That`s true, however, all the trial versions of FF8 are not the same. The trial version was released in the U.S second (after Japan). Both of those have the same effects (Rinoa being in the version). The demo was released in Europe later and I got mine but apparently it was different than the versions of U.S and Japan. My version only consisted of the same things as in the full version (just Quistis, Selphie, Squall and Zell). So I assumed that this was the moment of conception change in the script.Originally Posted by Roogle
I think that before Square finished developing FF8, it reflected the original script and during that period, they have released the trial version. There`s a label in my version stating "Demonstration purposes only, contents of this game are subject to change".
The thought of Square replacing Rinoa with Selphie in exactly the same position as displayed in the FMV is quite scary. Don`t you think?
The probability of Ultimecia spamming six SeeDs just to emphasise her anger when in fact that there were six people in the room (excluding Ultimecia herself) is pretty low. Six people in the room and her saying six SeeDs may be a quite lucky coincidence but doesn`t seem realistic.
How does Irvine fit in? Well, if Rinoa was a SeeD in the original script, then why not Irvine as well? In the full-released version, you will meet Rinoa and Irvine later in the game. This is just a speculation.
Selphie grew up with others at the orphanage, could that have been Rinoa?
Hehe, I`m beginning to like this Selphie = Rinoa theory.
I noticed something, the relationship of Irvine and Selphie seemed to be more superficial than the relationship of Irvine and Rinoa. Maybe this was the reason why they were hurrying editing the script before the final deadline?
