what would the deltarune equivalent to chronotale be like?
OH OH I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE TBH AND I THINK EVEN DABBLED A TINY BIT IN IT BACK WHEN CHAPTER 1 FIRST CAME OUT
My initial thought was to naturally combine Chrono Cross/Radical Dreamers and Deltarune together in a similar vein as CT and UT- and that’s what I did back when chapter 1 first came out (in a way, I do have old art of this concept with Kid as Susie and Serge as Kris)
Alternatively, I do also have old CT x DR concepts and art as well, which includes old art of the zeal family taking the place of the royal Spade family, Glenn as Rouxls and Crono as Kris and Schala as Dess. (All separate concepts. Schala as Dess is the concept of the zeals replacing the holidays)
All of this said though, I realize none of this doesn’t really completely qualifies as a “ChronoTale equivalent” of Deltarune given ChronoTale only really replaces a select few characters if any at all. (That being just Frisk) so I suppose maybe just the main party would change? Maybe just Kris?
It’d be fun to explore that aspect and play with the idea of Crono’s potential relationship with the player/SOUL. Something we never get to see in Chrono Trigger given he’s the player character.
Maybe take Chronotale and give it a fresh spin just as Toby did with Undertale (even tho i know Deltarune technically came first)
But also I’d hate to just throw Lavos in again and rehash the main plot of ChronoTale, even if Lavos is my lil blorbo LMAO /silly
PLOT TWIST LAVOS WAS THE KNIGHT ALL ALONG!!! /j
Deltarune is more about escapism and defying fate- the latter being more like Chrono Trigger imo
I mean hell, they literally go back in time to change fate…which could work honestly.
Like, say something bad happened to Crono’s mom when he was really young and he was left abandoned in the woods by the bunker where he was eventually found by Toriel (whole thing could’ve been set up by Gaster as well or smth) so she takes him home and adopts him, Asriel eventually goes to college and prolly meets, idk Lucca and/or Chara LMAO idk i’d need some time to think about everything
Granted it’s a bit harder to squeeze some of the other Chrono Trigger characters in but I think I could eventually think of something. I feel like something could definitely be done with the Gaster shenanigans tying in with the Zeal family
Maybe Dess just became one with the dream devourer like Schala LMAO /hj
Maybe Lavos and the Knight are at odds because of their conflicting goals
Maybe Lavos is fascinated by the dark worlds
I DUNNO BUT EITHER WAY DARK WORLD DESIGNS FOR THEM ALL WOULD GO SO HARD AND FUN TO COOK UP
