I think Rand Al'Tor covered a lot of what was going to say so I'll just ask a few qeuestions.


Can you explain Griever, finding the Ragnorok in time, everyone living in the orphanage without using a theory?
If you use a theory can you use one with many huge hints in the game, that doesn't require an insane coincidence in some form, and that can be looked at logically and still be taken seriously.

Even if Square said they hadn't intended R=U, why does that mean we can't see it as a likely possibility. Do Square control all of our thoughts on their games, and without putting anything in an FFVIII game that disproves it do we have to accept whatever they say about things that aren't included.
