===The Apocalypse===
===Bad Ending: The Apocalypse===


'''Method''': Any except Ocean Palace, then lose to Lavos
'''Method''': Any except Ocean Palace, then lose to Lavos
Line 26: Line 26:
This ending allows you to witness, in real time, the events recorded on the computer in [[2300 AD]]. Lavos erupts from the ground and sprays flaming spines into the air, which rain down, causing untold destruction. The view shifts to a command center in one of the domes, where the administrator (assumed to be an ancestor of [[Doan]]) watches helplessly as the computer monitors the destruction. The military gives up and flees, and Lavos' fire consumes the world.

====Float Away====
====Ending 1a: Float Away====


'''Method''': Use the winged Epoch to reach Lavos
'''Method''': Use the winged Epoch to reach Lavos
Line 44: Line 44:
If you use the Epoch to destroy Lavos' shell, the closing of the Gates means that there is no way to travel through time any longer. Crono and Marle return to the square to see the King hanging up Nadia's Bell. Crono and Marle help him, but get stuck holding the balloons that were transporting the bell. With Crono hanging onto the balloons and Marle in his arms, they float off into the night sky as the credits roll.

====Follow that Cat!!!====
====Ending 1b: Follow that Cat!!!====


'''Method''': Use a different method than the winged Epoch
'''Method''': Use a different method than the winged Epoch
Line 50: Line 50:
After saying goodbye to their friends, the Gate begins to close, leaving Crono, Lucca, and Marle in the present. At the last second, however, Crono's cat comes running around the corner, chased by [[Crono's Mother]]. She dives into the Gate after the cat, which promptly shuts behind them. Without a moment to lose, Crono runs off to board the Epoch to chase after her.

====Save the Chancellor====
====Ending 1c: Save the Chancellor====


'''Method''': Save / don't save the Chancellor from [[Yakra XIII]]
'''Method''': Save / don't save the Chancellor from [[Yakra XIII]]
Line 58: Line 58:
''This does not change the ending of the game.''
''This does not change the ending of the game.''

====Ending 1d: On that Day, 10 Years Ago====


'''Method''': Save [[Lara]] from being crippled in the accident in 990 AD

===Reunion===
===Ending 2: Reunion===


===The Dream Project===
'''Method''': Any except Ocean Palace, defeating Lavos after Crono's death but before re-acquiring him


===The Successor of Guardia===
This ending is much like the first, except that Crono is absent. When the group returns to the [[End of Time]], Gaspar tells them they must return to their own times, as Lavos' destruction means that the Gates will soon shut down. They leave quickly, too quickly in that Gaspar does not have the opportunity to tell them about the [[Chrono Trigger (Item)|egg-like item]] he wished to show them.


===Good Night===
The rest of the ending proceeds like the first. Most of the variations still apply. At the end, Marle realizes that there must be some way to save Crono from his death at the hands of Lavos. Depending on whether or not the Epoch has been destroyed, she uses either the Gate or Epoch to go after him.


===The Legendary Hero===
===Ending 3: The Dream Project===


===The Unknown Past===
'''Method''': Right Telepod (at the beginning of the game) or Ocean Palace


===People of Their Times===
The most difficult ending to achieve, it can only be won by defeating Lavos at the very beginning of the game using only Crono and possibly Marle or by defeating the double-powered Lavos at the Ocean Palace.


===The Oath===
You return to the End of Time, except that there are now people and creatures all over the place, representing the development team for the game. You can walk around and they will introduce themselves, say funny lines, quote poetry, what-have-you. The nine Gates on the upper platform lead to nine time-themed rooms (Earthbound cave, castle, town hall, etc.) with more members of the development team in them. After visiting all nine rooms and meeting all the team members, Gaspar will open the door that used to go to [[Spekkio]]'s room, allowing you to meet the "Dream Team," the individuals responsible for the creation of {{CT}}:


===Dino Age===
*[[Takashi Tokita]]
*[[Yoshinori Kitase]]
*[[Akihiko Matsui]]
*[[Yūji Horii]]
*[[Hironobu Sakaguchi]]


===What the Prophet Seeks===
Talking with Sakaguchi-san on the far right, he will thank you for playing the game and completing it so fast. As a reward, he will display the credits in an appropriate manner. The screen then goes black and the credit's scroll by in just a few seconds' time, revealing the ending card.


