Chrono Trigger

Lucca's House, although located on a small island off the southern coast of the town of Truce, is considered part of the town; it is the home of one of the main characters, Lucca, as well as her mother, Lara, and father Taban. Upon entering the house, one can expect to see multiple inventions in progress, as Taban and Lucca have set up a makeshift lab in the first floor entryway.

Up until about ten years prior to the start of the game, a conveyor belt sat in the middle of the room. In 990 A.D., Lara attempted to clean off some of the machines, and had her dress caught by the conveyor belt when her cleaning accidentally turned a machine on. The young Lucca, unable to figure out how to stop the machine, had to watch her mother become crippled.

Optional Event

There is an optional event which takes place as a side-quest to a side-quest, for lack of a better explanation. At the end of the side-quest for Fiona's Shrine, when the party has recovered Robo after four hundred years, the party is shown sitting around a campfire discussing all the events that have occurred up to the current moment. The discussion turns to Robo's thought that an entity wanted the party to see everything they've witnessed; later that night, when the group is asleep, Lucca awakes to a noise, and witnesses a red gate. (Although there is no evidence to suggest this, many discussion boards suggest the entity was giving a sort of "thank you" to the group, allowing Lucca a chance to revisit the event.)

Traveling through the red gate, Lucca arrives ten years prior, according to some journal entries she finds. When she opens the door to the main room, she realizes it's the same day that her mother became crippled. A timed event begins once Lara becomes trapped by the machine, the player has a few short seconds to input into the machine the code created by Taban (who, being a loving husband, made it his wife's name). No direction is given to the player on how to input the code, only that the code is Lara's name. In order to imput the code, the player must utilize the letters of the controller, being L. A. R. A., Hence the code would be L button, A, right button, A

If the player successfully stops the machine before Lara is injured, a few changes are made to the remainder of the game (and in some ending sequences, depending on the ending). First off, the player is rewarded with an accessory named Green Dream, which, similar to the event, gives a chance to save a player from death. However, the more readily visible change is that Lara is no longer sitting, she freely moves around in Lucca's House, never having been crippled due to the alteration to the timeline.

Trivia

  • It was revealed that in the Pre-release, it was likely Lucca was not meant to stop the accident which injured Lara. Based on the Chrono Compendium translation, Gaspar, at the End of Time, makes the following statement which leads to this conclusion (added to the fact that the reference point is a gate unreachable, which sends you to the same place as the Red Gate): "The best option isn't always limited to changing the past. Rather than regretting the past, you should hold your current self dear." Actually entering the event in the Pre-release has the following sequence: You enter, and Taban asks young Lucca to enter the password "366" and pull a lever which will stop the machine. No clue is given as to how this code was supposed to be entered; perhaps the developers originally wanted Lara to stay the same way, but have an older Lucca there witnessing events after having time-traveled (thus giving her a better understanding of why it had to happen).

Chrono Cross

After her journey ended in Chrono Trigger, Lucca continued to research science, developing incomplete Time Eggs and undertaking other inquiries into the field of physics. She started an orphanage after she found Kid and presumably after her parents died; her house grew to be full of little kids whom she deeply cared for. They did arts and crafts (even drawing the original Chrono Trigger team), and referred to Lucca as aunt or sis. Lucca enjoyed her work, though she sometimes had to stem her childrens' curiosity in her scientific projects. Around 1015 A.D., Lynx attacked the house in order to abduct Lucca and force her to unlock the Prometheus Circuit. Though this ended in failure for Lynx, he managed to burn the orphanage and house to the ground, killing Gato and some children inside. Much later, in 1020 A.D., when Kid fell into a coma due to her memories of the incident; Serge traveled back in time with the help of Masa & Mune to alleviate her thoughts. He saved children that would have otherwise died, and caught a glimpse of Lynx as he surveyed the destruction.

The console that almost severed her mother's legs was still in operation at the time; using the input L1 Triangle R1 Triangle released the HotShot machine intended for use by Kid.
