    What`s relevant is that Galbadia was involved in Ultimecia`s plan, and the fact that Ultimecia lacks information about herself from the game. If the game has had more information about her, I would of not have posted this thread.
    Please note, everytime you come out with one of your theories it ends up going back and forth mostly between you and me and everyone else loses interest FAST maybe I'm too nice to just say "serapy, you're full of it" and walk away like some do or maybe I'm just a sucker who is starting to worry about you because your theories are insane and if you put the effort and energy in to your life as you do these theories it'd make your life a whole lot better off. I won't call it either way, but your theories as you call them about FF8 turn lots of people away from discussing things with you.
    If you lose interest in me too fast, then that`s fine, just don`t bother posting.

    You know, I'm not even going to give this proper response other than to say you're arguing with Sun Tzu a man whose masterpiece has stayed revelant for over 1000 years of combat and claim you know better about military combat than every officier, general or warlord who has followed this up to and including the united states army. No matter the technological advancements the art of war has remained a very relevant. Perhaps more so today then in the past where engagements were fought between thousands in 1 location and today where we sometimes have a platoon or squad against an entire enemy position. LOL!
    In speaking of which, I don`t recall claiming that I know better. All I know is that certain people have had used different strategies that led them to success. I did say "A split of defense and offense is always good" but that`s my opinion. Where did I get it from? From World of Warcraft, which is a video game. Using the defense/offense strategy in a battleground always heightens the chance of winning the whole battle.

    In correct english you do not have to state Gabaldian Defense Forces every time you refer to them, if Japan's military is/was out in a warzone working with the united states they would be refered to as Japanese forces...G.D.F however is a 3 word initial and you cannot argue this it's a fact of the english language therefore Gabaldian.Defense.Forces makes the most sense it could be Gabaldian Diabolical Forces but I figure it's defense you know just because well Diabolical in there would be rather stupid an army wouldn't refer to itself as crap.
    Then explain why did Xu mention G-Army in the game? Unless, of course, it could be a translation error, however, what comes out of the game still remain evidenced.

    Oh this is actually what the topic of this is, you had me convinced that it was musing over why Gabaldia chose to show off their banner all the time because enough said thats what the first post looks like and it's not like there was any text formatting to point out otherwise.
    It`s in the bottom part of my 1st post.

    That`s incorrect. Ultimecia did not really expect any SeeD encounter when she first came to the past era [present of the game], she fully acknowledges the legendary SeeD when the Deling event occurs.

    It`s obvious that if Ultimecia knew about the greatest danger of SeeD in the first place, she would have of went to kill SeeDs before they were promoted at the balamb garden but that`s not the case, because she didn`t know them until the end of the disk 1. However, it`s true that she acknowledged SeeDs from Matron`s mind before the Deling event but like I said before, it didn`t imply that Ultimecia could face the greatest danger.

    Either way, Ultimecia was more capable of creating massive influences than any normal human would. She could easily take over any city.

    I doubt it, she could easily take it over without any problem because she`s Ultimecia.

    The reason why she wanted Ellone was because of TC, taking over the whole city would be unnecessary.

    Well you know, if you won't listen to the rest of us who have told you time and time again that your theories are blown out of proportion
    and your going overboard why bother posting them here, you're admitting here that we cannot prove you right or wrong (well we can, but you won't accept it unless it comes from square).
    I`m talking about in general like R=U, it cannot be 100% proved correct or incorrect. Only SquareSoft knows the answer, It`s up to you whether to believe it or not.

    Anyway, your posts in this thread are based on speculation and you did provide some evidence from the game BUT not even one that could disprove my theory, therefore, you haven`t proved me wrong yet. I will accept it when someone posts evidence that disproves my theory and I already have provided evidence that covers my theories.

    I`ve been posting a lot of theories in this forum over the years, some have disproved me wrong, and I've accepted them. Good times. Everybody makes mistakes.

    I have e-mailed them before and I didn`t get any answer from them. I gave up till the moment I finally realised that there`s no reason for them to do so.

    Anyway, don`t be silly, I enjoy talking about Final Fantasy VIII.
