You can't really call a machine evil...and I never found FATE as evil, per se. More like, "Goal driven" Willing to do anything to keep everything in order.

(In case you missed this, Lynx is revealed to be the incarnation of FATE in Chronopolis.)

[Chrono'99]

Lynx's mind did got corrupted when he went into Serge's body. Dark Serge terrorized villagers and traveled around in El Nido with Kid instead of going straight to Chronopolis to get the Frozen Flame.

The reason would be why....... Why did he do it..... unless Lynx gained a soul during the process.

I think Lynx wanted to make everybody turn on Serge if he was able to get his body back. So he raises hell for a while, then goes and then heads over to Chronopolis and goes and rules the world.

[AuraTwilight]

Or he could've been driven totally INSANE by the ridiculously obscenely incredible power of the Frozen Flame after accessing it for the first time.

[Zaperking]

or the Tear of Hate did it.

Gah, you took just what I was going to say! I was thinking that possibly the Tear of Hate took whatever bitter feelings he had inside and increased them ten-fold.

[AuraTwilight]

I don't think the Tear of Hate has that power. Otherwise wouldn't Serge become all snuggly with Kid after he reconstitutes himself? Like, alot?! I think the Love/Hate thing of the Dragon Tears is just symbolic of them being from different dimensions and how uniting them breaks Liminality and crap and basically makes an Anti-Frozen Flame or something.

[Kazuki]

Wasn't Kid AWOL from the party when Serge gains his real body back? So even if he wanted to get "snuggly" with Kid, he'd have had no chance, considering she's off doing her thing and isn't seen until Chronopolis, where she then puts herself into a coma, until Serge revives her via Mastermune.

Another thing; this is what Radius says to you after you've revived her:

Radius: Thank goodness... This must be the power of Serge's love. Hoh-hoh-hoh!!!

Though, I do agree with you to an extent...the Tears of Hate/Love are most likely, at the core, symbolic. But, the more literal interpretation has some merits as well.

[AuraTwilight]

Well Serge was kind've in love with her anyway. And technically, It was Mastermune's power that saved Kid. That due's a hopeless romantic

[V_Translanka]

Pffft, I still stand that Serge is an emotionless tool and that he's only as 'in love w/Kid' as you make him out to be...

[Zaperking]

Exactally. We know that Kid and Harle have feelings for him, but he doesn't show them. So we're expected to know that he still likes Leena, so that's why they get back together at the end of the game.

And then there's the whole deal with Schala, and how she wants to find him. Well, if she doesn't love him like she wants to be his wife, maybe he's really a reincarnation of Janus Oo

Well, them getting back together is more based on the fact that he's forgotten everything he's done, so to him nothing's happened except that he passed out on the beach for a few minutes.

[Kazuki]

Nightmare, quick as always to hop on the train that leads to flame city, eh?

Totally. I do not understand the Planet's infatuation with him...making him the arbiter, having four girls chase after him etc.

[Burning Zeppelin]

i really want to know whats going on...
