Wonder how people didnīt notice this.
People refer the place Squall was in the end of the game as a "desert".
To me it looks like a dry plain.There is no sand.So it couldnīt be Dingo nor Kashkabald.
To me it looks like the Esthar soil.Wonder how people didnīt noticed it before.
I always see it as Esthar soil (or at least Mordred plains soil).
It canīt be Galbadia nor Winhill,nor Centra,nor Trabia,nor Balamb nor Grandidi.
Rinoa was in Centra (flower field ) and Squall walks on Esthar/Mordred like soil.
In the beggining of the game I am sure it was Esthar soil only.
Ao much bickering - so little productivity.. its like fast food all over agian -_-
Well Furutre - i think you are making great progress here. It is a great theory and one that should be explored. I see you are taking a ton of heat and people may be disproving some things but then you try to like it back into the theory. That is awsome work imo. Sure it is just a theory, but imo ripping apart the game and every little detail only makes it greater.
I commend you on a job well done - granted it was hard to take in with all the rude posts and such, but you nearly kept your cool and got it all out. I would persoanlly like to hear of this X person (forgive me if you did reveail it).
I am glad to see that this Final Fantasy actually made us think more.
I do have to admit that the theory does have merit, and you have nearly sold me on it as being a plausable theory.
Before i get heat for saying that, let me jsut remind you that small minute details in a game, often say more than naming and enemy Bad Guy. These details are part of what brings the game to life and make us think. Final Fantasy VIII was very enjoyable and i think it left a lot more room for the imagination than did other final fantasies.
I do stick merit into the fact that the girls may have been sorceresses. Its not like square to make a huge deal over the heros all being friends when they grew up. That is just lazy and very sitcom - not final fantasy. There had to me a lot more to it than that.
Keep up the good work! And thanks to all posters for letting me observe your behaviors! so i know what to expect from whom ;)
Bipper GOES!
yes virgina, the pixels are very purdy tonight

When has the graphics been worked into the story? The graphics are nice and pretty, but they've never contributed to the script.
Oh ok, so I may have been vague on that. When the company tells you that character a and b are in "love" but wont admit it - would it be as cool for the main character just to say " Wow.. they are in love but the will not admit it! HA HA!". Nope - you graphically represent it in different ways. (Hell remember the question mark bubbles, and such from 6?) In that way the graphics do contribute to the script as we interpet it.
AND
Prehapse whole all of the areas were being built, they decided that Esthar should be located in a barrent type area instead of a jungle or w/e.
AND
When square may want to hint at somthing they can use graphical symbolism and just hope that someone might catch on - then get ripped appart on the boards! See square really like laughing at people like future Esthar because he is not affraid to dig - but he will get blasted for it!? The irony of it all.
And yes the online graphics did push the envalope. Over pixeled - entirely correct but you are not seeing over pixulated images - that is why i said this :

The planning on color usage with the lighting effects seemd a little dreary and distracting
What you are seeing is the result of shaders and filters being processed to the sprite image. This is what made it so graphically appealing. The sprite was so Dynamic and could fit into any enviroment. sure final fantasy IX was remastered and better, but hey- it takes a few tries to get "Hello world!" To look good sometimes. (programming joke - he he snort snort)
In the dymanticity of sprites and everything but the world map - ffVIII was very suppirior to anything before its time... sept mabey donkey kong - you just cant beat the king -_-
Bipper GOeS
Someone needs a time out....
Wow - yet more pointless rebuttles -
If you want to attack what i am saying then attack what i said. I am simply saying that we need to have an open mind - and TO ME it makes sence.
If that seriously is your theory then grats - i dont buy it and it shouldn't really matter /shrug
Basically we can agree on one thing - the game leads as to assume a few details here and there. When you open up asumptions you open up theries.

"Hello, my name is Mary."
"No, your name is obviously Hlymsr, because that's what you get when you put every third letter of that sentance into one word! Wonder how people didn`t notice this!"
"What the...? I just said my name is Mary."
"Well, you are obviously hiding something!"
This is the kinda crap I was writing about earlier - completely baseless to the forum. Future Esthar has prdouced a few shreds of evidence and tryed to work it all together. Acting like a 5 year old is not getting this anywhere.

Oh, and by the way, the question mark bubbles in FFVI were actions by the characters, not mere graphical details. Graphical details are how someone/thing looks, not what they do and how they act.
Yes, if a character blushes it is and action... if the character blushes it may even point out traits that they are shy, embaraced, or mabey some one in the room let one fly and it stinks ... every action and detail can be explained in different ways. Who cares if they are "Out there"
seeing this :confused: in a post makes you see someone is confused... you see to many :confused: :confused: :confused: then you begin to know that the person just might not get it.. you see a final fantasy char do that alot in VI - then you know they are an idiot.
You know this may be the true story or not - who knows - at least he is looking and producing instead of pointing and laughing...
By the way - the satire of you avatar aside - I think it is very suiting Xaven :)
Also no the graphix are not for looks and appeal .. .well they are.. but the are alot more multipurpose than other posts around here...
-------
Mr. Liamo - I do agree with you that some things said here do neglect tha base storyline. Who really knows - but you can be looking too deep and forget about some bases no dobut. However, looking to deep should not matter - instead of ripping someone arpart, bring it up and mabey they can work with it or mabey it will disprove them.'
I think Unknowns has been fair at doing this till later in the tread, but most other's i have seen post just to... post i think /shrug.
Bipper gOEs!
