all that stronger than Serge and the regular folks of the game. B) FATE is stated to be the Chronopolis timelines version of the Mother Frame from Robo's bad future timeline, so we've established Lucca has already beaten this opponent. C) The whole point of going after Lucca in the first place was to get her help to bypass the Arbiter Lock and Prometheus Circuit. Why would an intelligent A.I. off one of the possible solutions to it's problem, especially when you consider how utterly convoluted the main plan they had to fall back on ended up being.

Granted, I can see Lynx and Harle using the orphanage kids as hostages to make Lucca comply to go with them, but she is also just as likely to be smart and resourceful enough to disappear once that threat is over and remain "gone" until the situation was clear.

My pet theory is that a third party: either FATE, Balthazar, the Time Devourer controlled Dragon God, or even and unknown fourth party; created a situation to get Crono and Company out of the main time stream as a means to keep them from interfering with their plans. If the party is jumping back and forth in another time stream causing havoc, they can't be causing issues in this particular time line. My point is that there are too many variables and fridge elements to say one way or the other that the CT cast got offed offscreen, especially considering how resourceful and stubborn they were in their first game.
