Gato

## Background Information

### Location(s)

Giruvegan (The Trimahla Water-Steps, The Aadha Water-Steps); Trial Mode Stage 79; Temporal Research Lab

### Type

Normal enemy

**Gato** is a construct enemy from *Chrono Trigger: The Zodiac Era* found in the Giruvegan and the Great Crystal. They are a source for the rare Mythril loot and also drop Gaia Gears. It has a 10% chance of dropping the Tactical Shotgun. It has the highest magic resist of any normal enemy in the game. Its stats are unchanged in the Trial Mode.

Three of them are also fought in Stage 38 of the Trial Mode where the Gold Hairpin can be rarely stolen from them.

## Strategy

Gato has very high magic evasion makes it difficulty to strike with magical attacks, due to this it is recommended to strike it with physical attacks. Crono's Luminaire is recommended to use as it is weak against lightning damage, however he should be equipped with Schala's Amulet to boost his magic potency as it has very high magic resist.

Due to its very high magic defense, it is not recommended to rely the party on casting magic, unless they use piercing abilities such as Ultima such as the Great Machete or Guns. It is also vulnerable to Doom status, so Carrière Pentagram should also be used against it.

## Musical themes

"Gato's Song" is the eponymous theme of Gato in *Chrono Trigger: The Zodiac Era*.

## Trivia

* Gato is allusion to Gato *(Gonzales (ゴンザレス "Gonzaresu")* the training robot built and maintained by Lucca from *Chrono Trigger.* The player will know it has spawned when its theme plays. Cybot, the stronger version of Gato, is an allusion to Cybot from Chrono Trigger, it plays a different theme than Gato's song, yet of the similar genre.
Gelt

**Gelt** *(ギル, Giru?),* also translated as **GP**, **Gold**, **Gil** and **G***,* is the world currency. It is acquired throughout the games and used for making various purchases and occasionally for some abilities such as Gelt Toss.

## Appearance

Gelt is almost never seen in-game. Usually, the only time gelt is seen is when using the Gelt Toss command. The currency is predominantly circulated in coins of varying value.
Action-Esque Mechanic

The **Action-Esque Mechanic** (AEM) is the battle system in *Chrono Vendian.* The system was designed by Mr. Branford, with the actual programming being done by Klonopin. It works intertwined with the Active Dimension Battle of *Final Fantasy XII* modifying the game's core mechanics, primarily the Gambit functionally to introduce an action-orientated style of gameplay.

## Terminology

The term 'AEM' defines the updated core mechanics of Active Time Battle. With AEM, player's actions are executed with the action key, whilst command abilities such as spells and skills utilize the original ATB charge system. Players can control the flow of time by selecting either Active or Wait commands within the Configuration Menu.

### Functionality

The AEM system was created to modify the Gambit and Battle Menu functions to act less automated more action-orientated, requiring constant player engagement, and less time sorting gambit targets for characters, thus less automation.

### Execution

Initially, would be the "✕" button as the key of execution. However, Mr. Branford stated such key function would need to be removed for the Battle Menu, while the secondary key for the Battle Menu ("✕" | "▢") remained intact. Since the action key is used to navigate the battle sub-menus, that would be omitted as well.

Ultimately, the "◯" would be deemed the feasible key, retaining the "✕" and "▢" keys for the battle menu, as the "▢" | "✕" key functions open and close the battle menu, while returning from each subsequent sub-menu via "◯" key would unnecessary.

By default, for A.I. control of allies and party leader who become allies, to keep them within the flow of battle, are to set a secondary gambit target: *Foe: Party Leader Target*, allowing allies to be active in battle when they are not the controlled leader. The gambits menu is completely removed from the player's menu.

## Active Time Battle & AEM

In Active Mode, command actions are performed in real-time. In Wait Mode, time is frozen while command-actions are selected. Pressing the "✕" (Xbox) | "▢" (PlayStation) | Left Click (Mouse) to open the Battle Menu to select command actions. Command actions include Spells, the use of abilities known as Materia, special abilities, known as Limits and Summoning Materia. The player's default action can be executed using the Action "◯" key. The player can battle any foe that is in range. Targeted foes for attack actions can be selected by pressing Left or Right. While action require execution, evading an attack requires no manual execution.

