Sequel To FFVIII - Your Ideas?

[BG-57]

There have been discussions about a Laguna prequel before. I agree it would be neat, although the storyline would be more restricted than a sequel.

What I'd like to see in a sequel would involve the origins of Ultimecia.

My ideas:

Ultimecia starts out as young SeeD a generation or two beyond Squall and Rinoa. A spoiled aristocratic type, she'd be disliked by most of her classmates. She joins an elite squad to take out the sorceresses, unaware of her own bloodline.

So she would feel personally betrayed by her SeeD friends when she inheirits her sorceress powers. Her only ally would be her knight, another SeeD, a hunter that she has a stormy relationshiop with. His greatest ambition is to hunt down and slay Tiamat (and maybe Griever), thus preventing Ultimecia's ascent (since many of the details of her life would be known to future generations).

The elements that would bring about her ascention (the discovery of her castle, the corruption of Tiamat, the creation of the juction machine) would come about, and their attemepts to prevent them from coming to pass would actually facilitate them, like a Greek tradegy.

Maybe I should just write a fanfic. :rolleyes2
