PAK, please do not try and set up some sort of differences between me and Ryu here. I'm think we both agree on the fundamental point of Squall's weird experience; that it was a combination of TC breaking down and Squall's sad/desperate state of mind (since after all, TC reacts to thoughts/emotions as stated by Laguna). As for knowledge on time travel, if you have respect for what little I know on the subject, I can assure you that the same respect can easily be given to Ryu as well.
So please rather focus on Ryu's points instead of trying to point out that we disagree on something, when in reality we probably don't. A few more things:
You should refresh your FF8 knowledge:Also, Ultimecia is the only one that talks about persecution. There is no mention of generations of witches being persecuted. So...
Edea: "...Lowlifes. ...Shameless filthy wretches. How you celebrate my
ascension with such joy. Hailing the very one whom you have condemned for generations. Have you no shame? What happened to the evil, ruthless sorceress from your fantasies? The cold-blooded tyrant that slaughtered countless men and destroyed many nations? Where is she now? She stands before your very eyes to become your new ruler. HAHAHAHAHA."
Sure, when the game ends, we haven't been introduced to anyone who's going to take Rinoa's powers, but that's because it's not important to the storyline to see someone specific. We simply know by the nature of sorceress powers that she must give up her powers eventually, so there will be a successor.
Square-Enix.Who's to say that Rinoa, a Sorceress of The Great Hyne, will not live that long?
Firstly, battle physics is not the same as storyline physics, clearly. In the storyline, one bullet was going to be enough to take down Edea, yet in battle, you can slash her to pieces with a huge sword and nothing happens.Oh and don't bother with well she would be an 'invalid'. Right, this from characters that can take getting mauled by a tiger, sip some gatorade and say "ow"?
Secondly, if for some reason aging was not a problem in FF8, it would hardly be meaningful for Square to explicitly state that sorceresses age like regular human beings. Clearly it was put there to indicate that they grow old, weak, and die like everyone else. Also, I'm sure we must see old people in FF8 at some point...
I'll leave the rest to Ryu, as I have school work, and you're just repeating yourself over and over again. And the point you're repeating (that the theory is "possible") is completely worthless anyway.