===Memory Lane===
===Ending 4: The Successor of Guardia===


===Dreams' Epilogue===
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]] after returning from 600 AD, but before reaching the [[End of Time]]
 
When you return, you will arrive at the [[Millennial Fair]], where everyone believes [[Marle]] is wearing some sort of costume. She goes to the castle to discover that her entire family are now half-human / half-frog creatures, and so is she! Apparently, due to circumstances not revealed in the game, Frog was emboldened enough following the fight at [[Manolia Cathedral]] to express his true feelings to [[Leene]], which led to him becoming the progenitor of Marle's family line.
 
===Ending 5: Good Night===
 
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]] or bucket after reaching the [[End of Time]], but before learning about the [[Tata|Legendary Hero]] in [[600 AD]]
 
This ending is a frog and a [[Nu]] goofing off, playing tricks on one another while the credits roll. There isn't much to it.
 
===Ending 6: The Legendary Hero===
 
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]] or bucket after Legendary Hero in [[600 AD]], but before acquiring the [[Hero's Badge]] from [[Tata]].
 
This ending re-enacts the game's opening, where [[Crono]] bumps into [[Marle]], in a futuristic setting. The role of Crono is taken by [[Robo]], and the role of Marle is taken by [[Atropos XR]].
 
The story rewinds 1,700 years earlier, where Tata is planning on confronting Magus and bumps into Crono and his friends.
 
===Ending 7: The Unknown Past===
 
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]] or bucket after acquiring the [[Hero's Badge]] from [[Tata]], but before attending [[Ayla]]'s party where the [[Gate Key]] is stolen.
 
This ending shows the characters doing things in their own time periods after the fight with Lavos.
 
===Ending 8: People of Their Times===
 
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]] or bucket after acquiring the stolen [[Gate Key]], but before giving the [[Masamune]] to [[Frog]] at the [[Magic Cave]].
 
A slide show ending, showing the characters alone or in groups.
 
===Ending 9: The Oath===
 
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]] or bucket after giving the [[Masamune]] to [[Frog]], but before fighting [[Magus]].
 
Frog returns to [[600 AD]], where he single-handedly takes on Magus and all of his fiends, defeating each of them along the way.
 
===Ending 10: Dino Age===
 
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]] or bucket after fighting [[Magus]], but before defeating [[Azala]] and the [[Black Tyranno]].
 
This ending means that you took Ayla with you to fight Lavos, and that Azala and the [[Reptite]]s never died. This changes the entire timeline. The opening of the game is re-enacted - Crono attending the Millenial Fair, bumping into Marle, seeing Lucca - except that every human is now a Reptite, and the [[Green Ambler]] is now wearing a human disguise.
 
===Ending 11: What the Prophet Seeks===
 
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]], bucket, or [[Epoch]] after fighting the [[Black Tyranno]], but before witnessing [[Schala]] enter the [[Ocean Palace]]. Alternately, fight Lavos after being kicked out of [[Antiquity]] by the [[Prophet]] and before fighting him in the Ocean Palace.
 
[[Frog]] goes to [[Manolia Cathedral]], where he sees the statue of [[Magus]]. This is followed by several scenes featuring Frog, Magus, and Schala.
 
===Ending 12: Memory Lane===
 
'''Method''': Use the right [[Telepod]], bucket, or [[Epoch]] in the narrow window between witnessing [[Schala]] entering the [[Ocean Palace]] and being kicked out of [[Antiquity]] by the [[Prophet]]
 
This ending features [[Lucca]] and [[Marle]] reviewing the various male characters in the game, saying what they really think about them. This is where you will see Crono say his only two lines of dialogue in the game.
 
===Ending 13: Dream's Epilogue===
 
'''Method''': Start a [[New Game Plus]], finish the encounter with Lavos in the [[Ocean Palace]], finish the [[Dimensional Vortex]] in all three time periods, talk to Gaspar, then use the bucket [[Gate]] to travel to [[Time's Ellipse]] and defeat the [[Dream Devourer]].
 
This ending is a preview of {{CC}}. The Dream Devourer is actually Lavos after having absorbed [[Schala]]. In the fight, [[Magus]] will appear, but the Dream Devourer will brush him aside. Schala will come to her senses, telling him that he will need something [[Chrono Cross (Item)|more than might]] to defeat it. Schala opens a portal in space-time, flinging Magus through (presumably to 1020 AD) and wiping his memory.
