Nu?
« Reply #30 on: October 08, 2005, 04:25:40 pm »
I thought that the letter M came from an ancient Asian tribe the name of which I know but I can't remember right now (my brain stopped - or never worked :P). I remember, however, that this symbol meant "water". The Greeks took it later and transformed it to almost exactly what we know as M (Mu?).

By the way, the word "Nu" reminds me of a similar Greek word (you could spell it: "Nus") which means intelligence and/or mind (Belthasar copies his mind into a Nu's mind, remember?).

P.S.: There is also a game named MU Online. If the Zealians had electricity and Internet, they would probably play NU Online or something...  :wink:

Nu?

Quote from: Radical Dreamer
Actually, the name "Nu" also associates with the whole time idea.
I'll explain soon, I promise (gtg right now ^_-).



Ok... As promised....... :)


The people of Zeal were very advanced both technologically and spiritually (some might compare Zeal to Atlantis.... ;) ).

In Hebrew, the word 'Nu' is being used almost daily.
It's a word that express the will to haste someone or something...
The wish for something to happen faster...

Moreover, in the game, Nu is a creature that lived in all time periods. From the begining of time till the end of time (final form of Spekkio).




"All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu...
This is the truth! This is my belief! ...at least for now."

Meanning:
First of all this is a reffernce to the fact that Nu exsists in all time periods of the game. Since the people of Zeal weren't able to see the past or the future, through research Belthasar, a very wise man, realized that the Nu's are a very ancient race which will probably even outlive the human race. Also notice that Belthasar left his message regarding his "Wings of Time" trusted within a Nu which after delivering the message, started sleeping beyond time...

Secondly, this also comes to tell us that life are short. Time flows like a river, very hastily. I belive time travelling kind of prove that point, that everything is temporary, don't you think? ^_^


And I must finish with:

~ "Every night has its day.
Even forever must come to an end....
I think."

;)

Masato Kato himself, represented by a Magus statue sprite, said it. A nun (a real one, not a Naga-ette) in 600 AD says the contrary:
Quote
[Nun]
   In our world, every storm has an end.
   Every night, brings a new morning.

   What's important is to trust those you
   love, and never give up......

   We must all keep hope alive...

But wasn't the Nu in 2300 A.D. just a program, maybe a robot or something, and how the hell would a Nu survive the Lavos eruption?

The same way a human would survive, by not dying.  :P

You sure yoshie? Creating a machine that can fly & travel trough time, and creating the Mammon Machine and the Black Omen would take some time. A Nu is probably an immortal being, or indestructible

Only the one in Belthasars place. Oh crap, i forgot that that was one of my most favourite parts, coz of the sadness and the beautifulness...that and Nu died. Hmmm, does eternal sleep mean dead, or just asleep, in the DBT perhaps. I smell a new thread being made...prob by me. If all Nus could be pressed asleep, you would be seeing all these NUs all over the place

Not necessarily, it seems as though Belthasar had to tell the party to do it before they could. Perhaps it's hidden and only Belthasar knows about it? Maybe it's internal even.

Of course, I know how to make humans fall aslepp for eternity too! I put my index and middle finger together, and point it near the left nipple, and i...STAB! But seriously, the Nu was probably tampered with. "The Living Organism: No longer Sacroscant" anyone?
Whats after Nu in rank anyways? I mean, V is almost reaching 2500

Who knows, maybe in the Japanese version the Nu asked you to actually strangle him or something, but the American censorship changed the action to "push the button OFF" :lol:

The Nu in Keeper's Dome, 2300 A.D. is what you would call a Cyborg.

Once it's purpose was complete, it was put to a sleep beyond the flow of time , an eternal sleep, which some might consider as death...