## Trivia

The Action-Esque Mechanic system was inspired by the battle system from the *Final Fantasy VII Remake*.

## Chrono Trigger: The Zodiac Era enemy

**Facsimile Shadow** is the final boss in *Chrono Trigger: Age of Omen* *Chapter 6: Road to Carnage**.* It is a shadow of Clyde and manifestation of his conscience.

## Items

### First section

The battle is fought with Clyde alone at the *Void Beyond Time: A Shadow's Dream* alone and is divided into 5 sub-sections, each of which Shadow will use a stronger dagger or ninja blade.

Shadow and his dog Interceptor will begin the battle buffed, and  Shadow's positive statuses renew whenever he pulls out a dagger or ninja blade.

* *First section, Shadow will use the Assassin's Dagger.*
* *Second section, Shadow will use the Ashura.*
* *Third section, Shadow will use the Sakura-saezuri.*

When Shadow's HP is left around 40%, he draws an Orichalcum. This is the opportunity to steal his first Genji set: Genji Shield and Genji Gloves, to use before the second half of the fight. After Shadow's HP drops close to 30% he will pull out an imitation of Locke Cole's Zwill Cossblade.

### Final battle

Shadow and Interceptor enter the battle buffed, and Shadow regains his buffs whenever he pulls out a different dagger or ninja blade. This time Shadow uses ninjustu skills, such as:

* *Smoke*
* *Flood*
* *Shadowbind*
* *Gale*

Shadow's standard attacks are strong, as his stats have increased since the first battle. His attacks chain often. When about 30% of his HP is drained, Shadow will use his special attack, Forlorn, and has chance of inflicting limit break damage to Clyde. Because of this, it is recommended to have Reverse using Reverse Motes.

At 70% of his HP, Shadow erects a paling. During this period Shadow can be lethal: his attacks can chain up to twelve hits. His special attacks are replaced by Forsaken and his paling fades after he executes Forsaken twice.

Here, they encounter the Once-King Dalton, who, unlike the Shades have presented themselves before, speaks to the party with a similar articulation as the Ghost Children encountered in their time of existence. Rydia, confused on this new foe, Nyx explains that this Dalton that stands before them is nothing more than a mere apparition, an imprint of time's fabric and explains this '*little show is beginning to reveal itself.'* Ignoring Nyx as much as possible and continuing his articulation, exclaims to Crono, he cannot fool to him, hiding his true identity with a simple change of garments. Dalton continues to articulate, blaming Crono for the loss of his labor, wealth and royal underlings. Before fading away, he makes it clear, the matter still isn't over. Confused, Rydia questions Dalton, only for Nyx to figure the puzzle is just beginning to piece itself together. Rydia agrees with no hesitation.

Proceeding further in the Grotto, Crono gets a heavy feeling of longing and hears a voice calling to him, as Terra did before. The party advances forward only to be greeted by the Steel Shade. It attacks with no words spoken, as Rydia warns it to not think they will go easy on it just because appears as Crono. Nyx, not phased by the ambush, only warns of it or any foe raising its weapon against himself signs away their life. After defeating the Steel Shade, the apparition slowly fades away into the air and the party is absorbed in a gate leading them to the Mansion of Illusion, before the Temporal Research Lab.

### Inside the Time Vortex

The party is sent to the Antiquity era. They believe it is a great rift in time's fabric as there is no stability. Feeling this is the road they must travel to see their affairs to an end, they press forward through the age with little question.

At the end of this age, within the Twilight Grotto, Terra gets a heavy feeling of longing and hears a voice calling to her to come forward, alone. Nyx and Rydia, proceed after Terra, fearing a trap ahead. Later, the party is lead to the Once-Marle's Bedchamber, where they witness the first Ghost Child anterior them. Baffled, they wonder why this apparition has appeared and what purpose does it want with Terra. Without words, the Alabaster Shade immediately attacks the party. After defeating the Alabaster Shade, the apparition slowly fades away into the air and the party is absorbed in a gate.

