Chrono Trigger - Epic tale of adventure, or PSYCHOSEXUAL?
Hello there. I haven't been here in ages, but tonight I was discussing CT with my friend via AIM, and we got into the topic of sex. Now, I don't mean this in a juvenile, "LOL sex0rz" way, but I think that there are some underlying emotional/sexual points to the plot that can be considered. And if you think this is pathetic or weird, well, I'll just point you to the seven thousand debates about how slutty Tifa/Aeris were in FFVII.
Let's begin.
The most obvious relationship in this game is Crono and Marle, and there is nothing odd about it. Two teenagers who know they're in love, but try to sort of hide it awkwardly.
Next, we have Lucca. Lucca is the cliche secretly-in-love best friend, as seen in Not Another Teen Movie. She is so sexually and emotionally frustrated it hurts.
Speaking of Lucca, her parents. I think her mom is both sexually and emotionally neglected by her father, hence complaining about how he "only cares about his toys". But then again, sexual interaction with a cripple might be a bit awkward and uncomfortable, especially since they have so many communication issues already.
Frog's is so obvious it's actual shown in the game. He and the queen have a mutual attraction, but it's one of those forbidden love type deals. Not only because he's a weird frog creature, but because she is the queen. Hell, one of the endings indicates that they desire eachother.
Ayla was sexually attracted to Crono, but still remained loyal to Kino. She also wore the pants in this relationship. Of course, if I were Kino, and getting rough, crazy cavegirl action, I wouldn't complain.
Robo...had some sort of strange "I have feelings! I'm a real boy!" love relationship with Atropos, but did serve Lucca. And did he aid her in her times of unbearable sexual repression? Quite possibly.
This one may be a long shot, but Dalton is an incompetent, arrogant asshole. How did he gain such a high rank? I predict he was sleeping with, or had slept with, Queen Zeal. I could easily see it as a part of their boss/underling relationship.
The Kingdom of Zeal itself seemed especially extravagant and decadent, like a society with nothing to do but enjoy life and have pleasure in any way possible. Roman-era orgies and other sexual activity wouldn't seem too far-fetched
Err...Flea was a transvestite bisexual. Yeah.
And then there's Magus. Magus is the biggest enigma of all. He never showed any interest towards women or men, but I think he just might've been gay, or at least bisexual. Not only that, but possibly a victim of child molestation. He was raised by grotesque, evil monsters for most of his life, and who knows what kind of things they might do to a ten-year-old? Hell, just living in that kind of condition could damage you so psychologically. For some reason I can see he and Flea having a strange physical relationship, with little else between them, though.
Well, what do you guys think? Is there any other possible things of a strange emotional/sexual behavior I might've missed?
