Did Lavos create all life? Is Lavos basically good then?

Both CT and CC are awfully inconsistent about this, but i find this piece of "exposition" especially disturbing. First off "universe " is probably a mistranslation of "planet", but that's the least problem.

Schala's narration seems to describe panspermia, that Lavos is the one force to bring life to planets, but there's almost nothing else in the games to support this.

And that would mean Lavos would somehow launch away from the planet and on to others to continue its process there, plus that some chosen person somehow becomes part of it, an idea that's both scary and unsupported by anything else in the canon.

We also know from CT that there wasn't just life before Lavos arrived, humans were already intelligent and developing, contradicting this and earlier statements about Lavos giving humans intelligence. In fact the only immediate effect of Lavos' arrival is that Reptites eventually died out, leaving humans to take over the planet.

So what exactly was going on here? Was Schala just rambling insanely? Did they just screw up all continuity about a very major aspect of the story, or was this whole exposition just very badly translated?

Anything Chrono Cross, aside from the awesome soundtrack, is shit. It is fanfiction riding on the fame of the amazing Chrono Trigger. The original team's managers weren't present, and the new writer is a complete idiot.

Never both with anything from Cross, besides the soundtrack.

>video game story is inconsistent

This is why I don't (or rarely) pay attention at all. Most jrpgs have only somewhat competent writing in the first town you're in, and that mostly consists of the random dialogue the npcs give you at a time of peace. Why bother at all?

>Schala's narration seems to describe panspermia

Do we have any concrete evidence to suggest we should trust Schala's narration as a matter of fact? If we assume A != B then we have to assume either A or B. This would avoid any inconsistencies in the story. Also, this is once more insisting on this incredibly childish ideal that the creation of life = good. We haven't even gone out of our way what this 'good' even entails. And if we assume we can't come up with a satisfying answer, why even question it to begin with? Are all video game players this boring?

>fanfiction is inherently bad

Is it, though?

>CT is amazing

Is it, truly?

>generic video game soundtrack #3000 though

Wouldn't one rather just listen to Mahler's fifth symphony?

>universe is probably a mistranslation

Or a synonym used in order to avoid having to use the same word twice in quick succession. It's all gabbly gook to me since assuming planets can be inseminated they can't also be born from insemination, you can't create X by Y when X is already X. So it's much more likely universe is not a mistranslation for planet.
