Forgot to talk about the Chrono Cross Endings. I got another one today so here you go. #ChronoCross #Panda_Cross
GOOD ENDING Perfection. - we saved Schala. There's confusion for me whether Schala & Kid merged or not but I'd like to believe Schala has been "freed" - in this case, her torment ended & with the world & future saved, she can now rest in peace. As for Kid, she gained her own Rebirth like when Serge came back in his original body. She has her own will & identity, she is now fully formed as "Schala". That's why her signature has "Kid" in it. That's part of why we're doing this. To give Serge & Kid the freedom & identity they need. We see Schala in a white dress is what I think is just Kid having a part of Schala in her since she came from her & also a sign that she's accepted who & where she came from. We see a later scene of her going back to her original look, sailing the seas to start her life anew. - Leene got NTR'ed?! Uhh maybe maybe not. I'd like to think not because it's unfair against Leene & it betrays their history & life pre-CC. What I gathered from the scene is yes, Serge is his own person now & they can continue from where the time stuff happened at Opassa Beach. This is substantiated by the fact that Serge loses his memory. It's a reset for him & he's free to do what he wants. What if he DID leave Leene? If I were to think of a reason, well it's that Serge just... found more things in common with Kid I dunno bleh. - The Kid/Serge photo is most likely from far into the future. They're destined to meet again in this True Timeline... & they did... because WE the player, are descended from Serge. "It's just that we might not realize that you are you & I am me". It's a cool twist on the "Silent Protagonist" trope where we're supposed to roleplay. WE are the ones who met Schala at the end... maybe. That's just what went into mind during the last scene of Schala turning around to meet "the camera" in First-person. Felt like Schala is directly telling the player "Found you!" also that's so so much sweeter in my mind lol. Bad Ending - Not saving Schala only temporarily delayed the inevitable and that's supported by the fact that it immediately went into the credits AND the future Schala wasn't able to find Serge... wait, why is future Schala a thing when we killed her? oh well lol. Acacia and General Kid Ending Uhh what? - Seeing a glimpse of Serge and Leena's future is nice. Wish we saw it during the good ending because ngl at first I thought Serge dumped Leena for Kid lol (not the case) - Kid was able to beat Lynx... how? ngl I forgot the details of the encounter but seems impossible. - After Lynx's death, Kid somehow became the Acacia Knights general and went on to conquer the world... why?

Losing myself in games is fun. I felt like having a brain blast moment coming up with these nonsenses. Good sign. #MetaphorReFantazio #Panda_ReFantazio
Thoughts - Interesting that the player and the protagonist get different names. Will. Has Heterochromia. Has a white-haired best friend who looks like him and in a coma... What if the Prince's soul is the "Player" or Will and the Prince are the same? Very curious to see how it goes. - Eldians look like humans. Monsters are called humans. hmm... What if Eldians are former humans. Dunno. - Strohl is so good! - Only Will and Gallica can enter the Academia. Gallica is a fairy with Mage archetype. Will must be a magical entity then. Also who is More? Will is the embodiment of human will, an intangible source of energy that empowers all to rise above and become heroes (archetypes). They both look the same except hair color, heterochromia eyes suggests a dual nature. Both are Eldians (I think). Gotta see Will's backstory before meeting the Prince. - More is suspicious. I mean, he's voiced by DIO and Olivier. If it turns out that Will IS literally human will, then More is similar. He mentions the previous king was the one who imprisoned him there. His name is More so is he the Greed of the King? That he had to lock him to rule? - The heart was able to be the Igniter for Will and the Heroes' Souls voice says that Anxiety is turned into strength. That means the heart uses Magla up. It's possible that Magla is either fragments of the soul or negative energy. What if "Humans" are people without souls? Heartless from KH?!

Ok I thought the reason the player's name and Will are separate is because of some weird stuff like The Prince's soul controlling Will or something lol #MetaphorReFantazio #Panda_ReFantazio

I'm willing to bet he's the prince's will taken shape. The eyes hints at 2 sides. Maybe the other one is the Prince? 🤔 #MetaphorReFantazio #Panda_ReFantazio

Strohl is so goddamn good. He's my boy. Also the heart functioning as their igniter and power is cool. #MetaphorReFantazio #Panda_ReFantazio

I said it back then when I played the demo, but this reminds me of .Hack when they call their Avatars. #MetaphorReFantazio #Panda_ReFantazio

Man I cannot wait to hear the rest of the OST. Peak battle music! (I maxed the volume on my headphones that's why it hanged a bit there lol) #MetaphorReFantazio #Panda_ReFantazio

Will is a nice name thematically. Weird name for an anime-looking character tho 😂 #MetaphorReFantazio #Panda_ReFantazio

The Komodo Scale represents Arni Village's dreaming and yearning for harmony, balance, freedom, and peace. Pretty apt that Mr. Chrono Trigger himself came from here. #ChronoCross #Panda_Cross
