1. At the end of disc 2 (Thanks to Shiva Blizzard, I finally finished disc 2 by renting the game from Blockbuster), Edea clearly said that she inherite her power NOT from Adel but from a sorcerer before Adel which I believe not as lunatic as Adel.

2. Rinoa is NOT inherite Adel's power or Ultimecia power when she went to space and released Adel. She inherited the power of sorcerer Hyena which was said by Esthar guy assistant of doctor Odine (After Ragnarok landed on the K-Desert.

So in my opinion, at the end of disc 2, Edea accidentally transfer her sorcerer power to Rinoa which has a potential to be a sorcerer, then Ultimecia used her to revive Seifer.

In my opinion as well, there are several reasons why Ultimecia couldn't control Rinoa like she controled Edea in the end of disc two till the space things:
1. Because the transfer is not complete (Rinoa's body is adjusting with the new sorcerer power), I think Ultimecia can't completely control someone who was just become a sorcerer and no nothing about it. In Edea case, Cid has said that Edea has been a sorcerer since her childhood, means she knows well about sorcerer things and I believe has done things about it. The sorcerer power that she inherited has grown deep in her.

2. She is not interested in possessing Rinoa cause she thought she only need a tool to release Adel then she will pursue Ellone again. She might think that her goal is nearly over so why bother using other people to reach the glory? Why not she takes the glory herself.

3. Edea said in the end of disc 2 that she is willingly giving herself up to Ultimecia in order to save Ellone. This means that she completely surrender to Ultimecia while in Rinoa case, she didn't know what the heck going on and she was forced to do it.

So this is my two cents. I don't know why some people still think that Edea inherited Adel's power. It is impossible to think that someone like Adel will give her power to someone's else. As impossible as Ultimacia giving her power to someone else to do her nuts job. And it is clearly stated in the game. Square soft has put it right in the game that Edea inherited her power NOT from Adel.
1. We know this.

2. Wrong. She is called "Hyne's descendant" by the guy, because it is a mark of respect to call a sorceress that. All sorceress powers can be traced back to Hyne. Rinoa inherited Edea's power, and then Adel's later.
