R=U? What are you people talking about?

[celtcknight]

Its the philosophy of it. when we buy a puzzle we want to put it together, not let it sit in the box and wonder what it could look like, or put half of it together and decide its finished and put it away.

Same goes for a game with the same "what ifs." If their are loose strings, we want to tie them some how to have a sense of completion over a game.

That is why many people flock to these forums looking for discussion and debate. Like Laguna and Raine are declared the parents of Squall in the very first post, Its an achievement for this forum and a step towards completion of the story.

I thought FFVIII was completed until I visited this site. I never would have thought of any of these "what ifs" until I came into here. Im curious to see if they ever develop into facts like the L+R=S. Isnt that one of the reasons this forum was created?

L+R=S

I would like to see the documented footage

That's more or less an established fact, it's basically told to you in the game. Unlike R=U, which is less clear and more open to speculation and debate.

im sorta new at this.... but ive read all the replys and it just came to me that maybe this is what square intended to do. Maybe they put in evidence for and against r=u just so that us players could make up the ending we wanted to, thus satisfying more ppl than if they just somehow told you if r=u was true or not true...

this was my thought on it and i am open-minded on this subject... it just got me thinking how much square leaves to the gamer to decide in the later FFs and so both sides could possibly be "right" at the same time

replies are very welcome to this line of thought

I'd be more satisfied if they did tell me! I can't be bovad to think about all the if buts and or whys!

I think one thread on the theory at a time is plenty.
