The Entity, named such by the party during the Fiona's Forest Sidequest, is the mysterious being behind the machinations of the quest to save the world. According to their speculation, this Entity is reliving the unpleasant memories of its past, which results in the creation of the Gates to certain eras. Lavos is said to figure hugely in the life of this being. After this meeting adjourns and the members go to sleep, Lucca awakes to find a mysterious, Red Gate in the forest. This allows her the opportunity to prevent Lara from losing her legs in 990 A.D., which can be interpreted as assistance from the Entity. At the Moonlight Parade, Lucca mentions that the Entity is probably at rest now that Lavos is defeated. Beyond these tidbits, no other mention of the Entity is offered. This, unfortunately, has resulted in long debate over its identity; arguing has subsided in recent years due to the general consensus that the planet is the one sending Crono on his quest. However, evidence still exists for other candidates, and some still vie their debates with others.
The Entity is nearly without a doubt the planet, viewing the turbulent times of its past in which Lavos disrupted its life. The planet is also said to have a dream (in the last chapter of the Japanese game's save title and in Chrono Cross), and can also act (also evidenced in Chrono Cross). It is most certainly not the player. While this classification may seem appealing at first, since the player is controllin the party's actions, one must ask him or herself: did I program the Gates into the game?
It is lastly worth noting that in the Japanese version of Chrono Trigger, it was stated that the planet would eventually recover after the Lavos spawn had left. This was a line given by Mother Brain, and was strangley cut for the NA release.
Theory and Analysis
- Entity (Why couldn't it just get rid of Lavos itself?)
- Gates (Why do they initially lead to era exits then later to the End of Time?)
- Gates (What is their useful life and length?)
- Guardia Line Paradox (If Ayla leaves prehistory, how does Guardia exist in the future?)
- Planet (What are the geographical changes over the eras?)
- Temporal Distortions (Who caused them in Chrono Trigger?)
