This game's plot makes absolutely no fucking sense.

Crono, Lucca, and Marle are teenagers in the year 1000. Lavos comes in 1999. So why the fuck should they care about Lavos?

Let's say they live to be 120 years old. That's in the 1100s. Lavos is almost 900 years away. If they have children in the 1010s and their kids also reached 120, Lavos would be around 870 years away.

They won't ever have to deal with Lavos. Their kids won't deal with him. Their grandkids won't deal with him. The great-grandkids will be born 900 years before Lavos. Add twenty greats and he's still a couple centuries away.

SO WHY THE FUCK DO THEY CARE ABOUT LAVOS
>>
>>3455953
Lavos is just a lazy villain slapped on the game as an endgame boss.
No character or backstory whatsoever he is just there as le final boss for you to kill and end the adventure.
>>
>>3455956
But iirc isn't the entire adventure past the very early game completely optional? It's all to take down Lavos, who they could safely ignore.

It doesn’t matter.
But, canonically lavos is sucking the planet and its people of life energy so going back in time to kill it would theoretically make life in their time better somehow.

This (OP) is a quintessential boomer way of thinking.
>>
>>3455996
OP is right.
Anything else is just soapboxing.
Almost every member of the human race is, was and will continue to contribute to both the microplastic issue and the sea plastic patch.
Dupont got away with Teflon, they killed locals in the community and people got cancer. People still get cancer from teflon today. When you see a news article about them finding forever chemicals in your food and water at the other side of the world? You can thank dupont.
The safe amount? What is the safe amount? The safe amount is 0, but because Dupont was caught with its dick in its hand it campaigned to raise that safe level.
Your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandkids will be getting cancer from microplastics and chemical byproducts, there will be people within your generation who are getting hit by this and you're just standing by continuing to consoom, continuing to let dupont execs go free and buying a new phone?

Yeah. See, that's because OP's right.
Why the fuck is it their problem?
They're simply applying the attitudes of people today to the game characters and the characters don't act like real people. People are hypocrites.

>They're simply applying the attitudes of people today to the game characters and the characters don't act like real people. People are hypocrites.
Most people don't have the power to just dismantle Dupont and the apparatuses protecting its owners from justice. Just because things suck now doesn't mean we should throw our hands in the air and die. Maybe if we started moving now, we could make cleaning our water a viable goal but we'll never know because we have pessimistic fags like you who just give up.
>>
>>3456029
Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't op implying that the 10th generation could've been prepared for the battle?
Either way, lavos is clearly low effort design.

>>3456114
It's pfoa, not teflon per se. Interestingly enough it's still used in pans, just in another way, ergo it's still cancerous. Sadly, that's just one example of thousands, if not tens of thousands.
While we are talking about dupont, they earned on two world wars, effectively making them war criminals guilty of genocide.
Gee, I wonder if Ukraine war has something to do with dupont?

>>
>>3456146
Alright anon.
What's your party of 4 look like to take down Dupont and the harmless scientists trying to better the world?
You're gonna start in the 1800's and finish up somewhere around WWII. Lawman? Nazi scientist? Cancer survivor turned part cyborg from the year 2145?
Any of them going to be using guns or is everybody wielding a sword?

>>3456119
>>3456137
Yeah sorry I used Teflon, it's easier to remember in the moment than PFOA's & PFA's. They are protected and there's not much the average person can do about it. You can campaign, you can write letters to your politicians.
It's there to serve as an example of an issue that these generations have where no action is taken by the masses and the villain is still in play. Only to serve as a counterpoint to the posts about "doing the right thing", "caring about each other" or "boomer mentality". It's not generational at all when ignorance is applied to all.
>Maybe if we started moving now, we could make cleaning our water a viable goal but we'll never know because we have pessimistic fags like you who just give up.
There are efforts and campaigns to do this and it is being done. There was some news a few years back about trying to break them down with enzymes. If these chemicals were banned in all forms today it would still take significant research and effort to clear up. They bind to anything and everything, even dust.

