Chrono Trigger/Chronology

This Chronology of events is related to the history within the game as before it is affected.

There is some complication to the whole time travel element of the game. The world itself has a history up until you begin playing as Crono; however everything after that, the future that you see, happens after Crono, Marle and Lucca travel to the past (600 A.D.), and then the future (2300 A.D). Thus, the future was affected by their absence in 1000 A.D. (the ensuing aftermath led to 1999, which led to 2300 A.D.). When they appear in 2300 A.D., nothing is "changed" because it had never happend before they had arrived.

For altered states of history and events that happen due to the past's meddling, such as after Crono and the gang kill Yakra, historical entries are noted in blue, and altered states in red. Events that don't change history, but are considered additional are also in red.
