Nope. Not amusing.
I'm not surprised.

No, it's not circular reasoning. We know Adel went crazy for lack of a knight. It's known in universe sorceresses go crazy for lack of a knight. Ultimecia is crazy AND has no knight. Hardly circular.
It's not circular reasoning, how? You've used the 'universe sorceresses go crazy for lack of a knight' premise to claim that Ultimecia and Adel went crazy simply because they lack thier own knights.

We cannot just assume that, because the backstory of Adel within the game isn't widely available, let alone Ultimecia's. We do not know what happened to themselves before the events that have brought them here.

The game has shown us Adel's imprisonment. So, I firmly believe that Adel went crazy due to her imprisonment. How can anybody not to become insane after being imprisoned for a long period of time?

Her mindset changes when she's possessed. How is that not relevant?

Which A: Doesn't affect the relationship between Cid and Edea which occurred before this, and B: would affect everyone after it period, making your excuses for Cid not loving Edea utterly moot.
But everything in that destined timeline cannot just appear magically or appear out of no where so that destiny can be followed. Everything before that timeline must be fixed in order to fuel the wall of Destiny.

The burden of proof also lands on yourself if you want to disprove my statements. But that's irrelevant anyway, because this is not a theory. What I did was along the lines of "What could this [insert thing here] mean, and then I express my opinion." That doesn't necessarily mean that I'm asserting my opinion as fact.

Hence why I called them ancillary to the actual arguments. But it's not just misspelled words, kiddo. You're nigh incomprehensible at times.
Thank you, sir.

Which, AGAIN, does not address why Rinoa, not Squall, is affected while Squall is changing.
It wasn't just Rinoa that's affected

All my counterarguments are are pointing out gaps in your logic.
That's pretty hardcore. Pointing out gaps in anybody's opinion that's about the game.

No they aren't, and this isn't 'pulling something out of an egg' any more than any other drawing of a GF is.
Oh?

But RELATIONSHIPS are not among those things, so it's COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT.
I wasn't talking about relationships, I was talking about things such as time travel, time paradoxes and magic.

THE GAME ITSELF calls her EDEA.
But the game itself made Squall call her Matron.

I never said they didn't, and acting like I did is just another really valid point and i'm impressed by your thinking.. My argument is simply that EDEA IS HER NAME and MATRON IS NOTHING BUT A TITLE.
I have never neglected the fact that herself is actually Edea, not Matron. I was just trying to point out why Squall and the party called her Matron.

Because how do they know her from? The context of her running an orphanage.
They've learnt that Matron is Edea, and later into the game (especially at the ending), they still call her Matron.

They do not want to call her Edea because of what exactly happened at Deling's city.

That was what I was trying to say. Anything that is pointed at things other than arguments are indirected, and therefore irrelevant. Well, me replying to your counterclaims regarding English was of course irrelevant, but I didn't start it!

Isn't fantasy a pleasant situation that you enjoy thinking about, but which is unlikely to happen, or the activity of thinking itself? I don't see common sense or logic in that!

The diagram is utterly unnecessary in the first place.
I drew it to explain things better. It's not my fault as my English is terribly horrific.

No you haven't. You've even declared logic and common sense unnecessary, refuse to fulfill your burden of proof, commonly address things other than my counterarguments, and generally act in poor debate fashion.
I already have! You're just refusing to believe them because they don't make sense in terms of fantasy.

Again, what keeps Edea from simply telling someone else?
If Cid was nonexistent, imagine her telling one of the kids, "Yo, let's put some seed on the garden!"

I think she was lonely. And Cid just came out of no where to save her. All hail to Destiny, respect!

I wronged that word, sorry.
It's not relevant because of Destiny.

The information paradox IS a paradox.
Not all paradoxes needs to explode the known universe.
I think I need to get some drink.

How did this thread start from not serious to serious? I voiced my opinion in a very respectable manner and then ... all hell breaks loose!
