So like, Chrono Trigger had people in 12000 BC called Earthbound ones. And CSNES seems to put a lot of importance in Chrono Trigger. Therefore Earthbound the game is connected somehow with that. Maybe. Probably.

OK, that's crazy and I apologise.

I have a better theory, so hear me out.

We know Pokey is involved with getting Nexus to declare war on Earthbound. Well, the reason for that is that I think the Sovereign of Sorrows knows that the Earthbound heroes are very dangerous, despite her being an Eldritch Abomination, because they have experience in killing one (Giygas is, after all, an expy of Azathoth. Pokey even calls him an almighty idiot!). Now, of course, the real reason Giygas was killed was because the Real World got involved and blasted him to oblivion (Perhaps it's the original Gamemaster who did it?).

Either the Sovereign doesn't know that and believes that Ness and company killed him somehow, or she does and knows that getting them involved will spell her doom. Either way, the Earthbound War is her way of keeping Ness and his friends occupied with defending their homeland and not with investigating her, meeting up with Alex, and kicking much sorrowful ass.

Still, if it does turn out that that plan fails, there's always Touching Paula to try and kill Ness and Alex.

There's also other reasons why the Sovereign wouldn't want Alex to get anywhere near Earthbound:

1. Ness is a Silent Protagonist. If he, Crono and Megaman ever met, BAD THINGS will happen to her plans. Hell, just Ness and Crono alone will cause heavy villain-related property damage! I hope her insurance is paid up!

2. Jeff and Lucca meeting? Fireworks, and not in a good way for her. They might even *gasp* upgrade Alex's Scope to dish out 1.21 gigawatts' worth of pwnage to, oh, I don't know, kill his worst fear or the Sovereign or something. (cookie for reference)

3. Paula's Pray command is (one of) the most powerful force(s) in VideoLand. Should be obvious why the Sovereign doesn't want her around.

4. Poo has the Objects of Kings. Bad things will occur for her, if the other heroes can get over giggling at his name. Also, he should totally meet up with Frog.

5. Jeff/Lucca.

6. The Saturns and the Tendas. They may have something up their sleeves that may help defeat her. I wouldn't put it past them.

7. The rolling HP bar. It's an excellent tool in the right hands, as it can prevent mortal blows if you're fast enough.

8. Did I mention that I ship Jeff and Lucca?

So yeah, that's my theory of why the Earthbound War came about. Of course, I could be totally wrong, but that's Wild Mass Guessing for you!

For all Crono's power and wrath, he's been following the Sovereign's script pretty much this whole time. Even if he and Ness meet up, it's very possible that they'd be on opposite sides of the war of fire and ice. But of course, there's another silent protagonist that fits all the criteria of an ally for Ness, especially as befits a role of slaying unspeakable horrors.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.

You know, that's actually a pretty good point. I do recall that Crono blew up the entire Red Wings Air Force because of that dead Marle rumor. It would be difficult to get him to calm down at best and he does have a tendency slice first and ask questions later, especially in his current state of mind. No doubt a Ness vs Crono duel will tear up whatever city they're in.

And Breath of fire 2 Ryu? Never played it so I don't know him, but I have heard of the series, but hm...having wikied it, it might seem to be an interesting choice. Having a guy who can transform into a dragon might be a good addition to the team.

If Crono had been following the Sovereign's script he'd be dead right now. Remember how pissed Spoony was about him not going through the gate to FF4?

The Cat intervened at the time, and do you honestly think Spoony is privvy to all of the Sovereigns plans?

No, Crono has been dancing to Her cursed music ever since he arrived in the FF4 world.
