  • Chrono Trigger:  The entity

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>So I was looking at Gamefaqs message board, a place to find wisdom about games, and it seems like the Entity debate goes on even 7 years after the game's out.

So that leaves me to this question, who do you think the Entity really is? I always thought the Entity was Schala. Thoughts?

Also, while replaying Trigger, it seems like one of the theme they have is that Lavos embodies dreams, and dreams is what made humanity beat the more advanced Repetites in Chrono Trigger. Or, going by Cross, it's more like a evolutionary mutation. Zeal's books talked about how when man first picked up the Dreamstone, that's when they evolved from just apes to what we're today. Although Dreamstones do not come from Lavos (Ayla had one before Lavos landed), it seems like the two are interconnected. It reminds me of the quote in Radical Dreamers... "You're a fragment of a star, that fell from the sky." The fragments of a star (I think it alludes to Lavos) is what made humanity evolve... interesting stuff. Would've been nice if they actualyl expanded on it...</div>