Ulric's Kukris

**Ulric's Kukris** (ウリックの双剣, Urikku no Futaken?, lit. Ulric's Twin Swords), also referred to as Nyx's Dagger is a pair of kukris (daggers for gameplay purposes) that act as Nyx Ulric's signature weapon in the *Zodiac Trilogy* series. Both Nyx and his facsimile wield the twin daggers. The knives act as a pair, but are not identical with one another. One is said to originate from Galahd, Nyx's birthplace, and the other from the Crown City where he now lives, thus symbolizing both his homelands.

Nyx's kukris' handles are identical, but the blades and the hanging accessory are different. One has a black decorated blade whose curve is serrated, and the hanging accessory is beads with two silver diamond-shaped tags with the royal insignia. The other blade is serrated at the top and has two fangs or claws attached to the handle with cord. Nyx stores the kukris in a leather holster at the small of his back.

## Trivia

* Ulric is Nyx's surname. *Ulric* is a variant of the name Ulrich, which means "heritage ruler." It is also a middle English form of the name Wulfric, which means "wolf ruler."
* A kukri or kukuri is a type of curved Nepalese knife, closely associated with the Gurkha. It is used as a hacking tool, despite an urban legend about them being used as a weapon to slit throats from behind.
Epoch

Wings of Time: Epoch.

**Epoch** (シルバード "*Sill Bird*"), also known as the **Wings of Time**, is a time-traveling vehicle alluded in the Zodiac Trilogy series.

## History

First conceived of by Belthasar, the Guru of Reason, in the Kingdom of Zeal, the Epoch was actually constructed in the far future. A space-time warp in the Ocean Palace tore him away from his home era of Antiquity and deposited him in the post-apocalyptic future ruled by Lavos, sometime before in the year 2300 AD. He traveled to the long-abandoned Keeper's Dome in the south and set up a workshop.

### Maneuvering

In order for the Epoch to maneuver through time, it would need to be powered by nethicite. Not to be confused with nethicite, but deifacted nethicite. This shard, found by Beatrix in Holocene 1800, is dubbed Darkness Shard due to its mysterious, dark aura and its strong containment of magic.

## Etymology

Epoch is a reference date of an instant in time, chosen as the origin of a particular era. In cosmology, Epoch was a date proceeding the theorized, which allegedly created the universe. It ended after the first emergence of life in solar systems.

## Trivia

* In *Chrono Trigger: The Zodiac Era,* the Epoch was going to be a usable vehicle, where the party could travel through different time eras similar to its function in Chrono Trigger. The party would need to use nethicite to use the vehicle, similar to the save crystal teleporting function in Final Fantasy XII. This explains the concept of the Darkness Shard being a type of nethicite needed to power the Epoch in the final builds; the party would not be able to use the shard themselves as deifacted nethicite is too strong to be controlled.

In this stage, Glaring Eye has a 1% chance to spawn after each killed Yan. In the Henne Mines, there is a junction where the player can press a switch to open the doors, which also releases about twenty high level Yans, which makes it an excellent level grinding spot.

## Henne Mines level grinding

The Henne Mines junction is one of the best places to level up using the gambits: Foe: Undead → Disable and Foe: Status = Disable → Curaja. It is better to wait until the party is at a higher level as these Yans are difficult. One can also use Sleepga, as Yan are vulnerable to Sleep, and take them out one by one, or use magick so they don't wake. Equipping Indigo Pendant on the caster makes statuses always hit unless the target is immune.
Kefkaroth

Ultima

Disaster

Forsaken

**Kefkaroth** is a boss in *Final Fantasy VI: Presentiment Era.* It lurks on Triangle Island and the Ancient Castle during the World of Ruin and is the game's most powerful regular enemy, with HP, magic and strength rivaling that of most bosses. The Lightbringer and Save the Caliber can be rarely stolen from it. It also drops the Ultima Weapon.

Unlike the Winged Angel, it has Auto-Regen status. Combined with its very high HP, it is not recommended to set the battle mode to active. It has a chance of casting Forsaken, dealing massive non-elemental damage to the party. Since it is classified as normal encounter, it drops gelt. It has a 1/16 chance of dropping the Growth Egg if Metamorphosed.

