1999AD: How Director knows about Lavos?
« on: June 02, 2010, 06:03:43 pm »
In the bad ending, Day of Lavos, after the two guys leave the Director, he says: "Lavos...", but, how did he knows about Lavos? Why anyone knows about Lavos, just the Director?

As I remember, I read in Chrono Compendium in somewhere about Director, but I don't remember about it O.o :shock:

Perhaps thanks to the Mystics. They know of Lavos thanks to Magus, so perhaps that's how humans knew (eventually).

Although, it wouldn't solve how he knew the creature rising from the ground was Lavos, as I doubt the Mystics knew how it looked like.

Maybe they did geological surveys, similar to what Zeal must have done. I wonder, now, whether Lavos was pre-programmed (or had pre-planned) to destroy the world in 1999, or if the Central Regime got cocky and made a slip-up, Zeal style.

Queen Zeal's doing, perhaps? It would stand to reason that she may have informed humanity of how long they had left to live. She does so as Crono's party approaches the entrance to the Black Omen, at least.

But there's no Black Omen before.

If you saw a green dragon monster popping out of the Loch Ness, you'd assume it was the Loch Ness monster. If you saw a giant bear-humanoid creature roaming the forests in your back yard, you'd think it was Big Foot(or, if in Mexico and eating goats, the Chupacabra, or in the Himalayas, the Yeti). Probably more analogous, if you saw a winged lizard, dragon, or a horse with a horn, unicorn.

Lavos was probably a mystical, legendary being for these people. They knew they fought against Magus in 600 AD, and they probably knew enough that he was trying to summon Lavos(the Mystics worshiped him for creating him, so that may also be the case). Of course, the time period between 1000 and 1999 AD is 999 years, and a lot of discovery can happen in between.

That's my theory.

@Truthordeal
Yeah, make sense, but...why didn't someone tried to stop Lavos, or something?
By your theory, maybe it's because they thought that just was a Legend, so they didn't believed that Lavos was real...

@Magusmage: Why would anyone believe that Lavos was just a legend after the Rise and Fall of Zeal?

The survivors could've easily passed on the story of their ordeals with Lavos through oral tradition.

From there, it would be a matter of piecing together what the creature looked like, making a composite design based on the most substantiated accounts, and finally archiving the final compilation for future reference.

And by future, I of course mean 1999 A.D.

Well, even Zeal is barely believed.

Well, if Zeal can barely be believed, why not Lavos? After all, the evidence for both their existences in the years between 1000 and 1999 A.D. are meager.

@GenesisOne
Yeah, it's so strange.
And I was thinking now: what happened with the Mystics? They died in 1999AD? ALL mystics?

No, the Mytics didn't all die by 1999 A.D.

They simply relegated their existences to the interiors of the Medina Domes. However, seeing as to how there are no mystics in the year 2300 A.D., I am to assume that they were all wiped out by a combination of theoretical means:

- The Day of Lavos wiped out all within close proximity of his wrath
- The Volcanic Winter between 1999 and 2300 (yes, Lavos' reign of destruction would cause tectonic shifts which would result in earthquakes and volcanic activity)
- Killed off by rogue robots in between that span of time
- Killed each other for survival in the aforementioned Winter

It would explain their absence in the year 2300 A.D.

What says everyone else here?

The report in the Dead Sea seems like a geology report?
Perhaps in CT timeline they do similar investigation.
