Dying star?

[Serapy]

When the camera rolls the scene; a scene that's outside of the Ultimecia castle's range, the star started turning red. There's evidence to support this assumption, the Moon is outside of the Ultimecia castle's range and yet it looks the same as the Moon from the present era.

If whatever you're saying is true, the Moon would of have been adapted to Ultimecia's ominous atmosphere.

It's not the atmosphere of the castle, it's the atmosphere of the earth that does it, child. Cloud cover or airborn dust acts like a color filter. Simple as that.

Ultimecia's atmosphere affects everything on Earth? Are you implying that she was the only being ever lived in her time period?

Wait wait wait...

You admit that it is only there for two seconds, and that it is largely unseen or ignored by most players.

And then you use that to argue in favor of it being a major plot point? Get your logic circuits rechecked, buddy, because right now you're stuck on an "i++ UNTIL i<1" loop.

I'm sure the writers have considered how to deal with things like "What if players take something deeper?"

They have just done that. They have added a lot of things to the game that are non-dialogueous. Things that are non-dialogueous have the potential of being taken seriously, easily.
