Ok, so at the end of the game, ultimacia starts to say some things and right before you kill her she says "and,"
Is there any way of knowing what she was going to say next. Does anyone know, or have any idea of what it might have been. Did i miss some clues or what. If anyone could clear this up for me that would be nice.
Thanks
I don't think she's ever meant to finish what she's saying?
well if thats the case, then im satisfied.
Right - according to the game script at rpgamer, "And. . . " is the last thing she says. Perhaps it is meant to reflect the circular nature of the game, but there's no way to know what she meant to say. I guess you'll just have to be satisfied with that. :)
actually, you can't even kill her until she says "and" i can lionheart her 3 times with max damage and it still won't kill her until she says "and".
Yeah, I think you were supposed to have killed her in the middle of whatever she was saying which "and..." showed.
True Ultimecia is Sorceress Adel in a further past.We are testifying here how Adel borns.But here she is more powerful because she has all of her powerīs (unlike in the boss fight which she has to extract from Rinoa).
...What? Ultimecia isn't Adel in a further past, or the present or future. Ultimecia is from the future. Adel dies in Squall's present. Ultimecia is alive in the far future. They're not the same Person.Quote:

How do we know she was telling the truth?:Quote:

2) It wasn't implied that Ultimecia told Edea she was from the future. The implication was that Edea gleaned it from her mind the same as she gleaned the hate in Ultimecia's heart from her:
3) Deceive them how? That information was never used against them in any way despite them believing Ultimecia to be from the future from the moment she was first made note of.Quote:
Edea
"...I have been possessed all this time."
"I was at the mercy of Sorceress Ultimecia."
"Ultimecia is a sorceress from the future. A sorceress many generations
ahead of our time."
"Ultimecia's objective is to find Ellone."
"She is after Ellone's mysterious power."
"I know Ellone very well."
"Ultimecia is a very fearful sorceress. Her heart is filled with anger and
hate."
4) Ellone sent Ultimecia's consciousness into the far past to cast Time Compression. The party then moved toward Ultimecia's time, which Ultimecia says was on the brink of Time Compression, meaning it hadn't fully passed over all time yet. The fact that she had to go to the far past to cast Time Compression suggests that the Time Compression wave would forward through time. Granted, we don't know the exact method of function for Time Compression, but there's no indication that Ultimecia isn't in the future.
5) Rinoa also gleaned the information that Ultimecia is from the future from Ultimecia's mind while being possessed:
Quote:
Rinoa
"...I should tell you this before I go."
"I was possessed out in space. There was a sorceress inside me."
"Ultimecia, a sorceress from the future. She's trying to achieve time
compression."
There's never a single indication offered that Ultimecia isn't in the future while she's only ever referred to as being so. Unless you have some in-game support for this notion -- which you simply couldn't due to it never being presented by the game -- it's nothing more than an idea you fancy, and not even a theory in reality, as theories require some form of substantiation. Your canonical statement that Adel is Ultimecia is defeated by the canon of the game.
Besides, if Ultimecia were Adel in the past, that leaves the gaping question of "How was Adel alive in the present to rule Esthar, be confined by Laguna and the Adel Resistance, be sent into space, eventually be brought back down to the Planet, and then be killed by SeeD?"
Also, recall that the device Ultimecia used to possess Sorceresses from the past was called "Junction Machine Ellone." This was because it was created to simulate Ellone's power. Her power was the power to send the consciousness of someone she knows in the present into the mind of someone else she knew in the past:
Also, seeing as how Junction Machine Ellone didn't exist in the past (or if it did, it didn't have the power it did during Ultimecia's time; in the game's present Odine states it was only a toy, implying it was something still in need of much refining), how would Adel have had access to it?Quote:
Ellone
"...You want to save her. You don't want to lose Rinoa."
"Squall, I can't. I don't know Rinoa."
"I told you I can only send people I know in the present into people I knew in the past."
Can you imagine your last word being "And"? That would really suck, what a sucky way to go out, - saying "and". I almost feel sorry for her. But not because she's evil and loony
2)I believe she is possessed by Ultimecia yet in the second disc.Better,I believe that she is Ultimecia.
But to answer your question:Ultimecia is using Junction Machine Ellone.So she can use some sort of cassete tape to send its content through junction.Maybe she record a speech in the tape and put it on the machine to send.Maybe the machine receives visual signs from Squallīs era.So it is not implied that she uses it directly on her head.
Concerning your question about Adel.Ultimecia was herself possessed by someone on the future(relative to Squallīs time).So I use the word "Ultimecia" to sustitute the name of this powerful being.The person who uses the cassete tape is not the "Ultimecia" from the game but a more powerful being.And I didnīt said Ultimecia was Adel but True Ultimecia is (Ultimecia Transforms into Adel).
She was possessed by Ultimecia throughout the second disc. It's at the end of it that she is freed. As for being possessed by her on the third, the things she does would be of no help to Ultimecia. Again, the information regarding Ultimecia being from the future was never used against SeeD in any form, nor was it ever implied that Ultimecia wasn't from the future.Quote:

