The End of Time

The End of Time is a time period in Squaresoft's Chrono Trigger. This is a list of named time periods defined in various fields of study. ... Square Co. ... Chrono Trigger (クロノ・トリガー) is a role-playing game that was released in Japan on March 11, 1995 for the Super Famicom and in North America on August 22, 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES); it was re-released in 2001 for the Sony PlayStation (PS) as a...


As its name implies, it is located in the extremely far future, represented by the infinity symbol in Epoch's time gauge. It is the point of least resistance in the space-time continuum. All lost time-travellers (such as those who enter a time warp in groups larger than three) end up here. Inhabited by only Gaspar and Spekkio, the End of Time is a dark and desolate place. However, it contains portals to all other time periods including the Day of Lavos and Crono can also park the Epoch there. The End of Time further features a rejuvenation point and a save point. Infinity is a word carrying a number of different meanings in mathematics, philosophy, theology and everyday life. ... Epoch (Silvard in Japan) is the name of the flying time machine the characters of Chrono Trigger use at some point into the game to cross time and space, making their travels easier. ...

From this vantage point, Gaspar can glimpse into any point in time. In the video game Chrono Trigger, Lavos is an alien being fallen from the skies in 65,000,000 B.C., causing an ice age. ...


The End of Time is first visited by Crono, Lucca, Marle and Robo when all four enter a time warp together. Gaspar explains things to them and the heroes are forced to leave one (and later more) team members there so they can escape, although they can swap party members from almost any point in the game. The End of Time is also the place where most of the characters can gain magic power from Spekkio and sometimes get hints on where to go next from Gaspar. In a game featuring frequent time travel, the temporal nexus of the changeless End of Time might be viewed as a "base of operations" of sorts for the heroes. Spoiler warning: Marle is a character from the 1995 video game Chrono Trigger. ...
