underrated!

You do realize that she may not know who they are because she never met them, and may not be related in any way, shape or form? Memory loss does not give any slight hint that she knew them at any point, nor does it hint that she might be Rinoa.

Yes, I realise this. If she, in fact, is not Rinoa, then this is the obvious answer. If she is, then I coupled this theory with what I was saying earlier.

Rinoa blocked his path to the...
Oh won't even try to figure out how she could possibly do that...

Anyway, would you mind explaining to me how she lived that long? Rinoa's not immortal, face it there is the R=U theories aren't backed in the game.

I said it already: Sorceress prison. You know, like the one they put Adel in? She didn't seem to need sustainence while in it and also appeared to be in suspended animation, so that's the most obvious theory.

As to the soul-suspending thing, I think of the relationship between a sorceress and her knight to be similar to that of a summoner and her guardian in FFX, in that special bonds--love being the most obvious--gives her more power over her knight. This ties into another theory I have that all Final Fantasies are related, but that's a whole 'nother ballpark. Evidence of a sorceress having some effect over her knight's will is the flashback to when the team defeated Edea and watched as Seifer helped the newly-possessed Rinoa to her feet. He seems to be in some sort of a trance, and acknowledges the puppeteer being as "Sorceress Ultimecia."

I think GFs are exactly this: sorceresses' knights whose souls were bound to something to alter them into demons. This is based on the Doomtrain ring and the Diablos lamp, and putting this idea in motion is what makes me think that Squall was bound to the Griever ring from whence he emerged years later as Griever.

You are trying to add depth to a depthless villian.

Yes! Exaclty my point! I--and many others--see things like this as there being more than what is apparent.

Well, I've hardly tried. I've always been convinced of it and seeing this theme throughout the game--intentional or not--was always there. It's the explaination part as to how it all went down where trying come into play.
