R=U correction

[Vost]

From the FAQ post in this section:
New information:
The FFVIII Ultimania guidebook is an official publication containing detailed background information on Final Fantasy VIII. According to this guide, the sorceresses in FFVIII have normal human lifespans. As Ultimecia lives "many generations in the future", it is highly unlikely (since this is a game that involves magic, after all) that she and Rinoa are the same individual.
So much for that theory
Heartfelt thanks to Squall of SeeD for posting information from the Ultimania guide and putting an end to the most annoying debate in Final Fantasy history.

The 'highly unlikely' part of the above quote is inaccurate; the inclusion of time manipulation as a central component of Final Fantasy VIII's plot substantially weakens any attempt to invalidate the R=U argument based on claims that sorceresses have normal human lifespans. Hence, a more accurate presentation is 'it remains unconfirmed' instead of 'it is highly unlikely.'

In addition, the R=U theory has greater support for its positive resolution than its negative resolution, but unless anyone wants to start that argument with me (with the 100+ page posts and diagrams that I rather enjoy), I will leave it at that.
