This is funny, you use "ur" for you're, I like that, perhaps english isn't your forte? Well, Espxe is an emulator, this post is an emulator...the connection is natural...ly dissimiliar. Well, as for connections, there are no connections that aren't very shallow and poorly done. I mean Lavos turns into the Time eater guy, I mean cmon, they could have done ANYTHING. He could have turned into a clone of Crono's cat...the whole island place where this game takes place (If forget the name) has nothing to do with the CT story...they could have created any other place like a huge mountain cave for the game to take place. And Schala being trapped with Lavos, well, once again, they could have done anything with that, make Lavos turn into Schala, making Schala turn into Lavos then turn into Crono's cat's cat food...
They needed deeper connections with significance. For example, by destroying Lavos, they open up rifts in time which cause the world that the CT story characters just saved be once again in trouble. (I realize the rifts thing is kind of true, since when Lavos was destroyed, the dimensions were created) But the story of, "in CT you beat Lavos, yeah!!, but wait, in CC Lavos magically turns into the time eater guy, and he is bad!!" Talk about lame...he eats time??? Without time what would there be? The entire idea of a game and a problem, such as Lavos, is that in the future (time is needed), the bad guy will do bad things, and in the rpesent (time needed again) we must stop him, but if there is no time...there is nothing...
So anyway, there is your intelligent post, perhaps you disagree, but hey, you need to read my first sentence, this post is useless. And it does apply to the ePSXe board since I am making the claim CC is boring and people should use the awesome emulator ePSXe to play better games. Of course, I am half-kidding since I myself played through CC several times with ePSXe, so who am I to tell others what to do, so DON'T PANIC. Probably the best advice many of you have heard today...
