oh wow i had never seen this

Apparently some of this stuff was in the CT Ultimania! I think I had never seen any of it until last year though

Old design Lucca is making me go insane. Toriyama (Im assuming) saw her and decided to give her just the biggest, dorkiest radio helmet

i love that lucca is a solid foot taller than crono

I wouldn’t trade the Toriyama designs for anything but these are also extremely cool.

As much as I adore where things ended up I kinda wish he'd kept the opaque glasses + giant bow tie for Lucca

Also early Robo looks just like the Mammon Machine huh

I think I messed up the alt text on the first one. Caption under the character on the far left apparently reads "aristocrat's daughter" and it's probably Marle rather than Schala. Also there's some kind of "monster man" in front of Robo and the guy on the far right is Gaspar. Crucify me like a dog

I can't pick out anything that might be Robo at all...

Oh you're saying the mammon machine thing is still Robo but there's something else there too?

blot.city•60 days ago

The Mammon Machine looking thing is indeed apparently Robo! The head of the unidentifiable short guy in front of him is about level with Lucca's torso. Circled their respective faces bc it is hard to parse through the sketchy style

Bonus: early Queen Zeal already looking unhinged

All taken from this page. Interestingly the Zeal art is listed as being of unknown provenance
