Chrono Trigger Endings

Lose to Lavos in any time period, any method of
getting to him. If you lose the fight against Lavos, you see Lavos coming out of
the earth, the command center in the future collapses.
2. Programmers Ending
Beat Lavos either at the Ocean Palace, or
before you rescue Queen Leene in 600 AD. You end up at the End of Time. Each of
the characters you see represent actual members of the Chrono Trigger
development team. They say a variety of things: from saying hello to their
family, jokes about how long and hard they worked, boasting about what they did,
etc. One of them says: "Legendary Programming waiting for that Special Someone.
Keep those cards and letters coming."
3. Frog & Leene Ending
Beat Lavos right after coming back from 600 AD and saving the
Queen. You end up at the Fair. Some people tell Marle she is dressing normally,
while others say she is in a costume. When at the Castle, the King says they
have just found a 400 year old wedding movie. Frog and Queen Leene (or a
descendent) are married, and Marle's father is a frog.
4. Monster slapstick Ending
Beat Lavos right after entering the End
of Time through the bucket. During the credits a Nu and a Ribbit are chasing
each other and doing various antics. The Nu keeps falling asleep while the
Ribbit is harassing it. "THE END" has two 'Z's above it.
5. Robo / Tata Ending
Beat Lavos after arriving in 600 AD, right after returning from
2300 AD. The first scene shows Robo and his wife (or girlfriend) in front of the
Leene Bell in the Future. The next scene shows Tata sitting on the throne with
King Guardia & Leene standing around. Tata jumps off the throne, runs after
Magus, only to find Crono, Marle, and Lucca laughing at him.
6. War Ending
Beat Lavos right after getting the Hero Medal from
Tata. During the credits, there are a number of clips of scenes with the various
characters. Most are about scenes that you wouldn't see and characters you
haven't met: Crono, Marle, and Lucca coming out of the closet in the monster
village; Kino & Ayla chasing reptites; Magus at the cove with his three
henchmen; King Guardia & Queen Leene; Frog in the Cursed Woods; and at the
end Robo running across the screen.
7. Cast of Characters

Lavos right after returning from getting the Red Stone in 65,000,000 BC. While
the credits are rolling, various still characters are displayed singular or in
groups around the credits.
8. Frog vs. Magus
Beat Lavos right after Frog releases the power of
the Masamune in 600 AD. During the credits you see scenes of Frog. He defeats
each of Magus' fiends, and then goes after Magus himself. After the battle with
Magus, you see Frog standing on top of the statue above the gate to Magus'
castle.
9. Reptite Ending
Beat Lavos right after defeating Magus.
The opening scene is repeated, except that Crono and his Mother are Reptites!
When you go to the Millennial Fair, everyone there are reptites as well, except
for the Green Jogger, who is human. After the credits, Azala is alone on the
screen, and "THE END" drops on her.
10. Frog and Magus II
Beat Lavos right after defeating Azala in
65,000,000 BC. During the credits, you see a scene of Frog approaching a statue
with two chests.You also see a number of scenes with Magus, Schala, and
Janus.
11. Marle and Lucca's Slideshow
Beat Lavos after Schala
opens the sealed door in 12,000 BC. Do not power up the pendant though.
12. Millennial Fair Moonlight Parade - Without Crono and Magus.
Beat Lavos right after beating Magus. If you defeat Magus, he
tells you that you have released the curse on the Frog. However, during the rest
of the game, Frog looks the same. If you use the bucket to beat Lavos right
after killing Magus, but without restoring Crono, you end up at the Millennial
Fair similar to the ending if you don't fight Magus. However, the only character
you see in the middle part of the square is Lucca. When you go into the north
part of the fair, the other characters (except for Crono and Magus, of course)
come out of the time gate. Except that Frog is now human, and Lucca thinks he is
quite a hunk! The other characters go back for Crono, and Lucca & Marle go
to see the king hand the bell. Then they leave on Epoch while the king is stuck
trying to hang the bell (similar to the "Family Reunion" ending ) If you crashed
into Lavos with Epoch, the ending you get is almost the same as the regular "No
Crono" ending, except that Magus doesn't appear.
13. Millennial Fair
Moonlight Parade - Without Crono, but with Magus.
Beat Lavos after
teaming with Magus. If you beat Lavos before you restore Crono, you end up at
the End of Time. Everyone is lying on the ground. You can control the
characters, and when you talk the Guru, and he tells everyone that the gate is
closing and they have to leave. All the other characters except Lucca and Marle
leave to their respective times. Marle arrives at the Fair, walks in the
Moonlight Parade by her self. She then sees the team members throughout the fair
crowd. When she goes back to the north part of the fair, they are all there. The
other characters go back for Crono, and Marle sees her father, who asks her to
install the new bell he has made in her honor. She is carried off by the
balloons while the credits roll. She lands near a tree like the one on Death
Peak, and in the distance you can see Crono coming. Marle runs towards him and
the screen fades to white.
14. Millennial Fair Moonlight Parade - With Crono, but without Magus.
Beat Lavos after beating Magus and saving Crono. If you killed
Magus, he doesn't appear in this ending, but the rest is pretty much the same as
the next ending. Also, if you didn't get a clone before Crono is killed, talk to
the Keeper and he will tell you to go to the fair.
15. Millennial Fair
Moonlight Parade - With Crono and Magus.
Beat Lavos after teaming
with Magus and saving Crono. If you defeat Lavos after restoring Crono, the
opening scene of the game is shown, except that it is a soldier waking Crono up,
saying he will be executed. The king pretends to be upset, but then praises him
for saving the past, present, and future. If you let the Chancellor out of the
chest after the "Rainbow Shell" incident, he will be there; otherwise, it will
be Pierre, the lawyer. Several characters appear (Doan, King Guardia from 600
AD, & Kino) saying what the team members had done. Marle realizes that these
characters are her ancestors and descendants. After the Moonlight Parade at the
fair, the characters assemble at the north side of the fair grounds and leave.
If you didn't crash Epoch into Lavos, then Crono's cat jumps into the time
gate, followed by Crono's mother. If you got extra cats, they all jump in
together. Crono, Lucca, and Marle take the Epoch to find them. Meanwhile, the
king is stuck trying to hang the Nadia Bell.
If you crashed Epoch into Lavos, then the gate closes after the team members
leave, and Marle, Lucca, and Crono talk to the King, who shows the Nadia Bell.
Marle ends up holding some balloons and starts to float away. Crono jumps on,
and the two of them float away while the credits roll.
Note: Variations on the Moonlight Parade
Endings
The Fair endings
will vary slightly depending on whether or not you used the Epoch to get to
Lavos, and whether or not you saved Lara from being crippled. It also depends on
how many cats you have at Crono's house. |
