about the origin of ultimecia (big big spoiler)

[crazybayman]

i have heard someone in another forum talking about ultimecia being rinoa in the future ad griever being squall, which has become her knight. this makes so much sense and i was totally freaked out/shocked/pumped/excited. what do you guys think abouit this?

WHOA! didn't see that one coming

Even though I like the idea of this theory, it's not possible.

Ultimecia exists in a time many generations after the time of Squall and Rhinoa. They will have been long since dead by the time Ultimecia is born.

Yes Rhinoa is a sorceress, and people believe that a Sorceress' lifespan is longer than that of a human, especially when looking at how young Edea looks compared to Cid. However, the Ultimania Guide (fact taken from the creators at Square) states that a sorceress' lifespan is no longer than that of a typical human's. Meaning that it is impossible for Rhinoa, and Squall to be alive in the time of Ultimecia, meaning that Rhinoa is not Ultimecia, and Squall is not Griever.
