Well Organized Time Compression theory (finally!!!).Single theory thread.

[Qurange]

What was it that gave you the idea that the color check was more than just a color check for the holographic tile, like in that second (admittedly pretty, yes; I like colors) picture? I'd be interested to hear your inspiration, because this is rather creative, it's true.

I have some contentions with some of the things that you're suggesting. For instance, it's given in the Ultimania that a Sorceress doesn't have an extended lifespan, so I don't see how Adel could have lived long enough to have been reshaping the world in this manner (unless we assume that the world is already compressed, but I haven't found a reason to assume that, yet.). Furthermore, The Lunatic Pandora is a recent construction--Esthar built it around the Crystal Pillar. The Lunar Cry predates the Lunatic Pandora, which was presumably built as a weapon to control it, and so I don't see how the Lunar Cry would require the Pandora to carry itself out.

It's an interesting idea, but I don't see how it fits into the FFVIII canon--though as an AU sort of idea it's nifty. I admit, I like to look into the world and see what I can figure out that wasn't directly stated, too, though I think I we about it differently.

(Edit for crazy grammar.)
