Question - the scene in the thumbnail, of everyone hanging out around a fire - does (or where does) that show up in the game?

I played through recently and don't remember coming across it. Not sure if I forgot or missed something obvious.

It only happens if you do the optional side quest in 600 AD, where you fight the monsters in the sand pit to restore Fiona's forest, then go back to 1000 AD and go to the shrine. I'm sorry if you missed it, it has some of my favorite moments in the game.

Thanks all for the answers! I knew I didn't do everything, I'll make note of this one for future playthroughs. Wonderful game, I do feel like I'll be coming back sometime.

You must. It's pretty much as emotional as the game gets.

I don’t want to spoil this quest for you because it’s one of the most touching things in video games ever. This is a fairly spoiler-free explanation how to kick it off: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/950181-chrono-trigger/answers/16685-how-do-i-access-the-fionas-villa-side-quest
