Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: Insane Theory #99
« on: July 24, 2007, 03:43:22 pm »
An anomaly in respect to what?  Certainly in respect to humans, but who's to say such a splinter isn't natural for a Lavoid?  Why just wait around for some good DNA to pop up when you can use a bit of what you already have to speed things up?

EDIT: With all due respect, I think the biggest issue I have with this theory is that it doesn't work by itself.  In the normal Lavos timeline, one could easily assume Schala "interfered" with Lavos, and that didn't seem to do anything to change the Lavoid life cycle.  Lavos still destroyed civilization and reproduced spawn, as is seemingly normal.  It's not until Crono & Co get involved and destroy Lavos that the Time Devourer comes into existance (if one could call it that).  If anything is an anomaly with respect to Lavos, it appears less likely to be Schala and more likely to be Crono & Co.

In any event, I've taken some more time to consider the entire "defensive devourer" theory, and I'm starting to put together a more comprehensive theory.  If anybody has any other refutes to it, please share them so I can look them over.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: Nature of the Dragon Gods

The way I thought of it, the Dragons (Harle included for the sake of argument) are each a splinter of the complete Dragon God/Lunar Dragon.  They're independently-minded, but they all stem from a single being with a single mind and will, and, for the most part, all have the same fundamental desire for reunification.  Each Dragon is its own person/dragon, but at the same time longs to return to the single entity it was once a part of.

Well, that's my take on it, anyway.

Alpha, with all due respect, where's the support on your theory?

The Red Rock (Not the dreamstone) that powers the Mammon Machine is the Frozen Flame, part of Lavos' shell, that was discovered in 3,000,000 B.C.

Wait, could you clarify that?  I thought the Red Rock was Dreamstone.  I can understand how the Mammon Machine could be a device made of Dreamstone with the Frozen Flame as its power source, but I never thought the Frozen Flame itself was the Red Rock.  Didn't Masa/Gran state that Schala's pendant and the Masamune/Granleon was made of the same red rock as the Mammon Machine?  Wasn't Chrono's group able to get some of the same red rock to repair the Masamune before Lavos fell, and thus before the Frozen Flame?

Just a quick question, what do you make of the Nu in 600AD, in the Cursed Woods?

I'd be glad to hear from them.  Still thinking of how to word my take on the arbiter-fusion issue.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Insane Theory #99

Having just read through the Lavos article and the notes on the Time Devourer, a thought came to me, and I felt like sharing it.  Yea, I just joined the boards to share a random idea I had.  Go me.  I don't even know if this is original, as I've only read the article and didn't take a lot of time checking this on the boards.  Anyway...

As I'm sure most of you are aware, there's some debate as to whether Lavos purposely made/evolved into the Time Devourer, and if so, why it it would even do so if the Time Devourer's purpose was so contradictory to Lavos's plans.  The idea I had was that the Time Devourer was not made to consume all of time and space, but rather just the timespace composing the planet it landed on and was eventually defeated by.

Consider, for a moment, an insect with an incredibly bitter taste (look up the Battus or Machaca for examples), perhaps even containing a poison deadly to other creatures.  If some predator tries to eat it, it'll probably spit the thing back out (or, using the poison example, die), thereafter avoiding the bugs.  The species as a whole thrives with the mere sacrifice of a few unlucky members.  The Time Devourer may serve a similar purpose, albeit on a much larger scale -- an entire planet, no less.  Destroy Lavos, and you risk having your planet's entire history poisoned and killed.  Imagine such a result had Serge and company failed; Lavos's decent in prehistoric times may have well just eradicated the planet, thus insuring nothing arises there that may jeopardize the existence of its species throughout the universe.

The most obvious refute I though of was the fact that the game actually states the Time Devourer would end up "destroying all of existence," later stating that the remaining sane half of Schala took actions to "save the universe."  I'm wondering if this was misspoken or downright overstated, as one could consider their own planet "all of existence/the universe" to a point, or if the Time Devourer would, by its nature, be limited to consuming/destroying the planet it inhabited regardless of its desires , or a handful of other things, but at this point, I'd just be splitting hairs.

Anyhow, I'd love to hear some thoughts on this theory, even if it is just my first post.  Thanks for reading though.
