Probably not the right place to ask this, but someone will likely know.

I'm playing Chrono Trigger and, **********spoilers ahead*************







Spoiler!
up to the part where you can choose to fight or spare Magus. If you choose to fight Magus with Frog can you beat him but not kill him? If you do that can he join your party, and does Frog become human in the ending? Is there a way to recruit Magus and have Frog live? Cause, I'd like to do both, but if I have to choose one, I think I gotta help Froggy.

You can spoiler tag on here btw



Spoiler!

If you fight him, you kill him - he wont join your party and you wont see him in the ending but Frog does become human*

You can choose not to fight him (by forgiving him) - he'll join the party (best magic user) and also has Schala's necklace item (which can be received even if you fought him) which prevents status effects from happening.


*Honestly, I would recruit him - the ending isnt that.....good with him being human - he flashes white then the screen changes to the next part of the ending, you dont even see him human form at all (in game wise).

The PS1 version from what I remember shows him in human form in the animated cutscene for the ending but you dont see his face at all - but seeing from behind, he looks like a Dragon ball GT Vegeta.

Its not that all special - might as well recruit him and just watch the alternate ending on youtube.


Edit: Or you can do what I did and play the game multiple times (and get all 10+ endings lol).

I could spoiler tag, but I was lazy and I figured that was fine for a 30 year oldish game. 

I could just watch the ending, but there's a difference to me between watching it and earning it. I played through the game and got the regular ending and the meet the dev team ending you get from fighting the boss at the earliest point with Chrono and Marle. I'm liking it more this time, but not enough to play through again I think. Mainly doing it to prepare to finally beat Chrono Cross.
