I know it's been mentioned many times on this board that people have heard something to the effect of "time's eyes will lead to saibot" whispered in the krypt, and it has been widely suggested that this is a hint to the final secret. Personally, although I have heard whispering in the krypt, none of it sounded like that to me; however, I had a theory on it assuming that's what it says.

As everyone knows, Saibot is Tobias, as in MK co-creator John Tobias, spelled backwards. As most of us also know, John left Midway and the MK team to found a new video game company, Gigante Studios (at least I think that's what it's called.) Anyway, Gigante released a game called Tao Feng. From what I've heard its reviews are less than extraordinary. Now, this leads up to my theory: my interpretation of the kryptic krypt whispers is that perhaps it is not a hint, but a prediction: basically, time will see the return of Tobias. In other words, Gigante will go under, and Tobias will come crawling back to Midway and the MK team.

I know it's not likely, but anyone else think it's possible? And furthermore, would you guys WANT Tobias to return? After all, Tobias used to write the MK storylines, and now John Vogel does; and MKDA's story is much more in-depth than anything in MK history. So how do you think Tobias' return, were it to happen, would affect the story?

Well, I always thought Tobias was great, but.... you DO have a point. MKDA's story is SO much better than that of some of the other Mortal Kombats. Perhaps he could return in some of form, and leave Vogel the head writer, I think he did a marvelous job with this game's character stories. I'm not sure if Vogel was the reason, but this game's batch of new characters greatly surpasses those that appeared in MK3 and MK4, mainly anyway. It is an interesting theory you have though, maybe a cheap shot at him from the MK Team. But I think he left on good terms, so maybe not. Guess we will find out in time, because unless the next game produced by Tobias' company is FAR better than Tao Feng, his company will be dying a quick death.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I may be wrong butonce I reas that one of the reasons why he left the MK team was because of the path the story was going to...

And besides I do have heard the whisper, and it clearly says "time will lead you to saibot", in order to hear it clearly reduce music volume

Leon, he left because he wanted to be more independent. He is the co founder of Gigante Studios.

Im actaully thinking that the whisper is a "Red herring" of sorts.. and only in there as a kind of "easter egg" or something to start rumors. The MK team have included a number of little "references" in past games to start rumors.

Im positive the whisper says "time will lead you to saibot".. but that could be a reference to MK:T coming to GBA or even MK6..

Interesting theory though :)

Did you guys ever stop and think that that 'saying' you're hearing could be connecting it to MK6? 'Time will lead you to Saibot' could mean that he will be in MK6.

I seriously think it means nothing. I doubt it was made to sound like that on purpose, but if Boon did intentially implement that in the game, then it was probably just a nostalgic bonus, like a hundred other things in the game.

If there is anything we've learned from the stage fatality controversy, it is that if people want something bad enough, they'll believe anything that may allow it to appear true.

There is no noob, there is no last secret the game is old (but i still like it) so stop wasting your time because there is nothing more you can discover than just repeat what you have done, fight fight fight.



(and if there was i regret what i said) but i am 95% sure that there is no secret lft in mkda.

Ok, PLEASE.. READ my initial post. Did you see me somewhere say there was a secret? Did you see me somewhere say the whisper is definatly related to it? Did you see me somehwere say the secret was noob? Did you see me say ANYTHING about spending time looking for a 'secret'?

I said i felt the whisper was more likely there for something to start rumors..

So im left wondering why you replied to my post like that?

Yes, I also think it has no specific meaning.. Just something pointless like Reiko's ending just to make ppl talk about it over and over!

even the mention of stage fatalities still makes me wonder, even though i know theres as much stage fatalites as there is a secret character that looks like a giant penceil sharpener.

part of me wish's we still had that same contraversy today. the forums seemed really alive then. i think the last i ever heard of the whole thing was some guy (i dont remember who) said he unlocked noob and would get pics in 5 days cause 'his digital camera broke and needed to get another one' or something along those lines. if i remember correctly he was banned when the countdown reached 2 days. it was bloody annyoing all the people saying they did non exsistant shit but still-i preferd the forums then...not that i dont like em now of corse

i hate how all those scrubs act like they know something and make up b/s codes. Like the "getting a tie in drum arena and fighting the drummer" well that shouldnt be in quotes but the guy who said it still posts once in a while. now i have a hard time believing anything he says.

I think the whisper dosen't really mean anything. I have Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and it has the same voice effect.

Sounds plausible. But if that were the case, then shouldn't it be "saibot will return"?
