Why did the dinosaurs have magic while men did not?

Why did the dinosaurs have magic while men did not?

Because the dinosaurs were aliens. Magic is just advanced science

Magic requires some degree of intelligence. Ayla was too stupid to use it properly.

...Which would make sense if it weren't for that Marle has one of the highest magic stats in the party, and she's a dumbass.

They were more advanced than humans in every way, they just got rekt by Lavos.

Science is just advanced magic

Ayla is for ______ _____

Had to give the dinosaurs an edge or else they'd all've been eaten
Humanity's too strong

Breeding with to ensure one of the heroes of time is born to stop Lavos from destroying the planet.

SNU SNU

Reptites had a very elemental form of magic that was probably powered by the land or some tribal shit, humans didn't get magic until Lavos fell and his energy started forming by way of the red stones, i.e. Zeal

I'm glad the reptites survived.

>didn't get magic until Lavos fell and his energy started forming by way of the red stones, i.e. Zeal


What was the earliest time you could punch Lavos in the dick?
Was it before Zeal?
If so, does that change the timeline?
I don't remember the ending at all, mostly that Lavos took a good half-hour for me to beat

Would you say that Chrono Trigger is Lovecraftian?

On your first run, after leaving the future with Robo by using the bucket, and on NG+, the millenial fair

>one of the endings is Frog fucking the Queen
>literally nothing changes except Marle croaks
there is nothing wrong with snu snu, it changes nothing. Plus, Kino has shit genes and doesn't deserve it

i thin he means chronologically

>one of the endings is Frog fucking the Queen
>literally nothing changes except Marle croaks
I thought you said Frog was fucking the Queen, not Marle

!

>he doesn't have ayla as permanent party leader from the blackbird on for the rest of the game

I did actually

>ywn have a hot cavewoman present herself to you

Party is always Crono, Ayla, Frog

It isn't the time travel fuckery that bugs me. It is the fact that the Chancellor is locked in a tiny chest for the majority of the game (even before Crono wakes up) and is somehow alive

>wrote a fanfic long ago about Ayla pouncing Flea and commencing suck
>lost it

>ayla fucks flea and creates a race of musclewizard dickgirls
Good end.

Isn't it only like 2-3 days?

Its an easy mistake

You can't fight Lavos until 12k through the black omen. In 65m bc he is just underground as soon as he lands

The only correct answer.

Air holes

The dinosaurs used Psionics: telekinesis, teleportation, hypnosis and the like. Humans didn't get magic until Zeal started getting exposed to the red rock of Lavos and began their eugenics program to enhance the nobles' capabilities.

But they put all their eggs in one floating basket so only the recessive magic humans survived who need Spekkio to reactivate it.

wait what the fuck i thought i went to the correct tab goddammit

The Reptites used Elements. Elements are nature based 'magic' whose power is drawn from the Planet. Human magic is channeled from Lavos after it altered human DNA to make humanity symbiotically compatible with itself in order to dominate the planet while it parasitically absorbed the Planet's lifeforce to reproduce. When Zeal started to draw too much magic from Lavos, it awoke and culled most of humanity and altered human DNA again to make magical affinity recessive.

Dino big brain. Human teeny little brain

Are the party's spells human magic channeled from Lavos or planet magic?

Lavos. Guardia and it's people are literally direct descendants from Zeal. Marle's pendant is Schala's pendant because she is her direct descendant. All Spekkio did was awaken the dormant magic genes in the party. That's why Ayla cannot use magic, she was born before Lavos and cannot channel its power.

The only fallacy in the plot is how the party was able to use magic in prehistory before Lavos descended; although you can hand wave it away by assuming he must have been close enough at the time to channel from.

FALCON HIT

The party's magic is elemental though. Why is that different from reptite element based magic? And why is Spekkio drawing out their latent Lavos abilities? I tend to think of it more that Lavos genetically engineered humans from 65m bc on to allow them to be more likely to use magic which was still based on planetary elements if they honed those abilities. That would explain why the party can still use magic in 65m bc even though Ayla and other cave people cannot, since they are tapping into a power that is already there but the only reason they can tap into it is due to their genetics

Magic is magic, it is the power source that matters, Lavos or the Planet. This was literally the source of conflict in Chrono Cross. Two timelines at war; the Reptites Planet-powered Dinopolis, Elements, and Dragon God vs Chronopolis' magic-powered Technology and humanities' FATE-supercomputer. And Elements =/= elemental magic. Chronopolis won and the only remnant left of the Reptites are the Elements and sealed Dragons. Elements are the mystical stones used in Chrono Cross which were created by the Reptites and their descendants.

