Rinoa is Ultemicia

[Goldenboko]

Actually if you really wanna get into fanboyism, Final Fantasy was named as such because at the time Square was going out of business and they assumed it would be their last project, thus they named it "Final Fantasy" as in "Our Final Fantasy". That still doesn't mean there isn't a direct storyline. Fantasy is also a genre of writing which has a storyline, but exists in a realm that it is impossible for the actions to have occurred in real life (thus making it different from fiction and needing its on genre). It doesn't mean, here's some stuff, now twist the storyline however you please.

Exactly. Fantasy = incomparable to real life = leads to many things, especially when it comes to time travel. FF8 just made it more mysterious than the other FF games.

No your missing the point. Fantasy's have storylines. Storylines must be followed, and your disregarding it.

As for the that second part, that is pure speculation and is never even hinted.

Squall and his party have travelled across generations (alot of years ahead of the present time) to fight Ultimecia. This is one of the future events.

Years years years ago, the Great Hyne was born and then created Sorceresses. This is one of the past events.

Statistically (based on years and sorceresses), chances of TC happening for the first time (the one we saw from the game) are quite slim.

Time Compression has never happened in the game. People can't live in a fully time compressed world. The game states it. Ultimecia tried to, but could only do it with Ellone (the game never states there is another Ellone in the past so saying there is one would be a whole new theory, theories can't exist of other theories), since no sorceress had ever had Ellone no Sorceress could even attempt Time Compression.

Again start using dialogue from the actual storyline, not theories upon thoeries.
