For U=R lovers

[Future Esthar]

Tattoos are inherited in much the same way a family object or a tale is passed through generations.

[Serapy]

Zell could be indeed a true descendant of Ultimecia in blood. His tattoos must be genetically related because Ultimecia has the tattoos as well. So, she re-produced Zell, and that's how he's got her tattoos inherited. But what about Adel?

EDIT- Almost all the beings in VIII don't have tattoos. Only Zell, Adel and Ultimecia do.

I know I might not be quite right, but I believe Zell didn't have the tattoo in the orphanage flashbacks...

Sometimes in non-CGI scenes, even big Zell's tattoos cannot be seen.

[Fynn]

So you're saying he had tattoos as a kid...? 0_o

[McLovin']

Genetically inherited tattoos Fynn!

My mind is blown!

[Sword]

This is stupid

[G13]

Agreed!

SeeD heritage is as follows:

Seifer et Almasie (Seifer D'Almasy) marries Ultimedea and gives birth to Ellone Rinva.
Ellone Rinva marries Sqvall giving birth to Zell
Zell marries Qvistix giving birth to Sophie
Sophie marries Irvine.

This 8 persons form SeeD.
This is a codename given by the Garden´special students but no one knows its real meaning.

Ah NO! Ellone is Raine's daughter so she is Squall's half sister so I don't reckon Zell is their son. And also the idea of Ultimecia & Zell being related due to genetic facial tattoos, again NO how ridiculous! Genetic facial tattoos, really?

If they are related then Zell would have to be her grandfather not grandson being that Ultimecia is from the future also they don't look anything alike .

Also it would not be necessary for Ultimecia to be related to any of the Sorceresses in the present to be a sorceress in the future. Edea passed on her sorceress powers to Rinoa after the battle in Galbadia Garden. They aren't related are they?

The only time paradox I could see in the game is Ultimecia giving her powers to Edea after the final boss fight.

I don't think the R=U theory is right either. The idea that Rinoa was imprisoned went crazy & killed all of SeeD. Again no, Squall obliviously would of saved her again just like he did the first time Esthar wanted to imprison her. I mean he hardly decided after the ordeal that surrounds FFVIII that f**k her she ain't worth saving twice.

I like the idea that Zell was born with tattoos. Makes him even cooler.

Also, posting purely because the title says "U=R" instead of "R=U"

OMG! You just made me realize that switching the positions of the letters makes the whole theory make sense now! :Eek:

[The Crystal]

All those threads about R=U are just a ploy to distract us of the real truth... That Future Esthar is Ultimecia. :Eek:

Squall=Griever

Squall was rinoa's guardian and sacrificed himself to be the final summon to beat Sin who travelled dimension. She wanted time compression to prevent the Sin cycle form happening.

I cried aloud with mirth and merriment never realized how similar the sin and sorceress plot was.

fanfic, pls dont lemme find some1 down the line in this thread take this seriously.

The S=G thing is actually a fairly well known theory, as it is part of the infamous R=U theory.

I will admit that the actually S=G theory has a bit more credibility than the R=U theory in my opinion, so I do slightly believe in it as a possibility, but in order to fully believe it I need to believe the R=U theory, which I don't believe at all.

[Ouch!]

Perhaps I'm just talking out of my ass here (but that's what these threads are all about anyway!), but doesn't scanning Griever reveal that he was created from Squall's own mind by Ultimecia?
