Not necessarily. Unless Ultimecia and/or SeeD killed all the other sorceresses of her time, her death doesn't mean there won't be any more sorceresses after her death.Quote:

FFVIII is my second favorite Final Fantasy, but I always avoid the forums because the TC discussions makes me think of time loops, which give me a headache.
Time loops are the best. They're almost like drugs.
exactly ,and it's initially sperm, not egg, egg is after:DQuote:

And the UOG already proved that Rinoa isn't Ultimecia.
Whats a UOG?
UOG = Ultimania Omega Guide. A book created by SE that explain some things about the story, that weren't explained in the game. Each FF have a UOG.Quote:

Could only find the FFVII translated version of the guide.
I'd rather not live through this nightmare again.Quote:

Um, yeah she is. All the SeeDs were dead in her time and she already ruled the world in the future. If she had never gone back to the past, Squall and the gang would never have found out about her and she could have still ruled the future and not have been killed.Quote:

First of all, I have this to say. Lol, some story. The whole story of FF8 was really focused on Squall and Rinoa and very little of anyone else. And the Orphanage revelation, Lol. But the story isn't what I'm trying to debate about.Quote:

Alright, as for Ulti, you never even found out that she was trying to compress time until near the end of Disc 3. I don't even understand how destroying SeeD and compressing time were even related. Also, what was the point of her plan of starting a sorceress war?
And lets see, you know almost nothing about her backstory or why she turned out the way she did unlike other villains. Also, she says almost nothing really good or special. When she was in Edea's body, she said how she hated and wanted to destroy SeeD. And when you meet her in the future, she said said something along the lines of "Stupid SeeDs, I hate you. Now I will compress time and destroy you." Later in the battle in her final form, she says more of "I will compress time and rule the universe," and some more crap as she's dying to throw off Squall and the gang. Killing SeeD and compressing time are all she really talked about; Yawn.
Also, she really didn't have any significance at all except for being some sorceress from the future. Kefka was the right hand man of Gestahl, who is the leader of the Imperial army. The Imperial army had also been doing experiments with Magic/Magitek (which is what one of the main focuses of VI was), which was very related to Terra, who was arguably the main character. Kefka was also fused with Magic/Magitek as well. Sephiroth and Cloud were part of Shinra and had met before in the past, and we find out the backstory between them both. Kuja was created by Garland, like Zidane, and they were "brothers". These villains all had more purpose and meaning to them and more than just being a villain of a game.
And Crystal, if it will make you happy, I'll change my statement to "I don't like Ultimecia" rather than "Ultimecia is a bad villain."
Imagine that you were Squall and Co. who have just come back from the future. What are you going to do? You're going to tell the leading people who will actually believe you: Odine, Laguna, maybe even Edea. So they publish books on the subject (you just know that Odine would publish one). So everybody knows that in the future, SeeD's from 'now' will travel to the future, and destroy some sorceress called Ultimecia.Quote:

But Squall and Co. use the compressed time, and well, you know what happens.
When was all of this information said in FF8? I never remembered anything that said Ultimecia being some person who was hated in the future because she was a sorceress.Quote:

Perhaps you don't remember this from the game because you know... it wasn't in the game.Quote:

That's not true. She had to go to the past to get Ellone, so she could compress time and rule the world. If she doesn't do that, then she doesn't rule everything, just her own era. Rulling her own era wasn't enough for her. Defeating Squall was just another little errand she had to run while possessing Edea.Quote:
Um, yeah she is. All the SeeDs were dead in her time and she already ruled the world in the future. If she had never gone back to the past, Squall and the gang would never have found out about her and she could have still ruled the future and not have been killed.
And that's all I'm going to say here.
