    What this parasite did was take over life on the planet, eventually consuming and mutating a Cetra known as Jenova, giving her the will to dominate the planet.

    Which I mean, in itself was a call back to Chrono Trigger with Lavos dominating Queen Zeal's will, but even with the advent of the Black Omen, she did not take over the planet or even adjust history really.

    We gotta consider that when Zodiark went up against Hydaelyn, the planet got fractured on the space/time level, splitting into 14 separate instances of the same reality. No idea how a Lavos-like/Jenova-like would really play into that, beyond the initial calamity, given there's been no real sign of them this whole time.
    Easy, Chrono Cross deals almost exclusively with alternate realities. Considering we supposedly (I almost doubt it) just altered our own timeline, and it was hand waived that the old timeline in which we died was simply cut off and set adrift, an entity like Lavos being the reason the fracture happened (which let us directly affect time) kind of fits a little too well. The best ending in Trigger leads directly into Cross. Lavos itself latched onto Schala in the Darkness beyond Time and began creating split realities to keep itself alive. Becoming the Dream/Time Devourer, a crystalline monster that had a young blonde woman in a white dress bound to it no less. Big hmm moment for me there when I saw the 3.2 patch art.



    I don't trust Hydaelyn or the narrative that the Ascians are pushing. I think a parasite has literally wrapped its claws around the very weapons used to stop it. It's just a matter of time till we need to address that issue.





    Forgive me the pictures. I don't like having to add so many, but I really needed the visual aids.

    Just my opinion. Won't lose sleep if you don't like it.
