1) It has discrepencies because they can't get the full date on Lavos from their timeline. If you can't reread the quote, don't post on it.
Proof? PROOF? Use your common sence or shut the f&%^ up with your theory ideas. If you've never read the first part of Chronopolis, it says it's a military place where they work for the benefit of the children or something. Chronopolis is top secret, and if you look into the game script, even the Counter-Time Experiment and Frozen Flame, and anything to do with the real Chronopolis is Top Secret.
Things are only irrelevant to you because you don't want to answer them. Cheap.
Learn one discrepencies mean. It makes contradictory data. They had data on it.
Chronopolis being a military facility, and that means its top secret. Right. I live near a militart facility. People know about it. Things the facility does may be top secret, but the facility itself isn't. And its irrelavant because it has nothing to do with either when Lavos rises, or the nature of time, or anything we are arguing about. Oh yes, forgot to say this: PROOF!?
Lavos rising in 1999 is canon
Only to the plot.
LMAO!! Yeah, lets keep arguing it then! I mean, its only true to the plot, not to anything else! You know what, screw the plot!
The point is that there is no real record of it happening in their timeline. That's why thye're saying that "in some timelines". In their timeline, Lavos was dead. Remember, Lavos is connected to 12,000AD. Crono and co defeat him in 1999AD, hence deleting him from all of time. They go back to their time and because they time travelled, another timeline is built ontop, and no Lavos appears.
The points on the timeline where Lavos is alive after Crono defeats him, the Canon-anti-zaper version: pre 65,000,000bc, before crashing up to creation of pocket dimension. 12,000bc, when he destroyed Zeal. 1999ad, when he surfaced to try and destroy the world. All of this is canon.
Lavos = Big Fire. If Ayla's language is for instance the equivilant to Latin, then La Vos may mean Big Fire and the Director may have used it appropriately.
Also, Lavos may have been a legend or an urban myth. It would not have been fact. Just like Zeal is not fact to them. also, I'm not sure which one is correct, but either Chronopolis or FATE was already built by 2300AD.
Ayla's language may or may not be their equaliant to Latin. But still, who would speak it 65 million years later? Its only been 2000 years since Latin was spoken, and nobody except the Pope speaks it now. Now think: If you saw a giant porcupine erupt through the earth's surface, would you say to yourself the Latin words for "Big Fire"? Its obvious they knew who Lavos was.
And I'll try to be nicer, but I just get so frustrated by reading your posts...