It's still a pretty weak analogy. Iirc, Lavos sleeps beneath the planets crust and most people have no idea he exists. He's a cataclysmic event waiting to happen that no one could realistically predict unless they had literal time travel. People know about Dupont and we'd very obviously like their bullshit to stop, there's just legions of people in the way to ensure they stay making money. You can say "Well you're just a righteous dreamer" but even average people will stand in your way when it comes to the environment. The Chrono Trigger party has the benefit of all ideologically being on the same page. We don't.

So, you admit you are both a coward and a sociopath? Definitely not hero material. I bet you can also only find enjoyment in the Renegade path in the ME series, choose to become the swarm or lich in P:WoR and joined the legion in FO:NV

>>3456114
If all the worlds problems could be forever solved by killing just one difficult to kill person then I'd gladly make that sacrifice. Unfortunately that is not the case. An accurate analogy of modern problems in Chrono Trigger would be:
>work hard to kill Lavos
>20 other adult Lavos's see this and intantly wipe your party with laser beams from space.
>turns out there is tens of thousands of them handing around just outside the planet
>after your dead one takes original Lavos's place

Cool thread.
>>
>>3455953
I feel this way about climate change, I have a hard time caring that people in the future will suffer I guess because I just see that as a given. Humanity is going to go extinct some day, it's unavoidable. But I guess a part of that is that I feel like I have no power over it.
On the other hand, the fact that people right now are homeless, going hungry, etc. bothers me a lot despite my ability to change that being about the same. Something about the future-orientedness of the former just makes me not care, I guess like I said because I figure there has to be a point where humans die out.

>>3455953
It would be cool to have a game with a setup like this and there is a childless crone that is just like I don't care and means it

Chrono Trigger is the legendary game that will filter anyone who approaches it with preconceived ideas. Which happens very often because the profile of the average Chrono Trigger hater is that of the pseudo-intellectual who gets to play the game to verify if is truly "the greatest ever" just to get bonked because of the very nature of its genuine adventure spirit.

The best part is, now Toriyama has passed away at an early age, Chrono Trigger will remain as unique piece of work, thanks to his distinctive art-style. Forever remaining in its legendary status, and living rent-free in the head of its haters.
>>
>>3456419
68 isn't early.

>>3456419
It really is one of the few games I've played that feels like a genuine adventure, alongside Dragon Quest 8. It's a comfy warm bath or mug of coffee wrapped in a blanket in winter by a fire. It's just comforting to the soul to slip into sometimes.
>>
>>3456419
Toriyama's work and the amount of it make AI of his style one of the easiest to do.
>>
Hundreds of years from now "humans" will be biosludge plugged into endless torture machines, unable to escape. Lavos is an inbuilt fear of the progressive "enlightened" mind that all their "glorious" works will be for naught, that they won't be absolute masters ruling over an undifferentiated slave class in white plastic future cities forever. That a destroyer will come from above and put an end to all their delusions and vanity.
>>
>>3455953
Because they care about humanity and not just themselves.
You might not give a shit about humanity, but you're not the idealistic teen protagonists of a JRPG.
Better questions would be why they approached this problem with any sort of urgency when they had a time machine and could've taken months or years to prepare, or why they didn't tell anyone else about the threat or leave any warning for the future, and instead tried to take on the godly powerful alien personally.

That's exactly and simply why people enjoy stories about saving the world. It gives you catharsis and a feeling of control and hope.

At least with homelessness you know you can help your family if you need to or volunteer at soup kitchens. But in the end your family is all that you should focus on. Incidentally in Trigger everyone is an ancestor or descendant of Marle which is why she cares.

because not only Crono and friends can time travel, any megalomaniac could pop at any time and write you off history unless you destroy the source of the time rifts

>>
>>3455953
I mean if I found out the world was going to end hundreds of years into the future and I had the ability to stop it, then it would be pretty hard to simply ignore the fact that I didn't try.
Seems like a good enough reason to devote your life to.

