Show Notes

With a plan in motion, all that’s left are a few final preparations before the gate machine is activated and the journey will have reached its end. Before their hopeful return to their universe, T tries one last time to consult with a master of war (and magic), Spekkio. T and G discuss: * Crono, Marle, Lucca, and Robo’s first arrival at the end of time (after violating the Conservation of Time theorem), time’s point of least resistance, and meeting that Master of War, Spekkio! * Trivia about Spekkio in the world of Chrono Trigger: Did you know you can encounter Spekkio as a Frog? We’ve played the games more than a dozen times and have only achieved this once! * Rampant speculation as to what exactly Spekkio is (and the mysterious Q-continuum-esque circumstances as to how it may have acquired the title, “Master of War” ...And that’s it for this book!
