    As much as I wish it was true (it would be such an awsome twist), it's not

    It would be an incredible twist indeed. But Im glad its not, I like Rinoa and Squall. Such a thing if it were true would be very tragic, and I wouldnt like FF8 to end knowing that Squall and Rinoa turn into hell bent nightmares in the future.

    So, no...

    Ok, well obviously a lot of people don't like and/or disagree with this theory. I'm just saying that since the events in Final Fantasy VIII are supposedly "just the tip of the iceberg," then the idea of R=U may in fact be a possible contender for the continuation of the Final Fantasy VIII universe. This continuation may be in the form of a sequel, or perhaps more likely, a prequel, with new and old characters included in the development of the saga. I doubt that the creation of Ultimecia, through the interaction of the game developer and character designer, left the sorceress with a completely empty and unrelated background to the main events in Final Fantasy VIII. Most likely, there is something unrevealed and hidden, and the possibility of one of these secrets seems to be the idea of R=U. Hopefully one day, we'll have a continuation...

    Actually, I like the tragic element that R=U brings to the storyline. It makes it (for me at least) a lot more ....classic..... i guess you could say I'm old fashioned with my story preferences, but oh well.

    Anyway, I think Squall and Rinoa's love for each other is so strong tha Rinoa could become Ulty simply because she wanted to see him so badly. We all saw what Squall was willing to do just to hear Rinoa's voice again. I also like to think that the promise they make in Edea's house is great support for the theory. And, since Square just came out and said that it was impossible, I've just gone ahead believed it anyway. I think its called Final "Fantasy" for a reason.

    BTW I'm new to the forum.... this place rocks.
    Some people say, "If you can't beat them, join them." I say, " If you can't beat them, beat them." Because if you can't beat them, they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of suprise.:twak:

    I dont want a continuation. FF8 wraps up very nicely. No plotholes, or loose ends, and all the characters make out well.

    Reality blows...Final Fantasy Forever!!! Besides, the idea of "what" reality is can be subjective, and may be impossible to prove as the one and final truth of existence. Therefore, an illusion (or fantasy) which relates positively to realm of its creator (i.e. the creator's reality) can be just as real, helpful, genuine, and perfect in its subsistence. This is because in the universe of the fantasy, reality becomes it, and the creator of that illusion can experience the illusions' reality through certain mediums in his/her own reality. In conclusion, Final Fantasy rules all.

    In the game we learn that Ultimecia never had a knight and is what was said to have tainted her. Riona however has Squall as a Knight plus is generations before Ultimecia the only possiblity would be that it was once Riona's powers as she is the only Sorceress left in the world when they defeat her.

    I believe it.

    Sadly the images arent included in this one, but its the same info I discovered on another site. The images were from the final FMV (I think it was) and you see quick flashes of Ultimecias eyes over Rinoas eyes. But IMO I believe that Rinoa is Ultimecia. Agree or disagree if you wish, but thats what Ive always believed.

    I read half of that and got bored. It revolves around the indication that sorceresses don't die. but it's been stated in these forums over and over that square released an official statement saying that sorceresses have an ordinary human lifespan.

    I guess theres evidence supporting both ways, however its still a theory. Unless square decied to do a sequel/prequel (game/movie) and clear up the theory nobody can say for sure if R=U

    Did you read Fact 8 at all?
    Fact 8: There are 3 Full Motion Video shots of Ultimecia in the game, all are at the ending, and last less than 1/10th of a second each, barely visible (did you notice them?). Why would square go to all the trouble of making the fmv if no one were to see it? Square aren't stupid, they wouldn't waste time and money for nothing.