So wasn't it because Lucca accidentally sending Marle back in time ended the war against the fiends too early and because Frog fucked off to pity himself instead of fighting against Magus like he was initially supposed to. Magus gained time to try and summon Lavos to kill it, but your party stops him, otherwise Lavos would have destroyed the world in 600. He scatters everyone throughout time, where you learn what the deal about Lavos is, and to fix the timeline Lucca fucked up, everything has to be set back in place. Lavos in 1999 is irrelevant, but the chain of events leads to too many things that need to be fixed otherwise time is irreversibly fucked because of the Kingdom of Zeal.
>>
>>3455953
sounds like you need to replay the game
>>
>>3458340
The world doesn't end in 600 even if you don't fight Magus. At worst Magus gets eaten for biting off more than he can chew.

Proof: none of the alternate endings have the world getting destroyed in 600 AD
>>
>>3455953
Yeah
>>
>>3456029

>>
>>3458460
In theory the world doesn't end because if its not (you) who messes magus summoning lavos, is glenn who does it
In one of the endings if you get the masamune and end the game, then he goes alone to fight magus by himself
>>
>>3458460
like what other anon said >>3458476
It's either you or Frog that stops Magus from destroying the world. Problem is, Marle getting sent back in time causes a different sequence of events to unfold that results in Frog losing faith in himself, which is the key point where history goes off the rails, because someone has to confront Magus and Frog won't do it, and that situation probably ends up playing out differently when you get there, maybe like a difference in time or disruption of the summoning, because maybe Frog would have stopped it before Magus had time to start it, and you showing up instead (maybe late) has Magus and the summoning already in progress, which also results in you getting sent back farther in time for screwing it up.
>>
>>3455953
The story makes perfect sense to literally anybody who has a beain and isnt a newfaggot sociopath.
I dont understand how it can not make sense.
>>
>>3455953
I guess I'll give a serious response that directly responds. Marle and Frog are both justice freaks who would find killing a monster in 900 years perfectly reasonable for justice and the kingdom. Also, Crono wants to do it and Marle will do what her boyfriend wants. Lucca will stay for the time travel to multiple periods. Robo has already had the world destroyed by Lavos so he's fixing his own time period. Magus needs no explanation. Crono and Ayla are there for the violence. Ayla is obvious. Crono is trained in a katana in a world with no war where weaponry has not advanced in 400 years. He probably woke up every day wanting it to be the day he got to stick his sword in some dinosaur/robot/evil wizard/giant alien. He now has his chance and gets to a bang a blonde princess on the side. He's living the dream.

I'm not a nihilist simply because I don't entertain your humanistic faustian bullshit, and I've already heard this edgy spiel about 'grand new frontiers' to 'conquer' a hundred times over. Ultimately you're the one internalizing a sterile, mechanized conception of life (through rhetoric of 'progress') rather than a vitalistic one, not me. Your way of thinking lead to the ultimate cancer the World has ever seen in the form of Industrialism.

I never really interpreted anything inside of Lavos as a "robot". What are you talking about? Both forms of the core just look like Toriyama's standard "freaky, super-evolved alien" designs. The whole concept behind Lavos is that the giant spiked body is just a shell for an inner lifeform that forcibly evolves itself by siphoning DNA from every living thing on the planet.

Nah, it's the first interesting one in quite a while. NPC's posted soapbox responses and then it turned.
That's better than the usual fanwank the game gets.

anon, oversocialized delusions are a product of a conquered world, propped up by technology, and they can't easily exist in a frontier where practical realities take precedence. industrialization happened, we can't put humpty dumpty back together. what you are describing is staying within its cage and not pushing it into a new paradigm, which suits the existing masters of the world fully, as they want people to feel no optimism or hope or love and simply exist in consumerist misery, a self-regulating slave. space can give us space to grow past growing, since technology has shrunken the world until a multitude of voices inundate children and twist them with mechanical precision. trust me, i'm no proponent of progress, but, we can't go backwards, that's just not how consciousness works for the average person.

>space can give us space to grow past growing
Just another example of a carrot and stick used to usher the masses along for the sake of our keepers, as it has been for millennia; "Just keep working hard and you'll have a piece of the pie in the new kingdom! Oh, did I say 'kingdom'? I meant 'continent'! Er, wait, no, I meant 'space'! Yeah, that's the ticket!" Although, personally, my favorite con is "heaven". An entire religion has convinced people to be subservient because otherwise they won't be able to live forever in the magical sky kingdom that doesn't exist and can't be proven!

