Can you link me the interview? Even if he thought it would be cool, but I believe he had had the first reason to put the tattoos because they look almost the same as Ulti... and that first reason must be something... like Z and U are related or whatever.

If some game designer went on record as saying that was his or her intention that would be one thing, but speculation is not the same as proof.

BG-57, not all people in the game wear tattoos, only apart from Zell and Ulti as far as I recall. That's why it is..

Other people have already addressed this point.

Ultimecia not only came from the future, but she lived before past and present because of time compression. At some point, yes, Ultimecia came from the future, she gotta have a family in which created her, otherwise she won't exist. That family consisted of someone involved. I don't wanna add more details because it's kinda part of R=U theories.

If, as you seem to be suggesting, that Ultimecia is a future incarnation of Rinoa, then she could hardly be the ancestor of Zell since Rinoa and Zell were born in the same month and year. And while it may be possible that one or both of them were conceived during time compression, it seems very unlikely. And certainly there is nothing in the game to suggest that anything like that happened.

Maybe zell started a trend and everyone hip in the future's got one

el oh el.
Zell must be quite the trendsetter.

I don't see the similarity in their markings, but who says that's a tatoo on her face for fact!? I say it's just some purple hooker make-up. I wouldn't see Ultimecia being related to Zell without the game designers hinting it in the game or revealing it in an interview.

[Heath]

Zell has a tattoo because nomura thought it would be cool. Seriously, there's an interview where he says as much :}

I think you're underestimating how badly Square didn't want this to get out! It's a conspiracy!

[Raebus]

Zell = Edea = Adel = Ultimecia?!

Zell = Edea + Fashion Trend = Ultimecia?!

I'm waiting for pudding to be introduced into this equation.

[Jimsour]

I dont see the resemblence..

at all..

[ReloadPsi]

Zell is Mike Tyson, not Ultimecia, we've been over this already.

[Raebus]

ReloadPsi's image does count as proof, mind. The resemblance is uncanny!

[Takara]

Tattoos aren't hereditary.

Besides, we all know that Master NORG evolved into Ultimecia. I mean, come on, they're both ugly and they both have a speech impediment. IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!! :o :o :o

[pyrefly maiden]

Adel has tattoos on her face too, only not so prominent since she has some kind of mask around her face.

:O Maybe Ulti used Time Kompression and produced Zell with Adel! (since Adel looks like a man and they're Sorceresses afterall).

[NeoCracker]

Se wait/ Mike Tyson = Zell = Ultimetica = Rinoa.

Meaining Rinoa is Mike Tyson.

So Squall's into big black men?

Not convincing enough for me. It's a possibility that he lied about it trying to deceive us into believing that FF8 is the most debating FF game ever.

It's more convincing if you wonder why there are only two tattoos on two characters, Zell and Ulti. Considering there are thousands of people in FF8, why only two characters that have the similar tattoos?

Thanks, actually, make it three characters because Adel has got a tattoo too but his tattoo isn't pretty much similar to Zell and Ulti's tattoos.

I still believe that Zell is blood/mentally related to Ulti.

Also, you know the GF-forgetten event, Zell seemed quiet, he never pretty much talked about it. That's suspicious.

omg lol i agree with neo.. you guys are nuts.. zell is just zell.. you really think the writers that made this game in 2 years thought that deeply about this plot.. they are prob just as confused as we are.. at least most of them.. seriously.. if you think this hard about it.. you must have very little to think about

[Big D]

This would be a good time to mention my Jenova=Ultimecia 'theory', but I can't be bothered going into it right now
