For example, you state that Ellone and Rinoa are the same person; the game states that Ellone's parents are dead, while it also states that Rinoa's parents are Julia and Caraway; Julia is dead, and Caraway is alive. Unless we say that the game was inaccurate in describing its own characters, your speculation is out of canon.)
It is not contradicting the tutorial,do you see how you still misunderstand things?
Ellone´s parents were dead.
However I bet people on Galbadia thought Squall was dead.But he misteriously recovers on the prison.The same goes with Laguna.
Suppose this situation:
Julia "dies" on a car crash.But then she got possessed by X ,recovers,chages her physical appearance and get to Winhill with Rinoa and her husband(not Caraway but Rinoa´s true father).Then she "dies again" along with her husband.
Now Julia recovers,turns into Ultimecia and later into Edea and went to Centra.
These things could had happened hidden from civilization.No one knows Julia is alive.That´s why it didn´t appear on the tutorial.It appears that she died because that was what people around the globe thought had happened.Same goes for Ellone´s parents.
Caraway says that Rinoa is his daughter but he could be lying or hidding something.
So as you see there weren´t any inconsistencies between my story and FF8 superficial story.
