Now Im not trying to argue with any of you FF VIII vets, Ive just finished the game today for the first time (hooray for me ) so Im kinda trying to put the whole thing together.

I understood things to work this way:

1. Odines machine based on Elone becomes very powerful in the future enabling Ultimecia to travel back in time, so she comes up with the whole time compression theory and figures "what the heck Ill give it a shot"

2.Ultimecia isnt able to go back far enough to compress time from the begining but she gets fortunate enough to get dropped off in Elones time (or she purposely does so after finding her abilities in time travel are still limited). Hence she starts a search for this girl the machines based on in order to use her to go further back.

3.Ultimecia posseses Adel (whos not such a nice person to begin with) to accomplish this but after Laguna and friends put Adel out of commision, Ultimecia jumps to Edea, but SeeD having defeated Edea many times causes her to go with Rinoa.Smart choice because of the relationship she has with Squall and the rest of the gang perhaps thinking that relationship will serve to protect Rinoa as she uses her.


Is any of this right?