When Ultimecia was defeated in Galbadia Garden, Edea's powers left her and went to Rinoa. That's why Ultimecia was able to possess Rinoa immediately after the battle and why we're later told that Edea had given up her powers without even knowing it:

Zell
"S'up Squall!!!"
"So glad you're safe!"
"I hate to tell you this now, but we've got major problems down here."
"Well, here it goes!"
"Some big thing called Lunatic Pandora came out of nowhere."
"Matron couldn't achieve what she set out to do because of it. Which is ok."
"Matron's not a sorceress anymore."
"Matron gave away her power to someone without realizing it."
Squall
(To Rinoa......)
Ultimecia possessed Rinoa in Galbadia Garden because she inherited Edea's powers. Ultimecia could only possess Sorceresses. Were that not the case, Odine wouldn't have said "Sorceress Ultimecia comes from ze future to possess ze sorceress of present day" and she wouldn't have needed to possess other Sorceresses to get to Ellone in the first place and would have just possessed Ellone herself.
Ultimecia could not have possessed Edea at that point.
Based on what? If it's any of the things you've presented so far, then take into account how I'm refuting them all with in-game (canon) facts.Quote:

Support this with in-game information. It's never implied by the game, though, so that will be impossible.Quote:

A complete mystery. Various states of "present" are believed to become compressed. Sorceress' power from many generations may cross over to give 1 sorceress great strength. No one knows what effect this may have on regular human beings.
(The description given when using Scan on Ultimecia when fighting her first form.)
(What Ultimecia says before the battle with her begins.)Quote:
A sorceress trying to change the world by compressing time and taking power from all sorceresses.

"Your vain krusade ends here, SeeDs."
"The price for your meddling is death beyond death."
"I shall send you to a dimension beyond your imagining."
"There, I will reign, and you will be my slaves for eternity.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
(The information given when using Scan on Ultimecia's final form.)
The game couldn't have made it much more obvious that Ultimecia's goal was to essentially become God by acquiring the power of all the Sorceresses in history, then using it to change time and the world itself to suit her. She transformed into that more powerful form because she had gained the power she sought and was then absorbing all existance to become God. It had absolutely nothing to do with Adel.Quote:
Ultimecia, transformed to absorb all time and space. Absorbing
all existence as we speak.
By the way, you completely ignored my points concerning Ellone's power only working in such a way as for her to send the consciousness of someone she knew in the present to someone she had known in the past, as well as my point that if Adel were killed in the past, she wouldn't have been around in the game's present.
At this point, I'm not so sure that I'll bother responding again if you can't offer some actual in-game support for your argument, as it's insulting to myself and anyone that you would try to carry a debate with to argue something with no support from the source material in question.
But I know that Ultimecia wanna to take power from all the sorceresses on the past.4 sorceresses (including herself) and 4 Knights.But that gives origin to Adel.
Junction refers to telepatic waves.But it can exist without the mind.Probably the wavelenght stays outside of the limited spectrum we detect on our world but it is a regular photonic wave.Itīs not something mystical.If X (codename of the person who possess Ultimecia) record her/his thoughts on a tape and sends it, X will only record simulated thoughts (thoughts that we create intentionaly).The natural thoughts will not be received by Edea.And you are wrong,Ultimecia uses Edea to convince Squall to go to Space,to tell Odine Edea was possessed (one day you will understand why by yourself.Itīs a little obvious) and to prevent Zell from entering (deeply) the Pandora .By the way,she can this way deceive Seed on many forms.
I have already debated the issue of Edea being Ultimecia on another thread.
And some people donīt get insulted by my theories so there is no reason to post them (donīt read if you donīt wanna).
1) Squall going into space in no way helped Ultimecia. Ultimecia was using Rinoa to free Adel, Squall very easily could have stopped her if he tried (he didn't because it was Rinoa, but Squall has defeated a sorceress before). And Squall being in space only served to rescue Rinoa so that she could live to fight Ultimecia. Had Rinoa died, it wouldn't have mattered to Ultimecia after she performed time compression, she would have received her power anyways.Quote:

3) I was under the impression that the Mobile Type 8 stopped Zell's pursuit into the Lunatic Pandora, which I imagine was put there by Seifer, knowing that his Balamb Garden friends would probably come and try to stop him.
Edea was weak after her fight with the SeeDs, and nothing that Edea did during disc 3 in any way would have aided Ultimecia, so I can't see how she was possibly still possessed. Not to mention, if she was still possessed I don't think she would have given the scoop about her master plan to Squall and company.
