The White Dragon Defies FATE?
« on: July 06, 2005, 08:05:00 am »
Alright, I didn't know if this should be here or in the Characters...etc forum, but figured since the Dragons are like Gods and if nothing else, agents of the Planet...

Well, my question is that the White Dragon appears to defy FATE. I mean, the Dragons are each supposed to be bound to their respective islands, aren't they? That's why they're so pissed and want Serge to defeat FATE, right? To release them. But we see the White Dragon flying about El Nido several times throughout the game before FATE is destroyed...at Viper Manor and after the Dead Sea stuff when it saves Serge & Co. not to mention when it just comes down out of no where onto it's island...

I don't think the game ever said that they were bound to their respective islands.

Besides I thought the dragons wanted Serge to defeat FATE so they could raise Terra Tower.

Also I don't think the Dragons are agents of the Planet.

Maybe, because he was the most powerful dragon, he went to Home World, where FATE's link is weaker, and managed to escape the Island in 1006 AD. He can't merge with the other dragons, though, so he's got nothing to do then to watch FATE, Lynx and Serge, checking what they're up to.

The first time I saw Miguel, I was surprised that his special attack was called "Holy Dragon Sword". I thought that maybe he once met the White Dragon and she might have gave him this Tech (like how the Blue Dragon gave Serge the Water Breath), but the game never says anything about that... The only detail which could hint at this theory is that the White Dragon appears right after Miguel is defeated. She might have kept an eye on him (well, on Serge too).

Its been a while since I last got that far into Chrono Cross, but I believe your right.  So maybe the White Dragon was keeping up with current events in the world?

No, I think the Sky Dragon saves Serge because it's the only free Dragon. Holy Dragon Sword is an attack given to Miguel due to his connection with FATE, that might of taught him that using stolen Dragonian technology.

FATE was the one who invented the Elements. The first Dragonians didn't use separate colors (the Dragon Tear is non-elemental, the original Dragon God and the Chrono Cross are rainbow-colored).

Maybe I should continue my replaying of Chrono Cross.

Originally, El Nido was nothing but ocean.  The El Nido Archipelago is purely artificial, created by FATE. It was a remodeling plane that took place 10000 years ago. A plan to include island, blessed with nature, in the sea of El Nido. The main island of El Nido, Earth Dragon Isle, Water Dragon Isle, Black Dragon Isle... The development of Elements, using the energy of the natural world... The distortion of memory terminal devices called the Records of Fate that could survey and guide people's lives... The research center staff, who had their memories erased, left the center, and began a life outside amidst nature. This is how FATE's paradise came into existence.

I always thought FATE duplicated the Elements, being as the Chrono Cross shows Elements did exist before FATE invented them... But yeah, maybe the Dragonians, the "true" children of the Planet, used Rainbow Elements, more focused and powerful elements.

I thought the Dragonian's made the elements period... which is why I need to replay Chrono Cross.

Yet I still find something wrong with a super computer using the worlds natural energy to create elements, but meh what do I know.

It doesn't sound to me like FATE 'invented' them so much as it seems like they 'continued' to develop them...Because the Elements were discovered by the Dragonians in the power points in the world...

Yes, well, I always got the feeling that almost all the elements (Except for the high level ones like Deluge and Tornado) were nothing compared to actual magic. I wonder if FATE could discover magic, like Spekkio. She did have the FF in some point.
