1. Thinking they're apart from Nature & abusing Her to their own ends rather than remembering they are a part of Nature & showing Her the respesct She deserves? This is surely a satirical statement on the current state of humanity on Capcom's part! An early civilization with advanced technology also has shades of the Mayans.

2. 1st time I've heard any of those 6 themes & WOW, all seriously dark & dramatic. Very hard to pick a favourite, but I'd have to say the FU/FG8 1-99 just shades it, with the MH2 a very close 2nd. I also agree with our learned host that do do create an air of mystery & things long past.

3. It wouldn't surprise me if there were.

4. The way the Ancients messed with genetics, there could well be E.D. hybrids & more bio weapons lurking undiscovered.

5. I'd have to fight with the humans by default for survival, but I can completely see the Dragons' point of view.

6. I can see a couple of possibilities here: i: They had the intelligence to go into hiding until the apocalypse was over in order to survive, or ii: they are to the Great Dragon War what Dr Who was to The Time War: the entities that finished it by obliterating both sides.

7. I have a feeling that the story of the Ancients v Dragons could a long running sub-plot to the games, & if so, it could well turn up in the future.

8. Given that Duremudira has only been found at the Sky Corridor, I think it's one of the Ancients' "guard dragons", but whether it was trained for this purpose or engineered for it, I really can't say.

9&10. Given my answer to 7, yes I would & therefore I think a video is innevitable & would be welcome.

11. Much modern technology has its basis in something much older, so very probably.

12. I'd tell them not to mess with Nature, as she always wins in the end.
