:mog:I have a few theories to build on what you have already said. We all know that junctioning makes you forget things, whether you lose the memories, or the connection for the brain to access the memory becomes severed. We also know that this is caused by the GF taking up residence in your head. Many of you however, just assumed that GF's just change into a noncorporeal form when they are not in their corporeal form, but i like the idea that they instead come from a place somewhat akin to the land of summoned monsters as in previous titles. I know this seems like a kinda weird theory but i can back it up and tie it all together. instead of the GF taking residence in your mind, it instead utilizes your memories to make a door to their world, however the memoroies are used up in the process, which wud explain y the longer a gf is junctioned the more memories you lose. but what about GF's like the brothers, ifrit, or bahamut that are just wondering the world. I think that each of these GF's had a synthetic door. for the Brothers it was the temple that was the door, for ifrit it was the fire cavern, etc. This theory also explains diablo and Doomtrain. For diablo the lamp was just a door, and for doomtrain, you have to collect the items to make a door for it. I agree with the other ideas that all other GF's are just junctioned to the monsters from which you draw them. about the memory theory of them seeing their childhood, the reason that irvine might have brought up the memories to remind everyone, is because he wasnt from the balamb garden and therefore may not have used GF's b4 joining the party.he therefore would have the least memories lost and might still have/have access to those memories. about those of you that keep putting down this theory with such evidence as: they knew how they felt in the memory how cud that be if they just watched it happn? to forget an event, u need only forget the experiences of 4/6 of yur senses. to remember sumthing u need to know how it looked, tasted, felt, smelled, sounded like, or how it made you feel. a sense is technically a way of translating what is around us so the brain can make a decision regarding the best course of action. usually when listing senses, ppl only list the ones that we observe with. The 6th sense is emotion and it is the most important sense, it allows us to interpret what is observed and then we make our decision based on how we feel. so mebe the GF's only use the observational memories to make their doors, and when irvine(/ellone according to future E) reminded the party of the observational memories they still had the translational memories associated with them. Neways thats all i got, sorry for the long post:mog:
