Okay, if a Sorceress needs to pass her powers on before she dies then in theory Ultimecia really is a descendent of Rinoa.

Don't flip out yet!

So waaaaay back when there was Hyne, she created the world blah blah. So many many many years later we have 2 sorceresses existing, Edea and Adel.
Before them there were many sorceresses made by Hyne (there had to be, or else how could we have 2 sorceresses in one time period?) but they were hunted etc. and eventually there were only 2 sorceress bloodlines, the one that eventually passed its powers onto Edea, and the other to Adel. Now, because Adel died it eliminated the second to last sorceress blood line (well, its not literally a bloodline, but you get the point) and that left Rinoa, whom had recieved her powers from Edea. So now there is one sorceress in the present day, Rinoa.

So Rinoa MUST have passed her powers on before dying, lets say to some girl named Lenne, then to Nina, Eleanor, Kelly, Nadia etc. etc. so all these sorceresses (yeah i know i made them up, but go with me) passed down their powers to the next, eventually getting to Ultimecia, so really Ultimecia has to be a descendent of Rinoa, but they definitely aren't the same person.

But Ultimecia is from the future, so she can't be a descendant. Also I thought that the 'sorceress'-to-be' didn't have to be related. Edea wasn't related to Rinoa, was she?? O I'm confuzzled!

[Ramza Beoulve]

Anyone in the Sorceress tale was a descendent of other, only the powers were passed, she is not a descendent, she only haves the powers, thats it.

[Moon Rabbits]

Well yeah that's what I meant, if all sorceresses are a descendent of Hyne, then Ultimecia is a descendent of Rinoa, not by blood of course.

Yeah, not like the traditional definition of "descendent", but thats it.

I guess it's kind of like a version of all people being the children of God. but lets not get into that

Yup, but lets try to get out religions, because we can get in trouble.

Lets just agree that Final Fantasy is our Religon as Lychon stats.

Yeah good one IceAngel lets not get into that (i just realized i could've put these both in the same post but i forgot):mog:

[IceAngel]

Lol silly person!

How can she not be a descendant? Rinoa exists in a time prior to Ultimecia, therefore it is feasible that a descendant of Rinoa in the FUTURE, such as Ultimecia, could acquire her powers.

But in the game they mention some other sorceressess in hiding, so they could pass on their powers too.

I'm thinking decendant got confused with ancestor. Its very possible Ulti could be Rin's great grand daughter xD

[Kappy]

But Ultimecia travels back when she is killed and passes her powers onto Edea.
So essentially Rinoa and Ultimecia are both descendants of each other. :/ XD

Yeah, is the reality
