Lavos And The Universe

[Green Dream]

Also imagine what this means for the Chrono universe.  What if Lavos isn't the first one of its kind?  Could earth be hit again by a similar parasite?  If not, what created Lavos so that it would be the first of its kind?

One of the foremost thoughts of mine about Lavos was that it's actually some kind of biological super weapon gone out-of-hand by whatever psychotic creators unleashed Lavos upon the universe. Either Lavos is the first, or one of many...I want to see its origin played out somewhere...

Not to mention that if there are other Lavoses, then there could also be other beings on the same scale as the DoT.

That sounds suspiciously like Deis from Xenogears...

And Leebot provides still more proof that all here should try Xenogears.

Exactly what I was thinking, Ybrik.

For some reason, it shows Collaboration as having a post count of 0. Is this because I'm using IE on this machine, or is somthing weird going on?

Collaboration was created for the Real World Influences article, whose separate parts have been or will be created by various authors.

A question came to me while reading this; is it inferrable that Ice Ages on other planets would not have occurred save for a Lavoid's impact? Ones unafflicted by Lavoids may have Reptite or Dragonian similar lifeforms. Also, it is said in Cross that humans did not evolve into intelligent beings until after contact with the Frozen Flame; is it neccessarily a fact that a Frozen Flame splinter of a Lavoid's shell occurs with every landing? The Chrono world may be very unique in its universe.

Given that Ice Ages appear to be a phenomena that occurs in reality as well, I don't know if we can assume that all Ice Ages in the Crono Universe are brought on by Lavos. I think we'd need to see a more in-depth explanation of Crono's planet as well - 65,000,000 years is a long time for a single Ice Age and seem to remember reading theories here that suggested that only the initial period was brought on by Lavos. (Not sure what I personally think about that.)

Who knows what other races lie out there. Perhaps that's where the series will go next?

Not to mention that if there are other Lavoses, then there could also be other beings on the same scale as the DoT.

That's a scary thought. Perhaps another "Lavos Invasion" is still very possible? I don't know about the likelyhood of another Time Devourer, though - that was born under some very unusual circumstances. It might be possible, but seeing that trick again in a later game might be a little bit of a rehash.

Then who exactly made the parent post?

[ZeaLitY]

Technically, I did with the Religion/Cultures/Calendars thread, but Blackomen initiated the deep name origin investigation on Gamefaqs that revived the project. This is not to say that his section will be the largest.

Our planet is in more of an "Ice Cycle" than in or out of an ice age. The planet gradually shifts from hotter to colder climates. Granted, this can take over 30,000 years, so you're not liable to notice. If I'm not mistaken, we're currently in a warming period. It's possible that Lavos' arrival created an ice cycle that was disrupted (and halted) by his conquest of the world.

Sounds suspiciously like conservative propaganda  to disprove global warming from Xenogears... (I've decided that that's how I'll end all my sentences in this post from Xenogears.) Wow, two sentences, and it's already wearing thin from Xenogears. End post from Xenogears.

[Beever]

I'd like to know what all of these "Lavoids" are going to do once they've run out of planets to drain the energy out of...drain each other?

[Radical_Dreamer]

Well, no, when that happens, they're all just gonna starve to death. That's what happens when you run out of food. Of course, given the nature of the Lavos species, by that point, the universe itself would probably be dying anyway.

[V_Translanka]

Run out of planets? Is that even possible?

[Radical_Dreamer]

The universe is finite in volume. Therefore, there are a finite number of planets, and an even more finite amount of planets that can support life. Since the food source is finite, the Lavos species will eventually starve to death, assuming that they aren't exterminated first.
