The Mysteries of Giant's Claw
« on: November 07, 2005, 08:17:23 pm »
Does anyone have a clue as to what happens to Giant's Claw?  It just dissapears.  Also, how could the dinosaurs survive there?  And wasn't Tyrano Lair obliterated?

1.) Giants Claw submerged some time after 600ad...  Square likes to do that.  Just look at that one island place in FF6, where Hideon lived.

2.) Dinosaurs survive under there because they would have been underground and protected from the Ice Age that would have otherwise killed them off.

3.) Tyrano Lair was mostly destroyed, but parts of it were just buried underground during Lavos' crash.

Square may may like to do that, but what's the justice behind it?  Wouldn't the water level have risen considerably, like when Zeal falls down?

Well, You know how in 1000AD some guy says that the earthquakes are getting worse, possibly an earthquake after 600AD may have submerged the Giants Claw again.

The main thing we have to point out is that when Lavos fell on The Tryno Lair, the whole place was destroyed in the picture, and even a cavern was created, but it turns out the whole place was just pushed under... Okay...

Lavos crashed on Tyrano's Lair, there's no way it could have been preserved and just pushed under... Maybe Giant's Claw and its inhabitants are something like a "dream of the planet" or some kind of undead dinosaurs (Rust Tyrano :? )...

Well because it's obvious that the lair wasn't destroyed, that kind of gives light on the Pocket Dimensions theory. Possibly to enter it, he used warp speed when he hit the Tryno Lair, appeared in the Earths core and got into the pocket dimension. Him using hyper speed on impact could have caused the Tryno Lair to change position, if like at 1/10000th of a milisecond Lavos was maybe like 5km under the Earth, the moment he opened the pocket dimension, the Tryno Lair maybe switched place and went to that 5km under the earth whilst we still see like an illusion of Lavos crashing into the planet... Umm okay... Dunno if that will truely work but hey, anything is possible in the CT world.

What is the point of seeing an illusion of Lavos crashing into the planet, simply to hide the fact that according to your psuedo-theory got sucked into the PD? It's not as if Giant's claw is important to the plot anyhoo...

How is it not? It is just as important as any other part of the plot, just because there is no major occurance doens't lower the merit of the scene.

I never said it lacked merit; I just don't believe they would concoct such an elaborate scenario for a "side quest".

Its fact that Giants Claw is the old Tyrano Lair, and dinosaurs survived down there.  Apparently, parts of Tyrano Lair were intact, and creatures did survive the explosion.

I'm gonna go with the idea of Giant's Claw being a "dream" of the planet, an attempt to preserve it psionically or supernaturally. This power of the planet might come from the power of the Rainbow Shell, who knows? (Maybe the Rainbow Shell is a refined form of Dreamstone? Bah, I'm getting ahead of myself.)

Pure speculation.  We know the ideal of the planet, and it was the Reptite Dimension.  I don't see how a shattered ruin of what could have been could be the planet's dream.

Yeah, I agree.

Also, I don't think it is completely unreasonable that the very lowest sections of the Lair couldn't have been built firmly enough to push their foundations further into the Earth, rather than being outright destroyed. Conventional explanations are not completely discounted already, I hope?

If it's not a dream, it might be a nighmare (the Black Dragon's "dream" wasn't really his ideal neither...). I may be speculation, but saying that a stone building was crushed by a meteorite without being destroyed but just "pushed underground" (including its inhabitants) is a... plot-hole.

It was mostly destroyed, yet some of it survived.  Are you going to now discount the parts of Tyrano Lair inside Giant's Claw now?
