This is precisely what I meant, is that Lavos manipulated Queen Zeal. And possibly Azala, as he/she was the one who summoned Lavos back in Prehistoric times.
Queen Zeal does not have a weak mind. She was upset at the death of her husband and was corrupted. Azala did not summon Lavos. The red star was falling before you even got to Azala. Why the hell would Azala summon Lavos if the reptites would die cuz of it.
You COULD say that Queen Zeal DID have a weak mind, being distraught at the death of her husband, THEN falling into darkness because of it. Why wouldn't you think so? Just because it's too cliche?
As for Azala, she DID summon Lavos; she summoned Lavos because she knew the Reptites would die out, but didn't want the planet going to the humans or "Apes," as she called them.
She tells us this after we defeat her Black Tyrano in her Tyrano Lair. Azala was full of herself when she kept telling the humans they would be the ones to die out.
How did Azala know her kind was fated to die out? Because she's telepathic. You witness her telepathic powers when you fight against her along with the Black Tyrano. Also, Ayla tells you that Azala is very smart, and that Azala knows things that she couldn't otherwise know if she wasn't telepathic.
Secondly, if Azala was as powerful to summon something so great, then Azala should be the second hardest boss, and he's not.
Not quite. Magus summoned Lavos in 600AD, and he's hardly as strong as Lavos, or even second strongest to Lavos, at that.
We know this, because, after we defeat Magus in his lair, he corrects us when we say that he created Lavos, and he tells us that he only "SUMMONED" Lavos.
And let's not forget, when Lavos was summoned at the Ocean Palace, Lavos incapacitates Magus.
My point being, just because you're strong enough to summon Lavos, doesn't mean you're strong enough to kick ass.
Now really, Have you even played CT or CC? If you have, you really need to replay it >.> If you haven't, then do it now >.>
Yes, I've played
Chrono Trigger and
Chrono Cross; my memory's still foggy, but I'm replaying
Chrono Cross right now.
Don't worry, I'll study hard just for you, just so I can realize how correct you actually are! You are just such a GOD, with all of your Chrono knowledge! I bow down to thee!
...you can stop trying to roleplay as Janus now. The snootiness is getting really obnoxious. That, and you should straighten out your facts, too. You may be correct about some things, but you're still not 100%, and you'd benefit from straightening your own facts for yourself, as well.
I can admit when I'm wrong, and I think you can do the same.
...so, ehh, yeah. Tell me I don't know jack, and I'll let you have it.
Lavos can communicate telepathically and mentally manipulate those with weak minds and strong ambitions.
You mean when Zeal's soul was corrupted when she drank Lavos' power AGAINST IT'S WILL? Yea.
What do you mean when you say Queen Zeal "drank" Lavos's power?
It's a parasitic lifeform that devours a planet's resources THEN DESTROYS THAT PLANET.
Yea, um.....Making room for it's thousands, possibly millions of kids?
I guess that could be the reason, but it's not like every maternal creature kills everything around the nest that its trying to raise its children in. Lavos being insanely overprotective of its spawn? Well, it IS a theory, and not too improbable.
Two, why would Lavos bother destroying a world if it had already taken all of the nutrients from it? Perhaps, no matter how efficient Lavos was, it couldn't take all of the nutrients from a planet, or simply took all the nutrients until it had grown to maturity? Why then, still, would Lavos destroy the planet? Perhaps, there were MULTIPLE Lavos, who competed in feeding off planets, and didn't want their rivals getting their hands on their own source of nutrition? Perhaps, Lavos was actually a sentient race, and each individual being of this race was at odds with each other?
Doesn't that kinda contradict the conjecture of Lavos being a weapon, which you seem to support? Anyway, why do kids fry ants with a magnifying glass? They're superior. They practically OWN those ants. They can do whatever the hell they want with them.
Not at all! I support that Lavos is a sentient lifeform. However, I see your point. I'll agree that it's quite possible that Lavos has an image of itself being God-like next to us "insignificant" humans. Good theory.
Ehh, but I still think Lavos is a bit more logical than just being drunk with its own power.
So, what do you think? Lavos: Biological weapon? Or, Lavos: Sentient Lifeform?
It could be both, but I doubt he's a weapon. What kind of race makes something that advanced, doesn't do anything when they can't control it, and designed it to target infantile planets they have no grudge with, take MILLIONS of years to bide it's time, then destroy it when the race has probably forgotten about it? That's just stupid.
You're saying it's impossible to design a biological weapon with that large of a gapping flaw?
My conjecture for this being a little more grandiose, because there is more than one Lavos, and they're all in competition with each other for survival. Why leave behind something that your enemy can survive off of? I believe that Lavos takes a "charred earth" philosophy in warfare; it destroys resources that it can't use or doesn't need, so it doesn't leave anything behind for its enemies to use.
So....wait....You're making it seem like Destroying planets is a form of economy. Dude, the Lavoids are working for the benefit of the entire Lavoid gene pool! They're being counterproductive if they work against each other and themselves. Zebras don't eat other Zebras.
Zebras are vegetarian, anyway. Bad example! However, I do believe you are onto something regarding Lavos, and it's desire to benefit its entire generation, along with its desire to evolve. Though, I still think my theory is more interesting! :D
Either way, thanks for your input, as I DID ask for it!
