Thatīs interesting.I already spotted many similarities between places on FF8 but you just noticed one that I never noticed.(no theory,rest assured).I can PM you telling about many others I am sure you didnīt noticed.There were many more similarities than you thought.By the way if you look at Ultiīs castle from the outside on that intro scene you will see that the master room is at the middle of the castle and the clock tower is at the back.
