Which she did for direct tactical benefit. Not for prettying herself up.
And those two arts are not at all alike. Hence you cannot based anything on them being 'identical' when they aren't.I've shown two arts and then voiced my opinion, and that's about it.
I'm noting you still have not said specified any art in FFVIII or the real world aside from the thread opener, which are categorically not identical.You knew that it's impossible to prove this - and when you asked me to prove it, all I could sugguested was for you to compare between them. If they don't look alike to you, fair enough.
If you are not being intellectually dishonest by attacking strawmen of my arguments, then you simply cannot follow my arguments.So am I.
I don't need to deny 'it', there is no 'it.'Stop denying it.
Are you being willfully obtuse? You are CLAIMING Ultimecia wastes her power changing Edea's appearance. You are CLAIMING things every time you make one of these threads.So, if I put a 'K' character here. I claim the 'K' character?
Or it doesn't prove anything since we don't see when Edea changes.Ultimecia gives her own power to Edea at the beginning. At that point, she had black clothes and long hair. And when she was given this power, she looks still the same. This proves that her appearance doesn't change instantly after being given a power and further proves that her appearance doesn't change while being not possessed.
...Her skullcap was seen changing. Not her head. Her skullcap. Her hat.Years later, we see Edea again at Deling. This time, she was possessed by Ultimecia and her appearance is different. In one of the FMVs, her head was seen evolving.
Why assume her clothing is magic based AT ALL?Squall and his party can change thier appearances by wearing different clothes. Not through regular magic.
Since Ultimecia is in control of Edea's mind, she can do whatever she wants. Were her golden shapes behind her back made of human material? Or were they come from sorceress magic? Apart from her head that we saw from the FMV.
We never see the left side of Edea's face in Hi resolution, so for all we know, she still does bear her sorceress's corruption without her power. Other than that, they are the same.Are the faces of Matron and Edea a bit different?
Yes, though that logic should not be necessary in the first place since clothing is more parsimonious explanation.Then when Edea got rid of Ultimecia after her defeat. Her appearance is still there. I'm assuming that she still can do the head thing (her helmet is still there after her defeat.) At the ending, she's now got her old appearance back. I'm guessing she removed them by herself. Threw them in bin can or something. I guess this proves that her appearance is made of human material, since they didn't disappear. If Ultimecia got rid of, her blood-magic-made-of-clothes should disappear too.
She can't possess Edea because Edea isn't a sorceress any longer- or even if she can, Edea isn't useful to her, not being a sorceress any longer.Conclusion: Since I don't know when exactly did Ultimecia change Edea's appearance, but I can assume that she changed it when she was first possessed. When she was possessed, nobody's done something about it. This means that she had better freedom, she can do anything without someone interfering her. She can buy clothes or whatever.
Ultimecia knowing that she can possess two persons (Rinoa and Edea.) She prefers Edea. She used Rinoa to do dirty jobs, such as freeing Adel, and that's it. If Rinoa is a slave to Ultimecia and Ultimecia knowing that the public believes the new Edea, why should she change Rinoa's appearance? I don't think there's any other purpose why would Ultimecia possess Rinoa.
But Edea's face looks the same aside from the minor scarring of the corruption. You can absolutely recognize her as the same person both in and out of the outfit, from the FMV she's introduced in to the final sequences.All of this shows that if Rinoa was possessed by a different person after the game, her appearance can be changed if she wants to.
If Edea and Matron's faces looked different. Then Rinoa and X faces MAY look different.
