Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: Theory on Day of Destruction
« on: December 19, 2020, 02:26:06 am »I always just thought that 1999 just so happen to be the time period for Lavos hibernation to end.
What's interesting about Lavos attack on the world in 1999 A.D. is the fact that it's the first time that Lavos attacks without being provoked.
Every other time in the game Lavos had to be provoked. In both 12000 B.C. and 600 A.D. Lavos only appeared after someone did something to wake it up.
As far as Chrono Trigger's story goes I don't see Lavos as good or evil. Lavos is just going through it's life cycle. Which will cause the end of the world.
We the players who play the game see Lavos as evil because of the final outcome which is that Lavos will destroy the world if it's not destroyed.
I think the most interesting thing about Lavos is it's relationship with Queen Zeal in the Keystone timeline. Lavos clearly didn't like that Zeal woke it up in 12000 B.C. yet it lets her live on the Black Omen without taking hostile action against her.
On the first point- perhaps he was provoked. I have some theories, like humanity became advanced enough to find him, or perhaps someone actually did find him? Or maybe it's a space faring capability kind of thing? Or, does it count as provoked if Lavos, upon waking for whatever reason, seeks to destroy humanity and everything else, so to make the DNA it collected more precious.
On the second point- Did he let Zeal live? There's a pretty good argument to be made that that woman, like Janus said, was no longer Queen Zeal. Did he possess her, or just corrupt her like Saruman, or what? Dunno. Buuuut, I don't think he let her live, exactly.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: Theory on Day of Destruction
« on: December 19, 2020, 02:22:23 am »Let's also consider that Lavos may have inherited the intelligence of the humans, Mystics, and Reptites. Yet, as you said, Lavos may be too complex to even understand intelligence. It may also be that it's too simple, or dumb, but I find that highly unlikely for a creature so evolved as Lavos.
Having intelligence would suggest that Lavos' actions are malicious. However, the only times where it purposefully caused destruction were when it arrived on the planet and when it was ready to spawn, both of which are inevitable during its course of life. Everything else is in response to some other event to protect itself. So in all, I would agree with you that Lavos is not evil and is simply following its instincts to live.
is lavos so evolved? perhaps he was designed, in which case, it's something between an automated machine and, i dunno, housefly.

To use the size of domes in 1999 as an indication of Guardia's existence is... ehhhh... Maybe Guardia fell, or maybe it's just different. Like England. Yeah, they have a queen, but, so what?

It's entirely possible the ripple effects would be minimal, even negligent by 600AD.
If Zeal had become so dependent on Lavos's power, and it was only by tapping into Lavos's power that enabled their ascension, once Lavos was defeated, what would become of Zeal? A great fall, no pun intended, I'd think. Maybe not in quite such dramatic fashion, but then again, almost.

I don't see that knowing what someone will choose because you see into the future necessarily negates their free will.

You know one thing I personally wouldn't do? Make the main character immortal. Limitations are always more interesting than abilities, and the more vulnerable a character, the more we side with him/her. It's more conflict if they're mortal, it's more adversity to overcome, it just makes for a better story.

I don't know how well I tell it, but after... what? A thousand days of stories probably, he can deal with a repeat.
Actually, I don't think we finished it the first time. Kid's got an attention span like

If I could obtain square's blessing/whatever, I'd LOVE to novelize CT. I'd change a few things to make it a bit more realistic (Ayla a caveman instead of dinosaur times, maybe?), but Square is so crazy they told Crimson Echoes to cease and desist when they had no footing to demand it. So, doubt it would ever happen.

I tell the little one a story every night. Like, every. Night. I'm seriously out of stories. But a few days ago he asked me to tell the Chrono Trigger story again. Yay! I can stretch that out over several weeks, probably.
So I figured I'd share, that's what I'm up to around 9 every night.
Marle just disappeared when everyone thought she was Leene.
