Look as this two pictures as what you can see sorceress edea is still young...does this mean that this will also happen to rinoa?

Look edea is young and Cid is eeer, kinda old then does this means that every sorceress have a much longer life span than other people then if thats true will squall die sooner than rinoa and what will happen to rinoa?
I think this also happened to ultimecia maybe that's why she's so mad about something...maybe loneliness about his gone love?

[G SpOtZ]

ummm.... time didn't pass that much... and edea looks younger because of the different make up and style that changed.

cid doesn't look older i don't think. nobody in that video looks older because it doesn't take place that long after the battle. it's just that her style changed.

[enigma1234]

But didnt edea took care of squall,irvine,zell,quistis,selphie and seifer when they were just young? (I think age of 4) and it has been 13years since that event (As what I have remembered squall is now age of 17) doesn't people's appearance change in a few years?

[G SpOtZ]

yes, you have a really good point there. maybe she does look old but we just can't get as a good of a look, because they only show that for a little bit, and you can't see her closely enough to tell that she's aged, you know? i don't know, you could be right. either way would make sense to me, because sorceresses are magical and it wouldn't be surprising if she didn't age when she was a sorceress. but i'm sure after she's given her powers, she'll return to a normal aging pattern.


look at Adel. she still looks like a he. and a clown. a he-clown. and still buff and everything. and she had her powers, but they were just sealed. so you could be right.

[TheAbominatrix]

She looks to be in her early 30's, which is perfectly acceptable in the timeline.

Sorceresses do age, it's been officially confirmed that they do so, so she has aged.

[zbonks]

She looks older in her sorceress outfit, when her style changed she looked younger. Maybe we should compare what she looked like in her sorceress outfit to cid. Cid doesnt look that old.

[TheAbominatrix]

The age given by the sorceress outfit is thanks to all the make up and the sour expression on her face, I think. When her face is cleared of that and she's smiling, it takes years off. A nice move I think, as it's very realistic.

[Roogle]

It looks like her change in outfit and style revealed the beauty beneath. She no longer bears the burden that a sorceress must endure, so her outlook on everything must be very uplifting after everything is said and done.

[enigma1234]

Yes she is beautiful kinda look like rinoa right? (only side view) :)

[rubah]

I wonder if her fingers are still clawlike. and if her pupils are still spades.

[Rinoa_Heartillly]

They never said that they aged or not, but if only they had a close up of her....she whould probably have some wrinkles. XD

[TheAbominatrix]

The Ultimania guide says dont age, and that's the official word.

[Skyblade]

The Ultimania guide says dont age, and that's the official word.

Actually, according to the Ultimania guide, they do age, and they don't live any longer than normal people.

Perhaps you meant "they don't age abnormally"?

[TheAbominatrix]

Er, yeah that's what I meant. Damn typos. Danke.

[Skyblade]

Bitte.

[darkmischief]

this is moving closer and closer to the R=U theory..which i strongly believe in becuase there is more evidence in supporting the theory then the ultimania guide saying its not cuz its not...(btw...where is the ultimania guide? ive never seen it)

[Future Esthar]

Squaresoft will probably only say on Ultimania what would be the common knowledge of the FF8 population.
(Note that I am being neutral to theories here).

The Ultimania guides are only available in Japan. The information contained inside is official.

This isnt moving closer and closer to R=U because it destroys the vital connector. Ultimecia is said to be in the far distant future. Rinoa cannot be Ultimecia because she cannot live that long. All the other supporting 'evidence' cant take away the fact that it's impossible given the time differences.

VSS (very silly statement) I'm afraid.

No they won't. They will say what they intended to be the truth when they created the game. The Ultimania Plot information is the creators of the game sitting down and explaining, by themselves, relevant plot terms/issues in the game. That's it. It's not common knowledge in FF8 how magic works, or what's the deal with sorceresses and their successors, yet that doesn't stop them from explaining it.

The Ultimania guide is meant to clarify, not simply add more issues to be discussed.

So The Abominatrix got it right. If the Ultimania says a sorceress has human lifespan, a sorceress really does have sorceress lifespan, and Rinoa cannot be Ultimecia. QED.

[Future Esthar]

I never believed on R=U anyway.

[UnlimitedBlueSky]

Hmmmmm.....
Yup. Edea looks younger because of the style change... Must've been hard to use hands with those claw thingies... Didn't her style look similar to the ones before and now after...? In other words, maybe when she was possessed, Ultimecia didn't like how Edea looked, so she went and got all those fancy dresses and stuff.

I don't know about the R=U theory. I don't exactly think about it too much.

[Yuffie514]

ever heard of cosmetics? i'm sure the technology exists hence the fact that gardens possess aerial abilities. we don't have moving buildings yet...

[G SpOtZ]

well yeah you can definitely question the technology in the game, but if you think more about it, why aren't some cities as big as they should be, with the kind of technology they have? i mean of course you'll always run into small towns like winhill, but i would think balamb, timer, dollet and other places would be much more bigger, probably just a lil bit smaller than esthar.

[enigma1234]

I think the reason why their technology is highly advance is because of magic especially the esthar technology...thier technology is combined
with magic+knowledge...while ours is combined with inspiration+art+knowledge...I think.

(Magic + Technology + Knowledge + Art + Inspiration = ?)
