Beyond Time

Written by Leebot, Fall '04

Introduction

In the world of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, the normal timelines are the mere tip of the proverbial iceberg. This article aims to detail all other locations outside the normal timeline. Below is a brief outline; the Location titles link to more detailed sections.

Note: Certain quotes have been edited for spelling and grammar and truncated from their original versions. This is done to facilitate the reading of this article, and it is not my intention to misrepresent the quotees in any way.

Note: If you're not familiar with my theories, I highly recommend reading Appendix 1 first.
