i dont have the ultimania guide but what i thought the last time i played ff8 and finished it which was a long time ago but im playin it again to refresh my memory....oh yeh...i thought that ultimecia gave her powers to edea and edea gave her powers to rinoa and then rinoa didnt do anythin so she could be ultimecia....and isnt their somethin in the game that said that they had to be connected in order to give powers to each other...i dont remember....ill say more when i get to that part....
