How many monsters have we faced that's part of the plot?
For example. Rinoa faced monsters that were created by Ultimecia; her lions. The monsters exist for a reason.
Propagators appear on screen, unlike many other monsters. It proves that there's something significant about them.

Does this shape have six numbers?Originally Posted by rubah
That Ruby Dragon from Laguna's sequence? Now that you mentioned it...
Its existence was to play a role in the 'Oh, Sir Knight. Save my boobs from this evil dragon' thing... with a GUNBLADE! Ironic, right?
Seifer being Ultimecia's knight to save herself from the legendary SEED.... and Squall being Rinoa's knight. Uh..
I'm actually curious about the Ruby Dragon scene. Everybody thought it was fake at first but it turned out to be real! Where did that person go? That person responsible for the costumes. Have we ever seen him/her before? A ruby dragon near the green forest? Perhaps, the dimension was responsible for this Ruby Dragon after all!
Comic relief...
Encountering the propagators on the field map does not indicate greater plot significance. More than likely, this is due to simply game play mechanics. Fighting enemies which much be defeated in pairs via random encounters would complicate the process unnecessarily.
I remember Future Esthar post something similar like this and ESPECIALLY the BOLDED part like two or even three years ago when I am still Unknowns! WTF.
The word "evidence" is a give and take here, I know this because I am making/have made some theories myself and I have often interpetted things as evidence when it later turns out not to be (so I put it in DH) and there are a few old theories of mine that have been proven false, but the "evidence" still works for me, even though I know it's not vallid.Except, you know, theories require some sort of evidence to support it, and a majority of the theories that pop up in the FFVIII forum are based on a lack of evidence.
That's sort of my point, Serapy obviously looked at something differently and inteperetted it more than we did. It maybe false it maybe completly correct, (I still need to study that section) but this is how it was done. It is like my old theories that still have yet to be posted. They had "evidence", but it was MY evidence, and just how I saw it. For instance I took the music as hints, but it wasn't.
I understand, I apologise and I will get back to the rest of your response.
This comment was not directed to be mean to Seraphy, although I did say it in a mean way. From my comment, I meant to tell people who disagreed with him to not attack him, and only let this thread die, unless of course they had something of reason to say. Also, I believe trolling is anything that was made for the purpose of getting an immediate negative response. I guess it would be hard for someone not in my mind to follow my train of thought, however
Of course, my comment would have been nicer if I saw merit within the theory that I read. Talking of the cube thing, I see it as a study of human behavior, not at all related to FF8, but instead to people in general. Also, I don't see how friendship alone will keep them together through time compression.
As for the propagators, 2 is a very common number. I do believe the designers of the game were trying to make a point with them about how Squall and Rinoa will help eachother, but it stops there. Ragnorak is a name already used in the series. There is no proof that the ship went faster than the speed of light(as far as I know). Time compression has not happened yet.
These last 2 paragraphs are what I originally was going to write, just shooting down his ideas one by one, but I figured that would be a negative, unneeded response, hence my current post.
Have to check on that - probably a coincidence though.I remember Future Esthar post something similar like this and ESPECIALLY the BOLDED part like two or even three years ago when I am still Unknowns! WTF.
There's something strange about these propagators.
In Disk 1, Ultimecia summons two lion-alike with the intention of killing Rinoa, this was the exact moment when Squall acknowledges the fact that Rinoa is in danger.
But this time, it's the opposite. Squall saved Rinoa from the space and acknowledged that she's no longer in danger. Yet, they have faced these propagators in the Ragnarok.
How can the propagators survive in an abandoned ship? Where do they come from? How do they eat? I don't think they eat machine parts to survive. The Ragnarok looks pretty heathly.
One thing for sure is that they didn't jump in to the Ragnarok from the infested Moon. Even if they did, what would be their purpose for doing so? Destiny? Destined to kill Squall / Rinoa when they come over?
These monsters appear on screen (nothing to do with game-play), so they have to be important.
It's funny that the definition of propagator has to do with time...
Thanks for confirming the theroy!
These are half plot and game play related. You see the characters talking and reacting to these Propagators before the battles.Encountering the propagators on the field map does not indicate greater plot significance. More than likely, this is due to simply game play mechanics. Fighting enemies which much be defeated in pairs via random encounters would complicate the process unnecessarily.
The monsters appearing on screen has EVERYTHING to do with gameplay. YOU HAVE TO DEFEAT THEM IN COLOR MATCHED PAIRS to progress the plot. If they just appeared randomly, it would be entirely random as to whether or not you eve got out of that sequence.
But you can't control the characters when they interact with the Proggas, so that's gotta be part of plot
Yes, the characters fighting the propagators IS part of the plot. They fight the propagators to clear the Ragnarok for their own use. That's IT. There's nothing more to it.
Monsters came to Earth from the infested Moon (LUNAR CORPORATION.) None of these monsters look like the Propagators.
And consider how these Propagators came to the Ragnarok. They can't just fly from the Moon over there in space alone... When the monsters were travelling to Earth, they were inside some sort of blue ice-cream, I guess for breathing gas.
Thanks, I was wondering where he got this from. My memory of FFVIII is fuzzy.Yes, the characters fighting the propagators IS part of the plot. They fight the propagators to clear the Ragnarok for their own use. That's IT. There's nothing more to it.
