Miguel knows what he's saying. He knows the difference between FATE and the entity Fate in his speaches. Someone whos has 14 years to think over about it, not to mention if he was intergrated with FATE's intellegence, then he'd definetely know.
And by you to say that it was a poetic metaphor is like me saying that the whole camp fire scene in CT was a metaphor too to explain the gates, which case it could be a lie aswell.. >.>
So Miguel, an undeniably insane FISHERMAN is more credible than a group of a robot with 400 year's pondering, a genius, a mage who probably knows some stuff about the workings of the universe, a caveman with no moral or religious bias and thusly the clearest clarity of the group, the typical hero and heroine, and a guy weilding a holy sword? WHATEVER! >_> Also note how Miguel keeps switching between metaphor and reality. He's totally nuts.
Kid's Speech
Now this is what I mean. Regardless of who Fate is in her speech, she has a point. A point Chrono Trigger's been making since the beginning. Humans are responsible for their own actions. NO ONE ELSE! For example, even though Lavos made us what we are today, we are still responsible for the pollution we caused.
I don't personally believe it, but somenoe once said that Miguel was also kind of intergrated, that way FATE would know what he's doing there and if there's any guests etc.
If you don't believe it, why'd you bring it up?
Because if she ment the entity, then that would still mean that it existed, but how can an entity die... It wouldn't make sence...
You are an entity too, you know. And you can die.
And if anyone says that Miguel is crazy, then Kid is just as bad. Hello, Dark Serge is right infront of her going on how he likes this new body and shit, and she's going on about how shes gona kill Lynx (Serge) when the group members are saying it's not him.
Keep in mind that Kid was partly possessed or something then.
And guess what. Belthasar himself was saying something about destiny and how it will guide you or something. And why is one of the chapters something like "Chrono Cross - Where destiny's meet" or something like that >.>
Belthasar is probably even more nuts than Miguel, and he was also speaking in poetics. Face it, Zaper. All your evidence is poetic, literary dribble.
Oh the irony. I'M the conceited one.
