Yeah, I've read that FAQ, and it does make sense . . .

But do you *honestly* think that the designers of the game intended the game's inticracies to only be understandable through a 70-page long explanation of the physics of the universe? Personally, I don't.
But I'm willing to overlook this little flaw in the game -- after all, it's still a wonderful game, and hey, I'll bet Squall doesn't really get it either.
