okay i read the first 2 and a half pages of this thread and decided to put in my own bit.

first lets deal with the whole Necron and Zeromus thing. i personally dont think necron died. and zeromus is a perfect example to prove this is possible! Zemus died... then guess what? his spirit (aka zeromus) lived on (admittedly with the help of being consumed by hatred but nevertheless). if zemus can die but live on then why can necron not?

as to his purpose? it seems pretty obvious to me from just reading the game text. necron wants to return all stuff to void but he does not think it is time to do so. Kuja tries to destroy the Crystal. necron thinks "hrmm some dude just tried to destroy the Crystal" and cos hes probably a bit dim "hrmm does this mean that life has decided it doesnt want to go on?"

this also makes me think that necron isnt actually evil. i hate it when people say death is evil. its NECESSARY. some CAUSES of death are evil but DEATH ITSELF is not. if you think death is evil then does that mean your all in favour of a grossly over populated world?

necron is the embodiment of death. he thought that because some poofy ponce tried to destroy the crystal then all of life clearly desires extinction. made sense to him. in fact it even sounds like he was doin it because he thought everyone wanted it

"In a world of nothing, fear does not exist. This is the world that all life desires."

enforcing my idea that he isnt evil. he did it because he thought existence wanted destruction... he thought he was doing a service to the universe :P

so zidane and co kicked royal but, necron realised that "hrmm okay maybe life doesnt want out" and he probably imploded in a sulk cos it wasnt his time yet.

ps. i didnt mean it kuja, love ya really :P
