Or maybe.... just maybe... Ultimecia? :P (sorry, I'm making fun :D )

Clearly, it is Squall's mother Ultimecia, trapped in time due to Time Compression. This obviously proves I, Future Esthar's theory, that in FFVIII, that Zell and Seifer had an illegitimate offspring; Rinoa, who, in turn, had buttsecks with Selphie, thus having the baby, NORG. NORG then morphed into a Wendigo, which, after getting hit with a magical attack, lands on his back and shots pulse ammo out of its mouth. One day after getting hit with Ultima by Quistis he shot out a pulse ammo, which missed, and hit into the lake, and the chemicals morphed into Ultimecia after thousands of years. Naturally explaining that R=U. Any questions?

Serapy
01-29-2008, 11:11 PM
It's a form of NORG...

EXACTLY
But I only realized this a few days ago.

near entrance

Head fossil(where you jump)-Gargantuaīs head
Fossil closer to entrance-Catoplebas(you can see his leg just before you reach Gargantuaīs head).

Middle place

Rightmost fossil-Tiamat(note the similar wing shape)

Middle big fossil-Trauma(this is the most obvious)

Dinosaur at distance-Tripoint(dinossaur fossil could also be dragon fossil)

where you fought Abadon

Big horny monster-Red Giant(note the similarity of itīs head with the head at the prison wall in the castle )

I believe the dinossaur head at the right of Red Giant itīs not a head but one of Red Giantīs hands.

There is a dinossaur left here near the entrance of the place but itīs hard to see it because we can only see its side.
By logic I say itīs Sphynx

Pointless corny area

Fossil at the corner-Krysta

Krystaīs hands look like dinossaur heads.Krystaīs head is easy to identify because itīs similar to the real one.
Krystalīs big "tail" is also easily identified because itīs big.

Squall and the party members killed those bosses in the castle (past)

The bosses return to the bones state. They lay down on the ground for a while = Fossils.

When Time Compression started again, some positions of things from the past have been moved to different positions. In this case, the position of the bones have been moved to the place of Esthar.

Events get mixed up during TC too.

Future Esthar
01-30-2008, 01:43 AM
Very close,Serapy.
The bones were laid down by a flood which happened in Ultiīs time.

I'm pretty sure that I have told you why again and again. *sigh* It would be boring not to talk about FF8. In some sense, making theories is another good way to stay more active, talking about FF8, otherwise the forum of FF8 would be less active. Honestly, I don't know how to make you understand that. If you don't like the idea of making theories or you getting annoyed by them... then ignore and don't bother posting -__-;;

There are not just us who are making theories, there are actually other people who are creative of making theories. Some of millions of people who have bought FF8 from the release date, to today, are still playing/analyzing FF8.

Future Esther, I am interested in your point about the skeletons - when I get chance I will study them, however I am currently playing FFVII, but I'll let the forum know my opinions when I can.

To the others: I realize a lot of you don't fully "get" futures theories, but this particular one (if it is a theory) is extremly easy to understand, and this isn't just me ranting as usual (trying to stop, it's one of my revolutions), it's litarally just looking at something.

Also, was I the only one who knew from the start that Serapy was NOT Future Esther?

Oh, so it's okay for you to bash people with meaningless (or pointless) comments such as "lulz my brain hurts, stop making up theories, you would be a nice guy if you didn't make up theories". Those comments wouldn't be pointless only if you have posted better information such as information that could disprove our theories. But no, you haven't done that, and you have been posting like that for a while as you did in other threads. I wasn't trying to be involved, but you got on my nerves eventually.

Yes, it's a forum with a variety of rules, which means, I think, that pointless comments are considered as spam.

I'm going to slightly agree here.

It's perfectly alright to do theories, really I find them very interesting, I have done some my self (not as detailed as others) and I have seen many from other people, some I agree with, some I do not. However, I try to be as polite as I can to the person who made them, so basically (and this is aimed at the so called "bashers") It's ok to put things like.


That sounds interesting, but there are parts I don't fully understand a few parts *Insert list here*

Or


Good therory, however I'm afraid I interpreted things differently, and a few things don't add up and sadly disprove your theory. Alow me to explain *insert explaination here*

Notice, how that example may have dissagreed with the theory, but didn't insult, offend, or "bash" in anyway (at least not intentionally).


However, it is NOT desirable to send replies like this:


D'u'd! Wot was taht?! I dint undastand a d@mn word!

or


Mannnn that was wierd, just make my head hurt!! Don't do that!!

Or the ever poular;


Hey!! That's a whole 45 secconds of my life waisted - GIVE THEM BACK!!

These replies, are pointless, not funny, and sometimes offensive to the people who wright the theories. It is ok to debate the theories as that is "freedom of speach" in my view, but the rest, probably does fall under a spam catagory.

Anyway, that is my view on the matter.

NeoCracker

Future Esthar

Didnīt you finish the game?

A few of these monsters donīt look alike the ones in the castle but I find they identities using extra logic.
The similar ones are Gargantuaīs head,Tiamat(with little differences),Trauma and Krysta.But since these ones are here I think the others are here aswell.

