History, Locations, and Artifacts / Enigma Of Sun Stone And Keep
« on: June 04, 2004, 10:14:47 pm »
Well, I don't believe there is any mention or even a hint of Reptites using the Sun Stone at all. I dont see why they would need it to power the Tyrano lair, there are torches all over the place and the only "vehicles" they use would be organic creatures. I saw somewhere mentioned up there that perhaps the Stone is of the lightning and fire elements (because it is associated with light). I dont think it would be associated with the lightning element if the Reptites used it because they fear lightning, it weakens them pretty bad, doesnt strengthen them (cept for the energy release from the mega, giga, and terra-saurs, and the Nizbels). I think the Zealians created it from materials that HAD absorbed sunlight for over 65 mil years. Perhaps the material in the Sun Keep in the spot where the light continually shined, absorbed sunlight, forming this material that perhaps was later shaped into a sphere for efficiency purposes maybe. As for the origin of this material(s), i cannot say.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Access to The End of Time
« on: June 04, 2004, 09:35:31 pm »
Well in the beginning of the game, the Gates appear to take you from one specific location in time to another specific location in time. Examples: link between Leene Square in 1000 A.D. and 600 A.D.::Guardia Forest 1000 A.D. - Bangor Dome 2300 A.D.
Where the gate in Proto Dome would have taken the party under normal circumstances is not revealed. Gaspar says that all time periods connect to the End of Time, which means that every gate in the CT world will lead to at least two locations: its intended location as designated by the Entity or (perhaps) Lavos (applies to the gates created by it only), and the End of Time. Its my guess that Lucca's gate key has something to do with how the gate operates, remember that even if she isn't in the party, the item always remains with you. In 65 mil B.C., when the gate key is stolen, it is revealed that without the gate key, the party would not know where they would turn up in time if they used the Mysitic Mountain Gate (the intended location of the Mystic Mountain gate is also not revealed, {though that is where you are sent after the battle with Magus according to Ayla...}) so, they may not get as lucky with finding another gate as they did in 2300 A.D. (remember that they only found it because of the computer in Arris Dome). All that aside, i believe that after the experiences at the End of Time, the party CHOOSES to go to the End of Time via the technology of the Gate Key. My reason for this belief comes from the following situation: After the defeat of Azala and the fall of the Reptites in 65 mil B.C., a Gate appears at the Lair Ruins, supposedly created by Lavos. Even with the ability to go to the End of Time, the party CHOOSES not to and decides to go to the mysterious intended location of the gate (to Earthboud Island, 12000 B.C.). But afterwards, the gate leads back to the End of Time.
After some thought, I've decided that the End of Time does not draw people to itself after they've been to a gate's intended location once (this does happen throughout the game, but i think it is a coincidence). My reasoning for this is because the party uses the same gate twice to go from Leene Square in 1000 A.D. to 600 A.D. and back, and Gaspar says that too many people are appearing at the EoT, which would have to suggest that they went through a gate, and then found another one (yea right). So, in conclusion, the reason why the party always ends up at the End of Time is because they choose to using the Gate Key ( most likely to exchange party members and to have access to several other gates).
As for your question about whether or not they age, well biologically they would, just because time may be halted in the End of Time doesn't mean that motion and decay are halted. For if it did, then the end of time wouldn't truly be the end of time now would it because Gaspar and Spekkio are able to move.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Information about the Entity
« on: June 01, 2004, 11:06:21 pm »
I was slightly disappointed that the planet ended up being the Entity. Before CC came out, I had always assumed that the Entity from CT was Schala. I don't know why, it just made sense to me that she could orchestrate such a complicated plan. And I still don't get why Lavos ripped Chronopolis back in time... oh well.
