i actually agree on this one. either square buggered up and just ignored putting ultimecias castle on the map, or its a different time period. and normally in 100's of years, technology would have advanced and citys would have grown and changed. im not sure when the disk 4 world map is but it makes no sense for it not to have that giant castle on it.
Unless, like FFs 5 and 9, the castle is located in an outside where, such as the Xzone.
Though to be frank, with the minimalist nature of most RPG world maps, hundreds of years could pass without notable change, especially if said change was not deemed important.

Of course, the REAL explanation was laziness on the part of FF8's map makers, but pfeh.
