Am I the first one who find strange that Ward says "Woo,not again" when he hears the "fairy" sounds?
He was on Timber forest when that happens and as far as I know there are no dreams from before that.
So who did Ellone sent to their head before?

Ward says "Woo, not again," because Laguna has gotten them lost. Again.Quote:

Yes it is. Kiros says "Laguna are you sure this is the right way?" then you change to the next screen and as you're walking Ward says "Hoo, boy not again" referring to them being lost! It's done this way to keep the pacing up because the player has no idea what's going on.
You speak as if VIII is not ambiguous, and that it's 100% clear. Well, sorry, but it's a fact that VIII is ambiguous, and therefore, it's wrong of you to wrong others just because they have different point of views.Quote:

It's set up in a direct sequence that shows this is the most obvious meaning behind the dialogue.
Don't worry, apparently even the most straight-forward and unambiguous dialogue has some deeper, unseen meaning that we can't see ;) Some of these theories are interesting, I will admit, but there is no space to manoeuvre in this one.Quote:

What I said happened either on the first screen or the second,I am positive about this.
It seems fairly straightforward.Quote:

Thanks Champagne.
There is no evidence Ward was referring to them being lost.
There is also no evidence to the contrary.
But Ward says that RIGHT AFTER Seed thinks so my theory is the most plausible.
Not really. Since this was the first time they had experienced it, and there is no evidence to suggest they had gone through it before, it fits better with the fact that Laguna had gotten them lost.Quote:

Evidence,please.Quote:

And when they meet Laguna in Esthar, he talks about the times that Squall and company were junctioned (or whatever its technical term) is to them. He said they thought it was 'the faeries', as they gave them extra power in battle. This implies that they could not feel or hear the thoughts of the SeeDs, i.e the relationship was uni-directional. So, whether the SeeDs were thinking or whether they were not thinking, the trio of Laguna, Kiros & Ward would remain oblivious, just knowing that the junction had occurred because they were now more powerful.Quote:

It's fair enough that Laguna mentions 'the faeries' after the dream world had been experienced before in game, but this was the first dream they had gone though, no previous dream is mentioned.
Oh, I'm not agreeing with this theory. My point is that when Laguna talks about his experience when Squall & Co were there, he doesn't indicate that they could hear the thoughts.Quote:

So you are saying that Laguna Summoned a Gf in front of the hotel bar woman on Deling City?
Or in front of Raine while talking with Kiros?
I donīt think so.:):):):)
But when the group's conciousness is transfered back in time Laguna and Co become stronger because of the GF's. If this is so, why would Ward say "not again". If it had happened before, wouldnt he be pleased that they got a sudden power boost?
However getting lost isnt a pleasant experience, so Ward refering to them being lost again is the more likely explanation.
They complain about the buzz on their heads.They canīt understand what itīs saying but they perceive it.
The real mystery of the dreamworld is how items Laguna buys winds up in Squall's inventory.
When have they ever complained or expressed any discomfort due to Squall and co being there? Sure theyve commented on it but never negativelyQuote:

Coincidence. Pure & Utter Coincidence.
Though I do have one thing to ponder.. almost supporting Future Esthars theory :S
In Winhill, while at the bar when Laguna is asking Kiros questions, you get to pick the questions Laguna asks. One of them is a thought of Squalls along the lines of "Where am I?" Picking this, thus gives an explanation of where he is. So there!
Not saying I agree or disagree though... If I recall correctly, Laguna says it just game them power in battle.
The White SeeD Ship part happens after the flashback of the orphanage when they all recall thier memoriesQuote:

Proof: Acknowledge that the minds of Squall and his party are active inside the minds of Laguna and his party. Right, so when Laguna or one of his members dies, the Squall and his party won't be physically affected.
I think when Ultimecia casted her time compression; causing everything to be compressed (mixed?). I mean, if you physically mix two things, you get some increased power, right? Maybe that has something to do with the fairy thing.
I've always been careful to distinguish between artifacts that exist purely for the player's benefit and ones that internally contribute to the story. For example, few would question why monsters and allies have floating numbers appear over their heads when they take damage or get healed: it provides practical information for the player. The characters do not seem to notice, which is fine since it serves an external purpose not and internal one.
My guess as to the inventory thing is in case the player found themselves low on potions and the like and can't proceed through the dreamworld without restoking. So it's not really related to the plot. What makes it jarring is that although Ellone's power can transmit consciousness and GFs (which could both exist as energy) through time, material objects are a whole other ball of wax.
So the inventory is really an external issue and the transmission of consciousness is internal. But it would have been funny if Squall wondered out loud how those potions Laguna bought wound up in his pocket. :)
I really hope Serapy and Future Esthar never play Metal Gear Solid, or they'll have all sorts of crazy theories after the Psycho Mantis fight. :spin:
I already played.
And I have theories indeed.
Mainly about Big Boss.
He appears in the game on disguise and I know who he is.
He has two disguises.
To that I only have a single thing to say: "Metal Gear."
I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing you just did Boko!
I donīt wanna to discuss this here but he is Revolver Ocelot,the only survivor.
After he escapes he phones you pretending to be the Minister of Defense.
Didnīt play that but can you prove he is dead?Quote:

Tell me exactly how he die please.
I donīt wanna go offtopic though.
Itīs Ellone,Ultiīs daughter.Quote:
The fairy princess in the final battle for example.
Her mother get possessed spreading chaos and terror.
The White Seed looked at the painting "In the Garden Sleeps a Messenger" made by Ellone.
She saw that on her visions.
They recognized the place on the painting and knew they had to take Ellone there to save her from Ulti.
But Ulti attaches her castle on their ship preventing them from leaving.
She "kills" them.But Ellone make them sleep and Ulti thinks they are dead.
One of Ultimeciaīs lovers manage to save Ellone from Ulti knowing also that her dead has disappeared.
That lover is one of the watchers of the castle.He and his two pals take Ellone to a flower field far away(image on painting).
She wanna go there.
When Ultimecia knows about Elloneīs wereabouts she gets desperate because she knows Elle is using her ability there.
She then creates an holographic wall(Lunatic Pandora) around her castle to deceive Squall and Company into thinking she is going to compress time.
Meanwhile a true "time compressed" world is created.
I believe Ellone uses her ability during the battle with Ulti which generates the appearance of a good fairy.
Ellone was seen in Winhill when she was like 5. So how could she do anything before that, especially in the future:roll2! She was an infant!Quote:

It all depends on your interpretation.Quote:
