Too many fucking games have used this trope.

Open world games ending with the characters death is fucking stupid.

I get what you mean but in my opinion it's a superior system to something like Deus Ex where you just choose which ending you wanna watch at the end.
It doesn't change the fact that you have to play the game with a 3 different walkthroughs open at the same time and pray to God you don't miss something

Three things suggest that Guardia was able to rebound from this fall in 1005 A.D. Firstly, Radius speaks of Guardia as if it were still a sovereign nation. Secondly, Norris reveals when he approaches the Frozen Flame that Porre requires it to surpass the other strong countries of the world. Lastly, in the ending General Kid, Kid declares that the first order of business for the Dragoons is victory over Guardia, and then Porre. This suggests that Guardia did make a comeback, and that perhaps Crono and Marle are still alive and restoring the kingdom to its former glory.

Perhaps the most important evidence arguing for their continued lives is found in Chrono Cross; both pieces originate from Lucca. Firstly, in Lucca's orphanage, several drawings of Crono and the other heroes were made (perhaps excluding Frog and Magus). Considering that the drawings feature Kid, they were probably done after the Fall of Guardia, by the time she would be able to sketch (with other kids perhaps contributing with drawings). If Crono and Marle were dead, and Ayla and Robo had returned to their eras, how could the children know what they look like to draw them? One simple possibility is that the children used photographs. However, one drawing at the bottom of the wall appears to be of a Nu, suggesting that perhaps the heroes of time did visit one another (possibly through the Epoch, if it were not dismantled). Next, the second piece of evidence comes from Lucca's letter to Kid. Once again, its timeframe must be established. Since Lucca speaks of Kid's mannerisms, it had to be written after the Fall of Guardia (Kid would only have been one year old otherwise). Within the letter, Lucca speaks of her friends in present tense.

Yes, you can theory craft until the cows come home, but in the end, what was the fucking point? Why taint the ending of Chrono Trigger like that? If they wanted an imperialistic nation, they could have had it spring up on the other continent, it didn't have to be Porre. The fact that it's Porre and that they destroyed Guardia is such an ancillary part of Cross that it's not even left clear to what extent Guardia actually IS destroyed, as you showed.

Given the fall of Guardia is so unimportant to Cross, why even bother to include it? If you are going to have such a major event that ruins the happy ending of Trigger, it needs to actually serve a purpose. Otherwise it's just shitting on the original game for no reason.
