What Happened After Chrono Trigger?

Chrono Trigger, one of the most iconic and beloved RPGs of all time, ended on a bittersweet note, leaving players wondering what happened to their favorite characters after the events of the game. In this article, we’ll explore what happened to the main characters of Chrono Trigger, including the endings for each of them.

After the Battle Against Lavos

The main story of Chrono Trigger culminates in a final showdown with Lavos, the parasitic creature that has been draining the life force of the Earth. After defeating Lavos, Crono and his allies celebrate their victory, but the battle comes at a great cost. Magus, the enigmatic knight who played a crucial role in the game’s story, is nowhere to be found.

Ayla’s Return to the Past

Ayla, the prehistoric warrior, is seen returning to her own time in 65000000 B.C., where she settles down with Kino in the village of Ioka. However, the game does not provide any insight into her life after settling down. It is likely that Ayla had to face the threat of the coming Ice Age, which could entail relocating the village to the caves.

Magus’s Fate Remains Unknown

Despite playing a significant role in the story, Magus’s fate remains shrouded in mystery. He is nowhere to be found in the game’s epilogue, leaving fans to speculate about what became of him. Lucca does mention Magus in a letter to Kid, expressing greetings if he is reading it with her, but ultimately, his fate remains unknown.

The Marle-Crono Marriage

One of the most heartwarming endings in the game is that of Marle and Crono, who finally get to be together after overcoming the obstacles of time travel. In the PlayStation and Nintendo DS releases of the game, an FMV (full-motion video) scene shows Marle and Crono getting married, giving players a sense of closure and happiness.

Lucca’s New Journey

Lucca, the young genius and inventor, is seen continuing her work on robotics and electronics in the epilogue. She goes on to create a mini-robot modeled after Robo and finds an infant with a pendant that is later revealed to be Chrono Cross protagonist Kid, the clone daughter of Schala. This marks a new beginning for Lucca, as she takes on the responsibility of caring for the infant and continuing her work.

Other Endings and Characters

Several other characters in the game receive ending screens, including:

• Frog: After helping to save the world, Frog disappears into the swamp, leaving behind his mercenary days.
• Robo: After being destroyed during the final battle, Robo is rebuilt and returns to Lucca’s laboratory, where he continues to assist her with her research.
• Lavos’s Remains: The aftermath of the battle against Lavos reveals that his remains are still present, indicating that the parasitic creature was still in the process of draining the Earth’s life force even after its defeat.

In conclusion, the ending of Chrono Trigger left many questions unanswered, but provided a sense of closure and new beginnings for the main characters. The game’s endings set the stage for the events of Chrono Cross, which explores the world of Antiquity and introduces new characters, including Kid, who becomes a central figure in the story.
