    I can see what you mean, I just mean how it can be taken to have meaning, the same goes with other theories - a certain theory that's been going so long I don't even know who made it is based purly on a line said by Squall.


    And that's fine. It's continuing on after the 'something' is gone that makes it based on nothing.
    I am inclined to agree here, that is why all my theories that I am 100% sure have lost their "somethings" are added to the DH list. I will still post these eventually just so people can see them, but I will make sure it is obvious they are already false.

    I can see where they come from too, but that doesn't mean they are concrete. He 'gets' the time is divided into several distinct geographic regions idea from the color test in Esthar. He 'gets' that the party is propagators based on 'personality traits' of propagators that aren't there. He 'gets' that the propagators aren't dead based on a blink cycle that simply isn't there. He 'gets' that Ellone is a robot and Rinoa is the real Ellone based on... Nada. He continues to base ever more grandiose theories on unsupported and completely tenuous theories that are unsupported. He jumps from fanciful notion to fanciful notion, acting as if the fanciful notions are support instead of further things to be validated.
    THAT is what basing theories on nothing is.
    I see what you mean, I am not saying all of FE's Theories are correct (if any), but I still like them more than most other theories I've read. I do agree that his "back up" can be confusing, because of the way he posts them sometimes but some of the theories (Such as the "Time Devision" thing and that Cid might be an evolved Shumi - which you haven't included on your list) to be the most potentially true of his theories - There is a litle more to the "Color Test" thing, than actually to do with color test based on things seen and said in the actual game. Again, they may or may not be correct, but I understand how he reached that conclusion. I have checked them.

    Also the "Ellone = Rinoa" theory was based on something - he felt that the two characters looked similar (which they do to a degree) and during that scene where Rinoa "devides herself" in space, one of the "images" looks more like Ellone than Rinoa. This is one of his theories I don't support as much as his others (I really don't think Rinoa is anyone but...Rinoa), but I can see how he got this theory, just like all of you will (hopfully) see how I got all of my incorrect theories - as well as any currently "correct" theories of mine that can be proved wrong. One recent one already has been. Oh, and the "Ellone is a Robot" theory was ended ages ago - FE admited he was wrong on that one.

    There's a very good chance that SquareSoft doesn't know enough Greek, or hire Greek translators for that matter. You know if you change the language of your Input keyboard to Greek, you'll have some hard time putting exact Greek characters to finish a word.

    Proof: they kind of did the same thing to Latin on the paintings in Ultimecia's castle. The Latin words on the painting are spelt correctly BUT the Latin sentences are wrong.

    This is very simple because if it's just a ID thing or something out of random, SquareSoft could have put more disoriented Greek characters that means absolutely nothing what so ever, FAR from 'Young girl', 'Maiden', or 'Daughter'. These words are actually relevant in the world of VIII.
    See? This is where Serapy reveals where (if this theory is correct) where the words could have some relovence to the game.

    I am enjoying these threads. They are inspiring.