All of this is distraction to kick the can down the road and keep you showing up to work instead of bombing a federal building. Nihilism is just a rest stop for those of us who have realized this, while the rest of you are still waiting for your 200 acres and a mule that will never come, on this planet or any other. Keep up your monthly donations to Elon.

“Losing is satori. Winning is illusion.” - Kodo Sawaki Roshi

Humanity is a failed species overall, burgeoning its power does not increase its value. I fail to see the ennoblement you find in space colonization efforts when the only purpose seems to be furthering the strength of our species as a whole, when that in of itself is the problem.

and where, pray tell, is the milk and honey of space travel being pushed by the true rules of contemporary society? no, they quashed it in favour of pretentious navel-gazing, materialist finger pointing, and general misanthropy such as yours, a worldview that sees humanity as a virus that should be stamped out, because who would fight to defend their fellow when they see mankind as trash. i can see right through you, anon, you really can't engage with ideas, which is why you took on a small part of my post. consider yourself exposed.

Pointless non-sequitur post.

subvert? lol, why do you think it's pushed in the most conformist society on earth?

I genuinely don't care if most of the population dies.

neither do i. i do care that humanity lives in bondage and children are twisted into people like yourself.

It doesn't have to be. It merely has to exist and mouthbreathers like you will happily bait their own hooks, as you've proven. Our leadership has subsidized the tending of the slaves to the slaves themselves. Yet because you think the mere presence of ideas is synonymous with "progress", you're happy enough to sit in a train car that is going the wrong way, just because it's facing backwards. Consider yourself retarded.

So many people are misunderstanding the thread. It would make sense to help if it required a small amount of effort, or a moderate amount of effort, or even a large amount of non-life-or-death effort. But fighting a 10,000 foot tall world-destroying monster when it's a millennium away is a bit much. Nobody would put themselves at such risk or do something so horrifying in reality over a threat 999 years away.

you aren't forming a coherent argument here because you aren't really responding to me, but to a mental construction of what you want me to be. this is an extremely serious communication problem.

In older times, when a white girl would say "we have to save ALL the puppies" the guy that wanted to fuck her would do some puppy saving until she went awwwwww and got her pussy smashed and forget all about the puppies. These days when a white girl speaks the guy says shut up bitch and smashes anyways so that's why there's a disconnect.

That's what makes them heroes though. Besides it's evidently possible to kill anything with a sword or bare visit in their reality.

>If you were on your way to work and you saw a baby in a stroller on some train tracks, would you do something about it or would you continue to work?
Shit analogy.
I'd leave it. It's a future tax burden and the trains aren't owned by the government so I lose out on nothing. Lost productivity for the wagies who commute and contribute pollution every day? Cry me a river.
Travel back in time and tell me that baby cures cancer and I still wouldn't save it.

He's not a character in the usual sense, but he influenced all of human history. If you watched the movie Twister, would you say "the twister is lazy, it has no character or backstory"? Or even Godzilla or King Kong.
>>
>>3462349
Yeah I agree that was wild. I don't know if it was a literal robot though, maybe it was the result of Lavos gathering DNA from all the organisms on Earth for millenia. Like that's what you end up with.

Because they went to the future and directly saw what happens if Day of Lavos is allowed to happen?

Anon, this is a game written for middle schoolers to understand.

the protagonists will be dead by the time day of lavos comes theres no reason for them to care at all
>>
>>3469483
No reason to care about mountains either but mountain climbing is fun.
>>
This thread is still up? Fucking hell
>>
>>3469483
the protagonists are the only ones that can deal with Lavos. additionally, about a quarter to 35% of the way in, the game establishes that most of the bad shit is indirectly due to Lavos's influence. basically it's a classic adventure game with young heroes who understand they're the only ones that can do anything about it. there's also some post game endings that deal with them just screwing off I think.
