    I had kinda come to a similar conclusion myself. Its a pity all these little facts weren't really explored any further at any point in the game. There is no reason why Square couldn't of put information about such things in the Bestiary like in FFXII (defeating a certain amount of a particular enemy revealed more info on Ivalice in the Bestiary(for those who didn't know:P))

    Gives it a Wuthering Heights quality to it: Healthcliff and Catherine's relationship is doomed, but his adopted son and Catherine's daughter are able to be together and essentially redeem three generations of misdeeds.

    The in-game Tutorial practically states that Julia is Rinoa's mother.
    Eyes On Me
    Julia Heartilly's song. Julia married the Galbadian General Caraway after releasing "Eyes On Me". Gave birth to a girl one year later. Julia died in a car crash at age 28, right before her daughter turned 5.

    That's a quite acceptable theme which shared the love story between Squall and Rinoa. Thier love story has begun when Rinoa implemented Squall into her life simply by casting her magic finger-star symbolism towards himself. It`s incredibly rare for one woman knowing that her newly-determined relationship will end up well eventually throughout the whole story, regardless of Squall`s questionable attitudes. A woman initialising a specific action towards a stranger - one out of 100 or so other people in the room and everything is set in stone.

    Thier destiny is willingly set in stone before Ultimecia came into play. Ultimecia has altered the timeline between Squall and Rinoa, and no matter what happens, the destiny of Squall and Rinoa never changed a bit.

    This has to be psychological related. If Laguna and Julia were never in love before, the love between Squall and Rinoa would have never happened. Or perhaps, even Rinoa and Squall would have never existed. Or most of all, Ultimecia would have never happened. One thing led to another thing; e.g. the misfortune between Laguna and Julia has caused both of them to go toward thier own ways. It`s as if Final Fantasy VIII is filled with misfortunes.

    That is why R=U is a nice addition to the story. In the end, Ultimecia lost. Squall and Rinoa won, and they were happy after the game. Destiny wins after all.

    Is it possible to have a thread in this forum that doesn't have someone try to turn it into an R=U discusion?
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Are you serious? The game practically throws that in your face. Otherwise, what's the point in saying Julia got with Caraway?