He's basing his explanation that humans draw all their magic from lavos on Chrono Cross. Trigger intentionally leaves magic vague.

this girl doesn't look like she smells too good

i bet she has a strong feminine musk

...

I don't remember CC establishing that all human magic was drawn from Lavos at its source. Sure reptites and Chronopolis were at war but I don't remember magic being the crux, more like FATE was just using every method at its disposal, magic, technology, the Frozen Flame, etc to battle dinopolis

Was that the first thing you thought of when you saw the image? Smell?

>i seriously hope you guys dont get me killed

How did the dinosaurs not wipe out humanity instantly?

smelly hairy pusy

With hair that nice?

You know this Girly grooms and cleans that delicious obsidian shaved poon

they hid like roaches long enough for lavos to come and shit on the dinos

>one of the endings is Frog fucking the Queen
What? How did I miss this

Chronopolis was powered by the Frozen Flame which was explicitly said to be a direct conduit to Lavos' power. That was why FATE was desperate to kill Serge, because it needed to restore access to the Flame's conduit which it got locked out of when Serge touched it as a kid.

In Zeal it was stated by the scientists in Kajar that Lavos is the source of all human magic, channeled through the Mammon machine which, while never confirmed, probably contained the Frozen Flame.

Who /comfy/ here?

>In Zeal it was stated by the scientists in Kajar that Lavos is the source of all human magic,
Didn't they harness magic from the planet and the sunstone before using Lavos' power from the Mammon Machine though? ("They claim we don't need the energy of this tired, old planet.") Which sort of proves that humans can harness magic without Lavos since before they discovered Lavos' power they were working on harnessing it through other means

Yes, humans could use Elements too. Zeal used Elements, such as the Sunstone, but as they said, human's had a better affinity for using magic channeled from Lavos (because it modified humanity explicitly to do so). The humans in the El Nido islands used Elements freely. Humans were born of this Planet and could use it's power too. They didn't have as much mastery of it as the Reptites did and would have died off without Lavos' intervention due to Darwinism.

Because you touch yourself at night

...

...

>comfy
>when most of the sprites are the same when your character gets knocked out
Nope.

>Frog "sleeps" with his ass in the air.

Oh my. Who do you think he wants to notice?

As far as I know, the Dinos didn't have magic.

>The dinosaurs used Psionics: telekinesis, teleportation, hypnosis
The only supernatural skill a reptile used was telekinesis. And that's not necessarily "magic" in the CT universe.

What "elements" did the Reptiles use? The only thing I can think of, is the Tyrano shooting fire. But that could be an ability seperate of magic.

I did actually, with Chrono and Robo

Kys

Trigger keeps it vague on why so we don't know

mayone is the hottest trap in gaming

Man, I always wondered what sweaty primal Ayla smelled like

Reptites were more advanced. Then Lavos happened, Human genome altered, so we advance faster than we would have, we discover the natural magic of the planet, start using that, then discover Lavos, start tapping it for power, Zeal goes bye bye, and with it all it's knowledge of magic, both natural and Lavos based, magic in humans then atrophies to the point that it needs an outside source(Spekkio)to be activated.

She teleports that huge rock in before she uses telekinesis to smash someone. Pretty sure there was some other stuff too like charm or stop but it's been years.

Also, they used telepathy to contact Lavos in the first place to beckon it. God they were such preachy hypocrites in Chrono Cross.

>She teleports that huge rock in
Oh yea... I forgot about that. I guess that could be some kind of magic. But What? It's nothing like the elemental magic we see.

>Also, they used telepathy to contact Lavos in the first place to beckon it.
is that a cross thing? or a trigger thing? I don't like to cross the streams so to speak. It didn't appear to me that she was telepathically beckoning Lavos in Trigger. It seemed more like they misinterpreted a red star in the sky. Kind of Game of Thrones ish if you think about it.

>Chrono Trigger fanart

>Oh yea... I forgot about that. I guess that could be some kind of magic. But What? It's nothing like the elemental magic we see.
No shit, that's why it was referred to as >Psionics
Although Square eventually started to file time/space/gravity manipulation under DARKNESS, or Shadow as it would be in CT.

>is that a cross thing? or a trigger thing?
Trigger
>It didn't appear to me that she was telepathically beckoning Lavos in Trigger.
Not on screen but she says that they all called out to it ritually as they realized humans were set to inherit the Earth. It could be wishful doomsday thinking on her part but then summoning a planet eating monster falls in with the "Be careful what you call" themes that is seen with Zeal and Mother, and with Magus's ritual in the middle ages. It's also a very similar modus operandi to the summoning of METEOR in FFVII that came later.

Wannabe but yes
