BTW, I notice you can't use the Blackbird, and you don't get to it until after Crono dies (in which case you've been captured by that jerk, Dalton).

Off topic, I believe if Crono wasn't dead, Dalton wouldn't have touched a hair on the team's head without getting vaporised on the spot. I still think he deserved a better ending - by which I mean I get to see him scream his unending agony in the eternal hell that is his last moments...
