    [/QUOTE][QUOTE]Why dun you just include every supernatural element that ever appear in human history into FF VIII as well?


    Because fairies were the ones closer to sorceresses on tales.

    MOST FAIRY DUN HAVE WHITE WINGS
    It didn´t matter.What matter is:

    As I said Fairies represent Good.
    Fairies had wings.
    A person having white wings will most likely be a fairie.
    Flo:Honey,the clock is late.Go out fix it.
    Mayor Dobe:What hours is it?
    Flo: 15:30
    Mayor Dobe:Hey do you wanna to send the Estharians to Centra or what?
    Flo:Ok,let it be on 3:45

    Fairies don't represent Good, though--at least not always. Read A Midsummer Night's Dream. (Or watch it, for that matter.)

    Witches are mentioned in the game, my dear friend. There is a theme song for it.

    And the others are remain so hidden that even you didn't notice it.

    WONDER HOW PEOPLE DIDN'T NOTICE IT.

    It didn´t matter if faries have white wings or not.
    It is even more contradicting then the first one.

    A person having white wings will most likely be a fairie
    It didn´t matter if faries have white wings or not
    So, if a person have white wings he is a fairy, and fairy doesn't have white wings. So he is a fairy but not exactly a fairy but in some aspects and views that he is a fairy based on his white wings but might not be one since fairy dun have white wings.

    And Rinoa's limit break should be call "Fairy Wings" instead?

    In general, my understanding is that fairies are thought to be outside the traditional good/evil spectrum; they're separate, and that's why caution is needed around them. For that matter, they don't even all have wings, but to call them something that represents good is probably inaccurate, and unnecessary in FF8 in the first place. As Sorceresses go, a Witch is a Witch; the source material (including the Ultimania) doesn't break it further than that. A Sorceress is a Sorceress. What's good or evil is their actions in using that power.

    In the Japanese version, they are called witch, that is why came the theme song "Succession Of Witches".

    Right. I wasn't questioning that. Unless you were trying to clarify for people who might not know? I was using the term because they're the same thing.

    Laguna in fact refers to "faeries" maybe because it was incorporated on FF8 mythology(as Qurange states).
    But then mithology could just be based on legends.
    These legends could represent events prior to WOTC.
    I also believe Laguna was Vascaroon but somehow loosed memory.
    But he and other characters could just have a vague idea about the existence of fairies before WOTC.
    Rinoa(Ellone) could had been a fairy(the name the Centra people gave to a good sorceress) before WOTC without realizing it.And then after bringing her from her era Hyne make she loose memory and gave the name "Angel Wings" to her limit break.

    Fairies still dun have white wings.

    Rinoa(Ellone) could had been a fairy(the name the Centra people gave to a good sorceress) before WOTC without realizing it.And then after bringing her from her era Hyne make she loose memory and gave the name "Angel Wings" to her limit break.



    See the differences? THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE.

    Well,we know that Rinoa is not an angel but a sorceress.
    But was there any difference?No.
    "Fairy" was probably the name that the Centra person gave to a good sorceress.
    It´s not a fairy on the usual way.

    So?

    "Fairy" was probably the name that the Centra person gave to a good sorceress.
    Itīs not a fairy on the usual way.
    It is called "Hyne Descendant" by the people not actually limited to Centra.

    Well, it should be noted that Angel Wing was never named in dialogue; it's a descriptive term for her limit break, referring to the fact that when activated, she shows angelic wings.

    There doesn't seem to be any support for linking faeries and the powers of the Sorceress, in dialogue or in the tutorial files. The mark of respect is, as Unknowns said, 'Hyne's Descendant'. Faeries were apparently relatively benign in FF8 (though my only support for this was that only good things were associated with them; snow, 'help' in battle), whereas the Sorceress power is usually feared, whether the witch in question is good or evil. Hyne, after all, was a very unpleasant deity, and it's in myth his power that the Sorceresses wield.

    So, I don't see how faeries and Sorceresses can be linked.

    There isn´t because all people on FF8(which came from Centra) forgot about that link.
    They probably know about faeries from arqueological data but they don´t remember the real facts about what a fairy was.
    Since they(and the sorceresses) were brought from different eras and loosed their memory they loosed the memory about that link.

    For instance,when we look at a good sorceress with white wings(like Rinoa) we see a resemblance with an angel which per se resembles what we know as a fairy.
    Angels and faeries are not the same but look alike (not equal but similar).