In 2008, Mathew attended Recording Arts Canada in Toronto, Ontario to refine his engineering skills and branch out to more professional avenues. He's best known for his work on the famously cancelled fan game, Chrono Resurrection. He continues to strive to help other musicians by providing them tools, or influencing them to achieve their musical goals to provide the world with amazing sounding retro-style music. He began working with Eric E. Hache in 2001 when Eric expressed interest in having more control over the sound he was looking to achieve on the Game Boy Color. (Though, Eric and Mathew were friends long before that).

To this day, his passion still lies in that classic gaming sound, as it always will. He will continue working to achieve his ultimate goal in releasing a 16-bit style soundtrack for an RPG that rivals those of the past that influenced him so much in the beginning.

The party is amnesic upon entering the mansion, implying the area may be sentient and has control over whomever steps into its domain. Throughout the mansion, the party discovers a series of strange and seemingly ordinary paintings. Most of the paintings are as normal as the party views them, with the exception of a view. A series of self portraits of the party are cast in the hallway leading to the exit. Baffled as they would be, the party notices how strikingly similar the paintings are to themselves, stating *"It's almost as if they were alive...".* Upon each inspection, they are faced in a battle with that portrait of themselves. There is a portrait of Crono, Nyx, Terra and Rydia. The last portrait is unknown to the party; it is a portrait of Shadow. Upon inspecting this unknown portrait, the party is faced to fight the Facsimile Zecht, who's appearance is akin to Johnny.

Before exiting the mansion, the party can find a deserted note on the ground that reads: *"Oh Schala...Come home soon...".* Nothing else is said about this note, as it gives the speculation the owner of the note may adumbrate Magus, however it is not clearly known.

Chrono Trigger: The Zodiac Era Playable Demo

***Chrono Trigger: The Zodiac Era Playable Demo***, the playable demo of *Chrono Trigger: The Zodiac Era*, was included with the latest and final rtl version released on November 3, 2020 on the official Zodiac Trilogy website.

The demo is similar to how the full game is confirmed to be constructed, beginning at Port Balfonheim. Every location in the world of Ivalice is playable with the exception of the *Dimensional Vortex.* The player is unable to access said location in the demo version and will be redirected back to Port Balfonheim if attempted. The demo ends after accessing the Empyrean Ravel.

## Demo gameplay

The player starts with all gambits and there are only four playable characters, Crono, Terra Branford, Nyx Ulric, and Rydia, three of which are present in the demo download files, but are not used or implemented. This includes Crono and Rydia's 3D models, and Nyx's facial and hand 3D models.

The game cannot be saved and saves differently from the original and will be corrupted if attempted. Autosaves are the only method of saving in the demo. Some NPCs and enemy 3D models are missing in the demo.

## Demo bugs

* *Bahamut's text string shows the text 'Mother Brain' in the menu.*

* *When entering the Phon Coast and Cerobi Steppe for the first time, the game's audio will appear muted.*
* *After encountering the first Demon Wall in the Tomb of Raithwall, the player's party allies will appear behind the Demon Wall.*
* Some locations entered will appear with a black screen, *prompting the player to reload their autosave to fix.*
* *The Stilshrine of Miriam/Walk of Sky is replaced with an unused map.*
* *If the player accesses Giruvegan/Gate of Fire with four active party allies, the fourth party ally will become suspended or T-Posed.*
* *The Limit Break animation voiceovers appear in Japanese.*

There are a few dialog and text string changes for abilities and NPCs. Despite having been written off for full version release(s), Freya and Steiner still appear in the archive files, but are unused. It can only be seen via hacking them in the active party. Their sprites and text still remain with the exception of Freya's text at the Eruyt Village, which has been renamed to 'Late-Viera', possibly referring to Fran, the viera, despite using the Soul of Ivalice 3D model.

## Dummied content

The playable demo version includes various dummied, unused content, 3D models and unused maps; notably, the Celestial Weapon and character models.

## Trivia

Three files were present in the game's download archive, but were not used, nor viewable with any 3D modelling program. These files had to be moved out of directory to prevent game errors. The files were:

* "cro\_d\_dcll.dae.phyre"
* "hc\_nx\_d\_dcll.dae.phyre'
* "ryd\_d\_dcll.dae.phyre"

The demo features Terra, Nyx and Rydia as playable characters, an allusion to the original project.