Tri-point was created from a dragon meaning his skeleton his similar to a dinossaur.
Red Giant head resemble the head at the prison of the castle.
Catoplebas is a reptilian (similar to a lizard).It is not a primate like Red Giant and it is very different from Sphynx.
Therefore Sphynx will be the one that remains.

i thought the castle itself was a very weak part anyway

but ill take your word for the monsters

Half of those skeletons don't really resemble the bosses at all.

There is also the possibility that only some of the monsters of UC are here.And the rest are only regular monsters.But I donīt realy believe it.

Hey, some of them do look pretty similar (though you have to observe on it a bit). Thanks for showing us.

I wonder if this was done on purpose? And if so, what for?

The Last Oath
01-31-2008, 02:08 PM
If there is an equal number of skeletons to the same amount of monsters in the castle, meaning that there is not ONE extra or less skeleton to leave out a boss then your probably right.

Sphinxara is the true form of Sphinx and he dies this way.But no one knows if this was also a mask put by a giant head.If you take a look at the external line you will see that it looks like the head in GSL.
In GSL we can see the shoulder horn of Red Giant.What we have here is a sideview.I also showed the boss in the same sideview.
The ???? means that I canīt figure that.I canīt meet Last Oath requirements.
Looking at Catoblepas circular head and crest I made my decision.
Now why I assigned Tri-point to that fossil?
Because it has two visible backbones, one with the head (oval) and the other crossing through it.This one most probably was covered by the upper "points" of Tripoint.The lower "point" is under the skeleton.

I have my own therories about Tiamat; notice how the scan says he "Used to be a GF"? Take a look at him, I make another post if need be as this parts of topic.

Bahamut2000X
01-31-2008, 08:20 PM
I don't see the resemblance. Most if not everything that's fossilized seems to be a dinosaur/dragon in anatomy. Some of the bosses are related like that, but a lot aren't.

Bolivar
01-31-2008, 11:20 PM
This is awesome. Some I'm not so sure about, seem to be on the right track though. Keep up the good threads.

Actually, I wanna revival of old theories, i wasn't around for the world map one. Also, I heard something from BG-57 about the "Garden of Eden" theory... this forum's boring, let's hear it! Haters don't read!

BG-57
02-01-2008, 12:34 AM
You want to discuss that theory in this thread? Simply put I believe that the GF Eden is an organic version of a Garden. Which would tie in with the mythological 'Garden of Eden'. Here's (http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fantasy-viii/96576-what-eden.html) a thread that includes it.

The Map thread was basically that the world map could be subdivided into sections as defined by the gridlines in the Esthar test pattern on the cameoflage plates. These boundary lines were artificially constructed, but FE's theory hinged on using topology to twist and bend the lines from perfectly straight, which defeated the point. EDIT: See Akaria's post below for a link.

Below is an early representation of the gridlines I did.

I don't see the resemblance for most of the fossils. The one labeled Tri-Point looks more like a T-Rexaur than anything else.

Akaria

By restating it, I think it's good for just an overview of it all..."Beautifull (http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fantasy-viii/67375-beautifull.html)" is the theory I followed a few summers ago If you're interested in some of FE's theories, the best way is probably to look at the threads that he's started. Lotta debating in them, and a lot of them have been locked, but it's still interesting.:D

When TC is starting, the bubbles that have images of characters and things. TC is absorbing them = absorbing process.

After/during intervals of the absorbing process, the images then started deforming because time is changing. This could be a big impact on dead bodies such as those bosses from the castle.

So, after TC. The positions of the bosses are now on the place of Esthar and some of the bones are very deformed, nothing is perfect.

Yeah, there reallly is no theory here people. At least not anything story relevent.

AFter/Before you fight the boss's, their future skeletons are seen. Or at least skeletons resembling them.

If anything, this is just a fun little easter egg in the game, nothing more. But I will admit it is kinda cool.

Also, I believe it is "Gizamaluke".

Wrong.
As I had already told you people that the world of FF8 is a "Time Compressed" world.

Because since they are skeletons, it's hard telling what they really looked like in their live form, just as scientists today are not 100% sure how dinosaurs really looked by their skeletons. Because of this, they very well could be the monsters you speak of, killed in another time. It makes sense to me, at least.

Think about how the positions of things have changed from place to place, that's because Ulti used TC again on the compressed world, because she was angry.

This is another reason how some people (squall / his party) have forgotten thier memories, including GFs. That was part of Ulti's plan. On the school panel, it says wearing a GF has a side effect which will make you forget something, that's a lie. Proof? The gardens have lied, because they wanted to protect themselves.

I think resemblance seems to differ depending on once POV and how they choose to look at it, so to speak. FE sees a resemblance in them all, I only see it in some of them, while you don't see any of it, it doesn't mean any of us a wrong (unless proven otherwise) we're just looking at it from different angles. It's very similar to how there are still R=U suporters who to this day, state that Rinoa and Ultimecia look the same, but I my self don't think they do at all.

And at the art gallery there is a painting of Julia named "xerampelinae"
It shows a queen like Ulti clothed in red like Ulti.

That makes sense the way you've put it, but I'll check myself when I can.

I'm just glad for alternatives too the R=U stuff.

So this is "J=U"?.
