@Captain:
Where'd that theory come from?! It was pretty obvious she ws from the far distant future, was heavily persecuted, and hated the world with a passion for it.
I have no idea where it started, its a thing thats perculated on the web for years.
I think its mostly because Ultimecia's summon has the same name as Squall's ring, or something like that. (Griever, I think?)
The Theory:
Due to the long lifespan caused by sorceress powers, Rinoa outlives all the other characters. In order to ease the pain of loseing Squall; Rinoa changes his ring, Greiver, into a GF and junctioned it to herself (or she may have just based the GF off of the ring, something along those lines). To her, Squall was the greatest person to ever live. As a result, Greiver was the strongest GF ("The most powerfull GF…. You shall....Suffer!"). But like the other GF, junctioning Greiver caused the diterioration of memory. Eventualy, all Rinoa knew was that she was a sorceress. She had even forgotten her own name, wich is why she took a new one -Ultimecia. Ultimecia knew only one thing about her past, and that was the fact that she had been happy back then. She wanted to be happy again, she didn't want to feel sorrow any more. That's why she sought out time compression. So that past, present, and future would all become one and the happyness of her past could be felt in her present and on into her future.
Points that support the theory:[hide]
-Rinoa and Ultimecia have a very similar apperance.
-Ultimecia has Rinoa's angel wings. Although anyone can obtain magic wings my useing float. Rinoa is the only one capable of obtaining true wings such as the ones Ultimecia has.
-Ultimecia has Greiver, wich she couldn't have without a connection to Squall.
-Ultimecia's castle was located at the very same place where Squall and Rinoa promised each other that they would be.
-Ultimecia's guardians have a few of your GFs wich you can draw if you missed then earlier in the game. As the last surviving team member, Rinoa had all the team's GFs.
-One of the team's GFs is also a guardian in Ultimecia's castel (Bahamut/Tiamat).
-Ultimecia's strongest guardian is Omega Weapon, an advanced form of Ultima Weapon. Squall and company were the only people to ever see Ultima Weapon and live. [/hide]
There's probably more, but that's all I can remember at this moment. There is also of course, things against it, and if that was really the game designers intent, they did a really piss poor job of getting that plot point across. Its basically just fan speculation with very little to support it, but it adds huge ammounts of depth to both Rinoa and Ultimecia if you pretend/assume its the case.
@Cuddles:
And on another note, who would you like to see in a sequel
Red XIII dammit. And Freya.
Never happen, because the gameplay mechanic would be too different for Red XIII, and theres a bunch of other FF7 characters people like better. But I can dream.
Not MY ideal choices, but the ones that make sense.
-Moogle from some game or another
4-Kain is a shoo in, as hero or villain. If summons weren't already implemented, it would be Rydia.
6-Locke.
7-Tifa/Aeris, (Barret, while being a large black man with a machine gun hand and thus totally unique… doesn't have boobs)
8-Seifer seems likely. I...guess... Zell is popular.
9-Vivi, as a representative of all black mages
10-Yuna, with her X-2 dress sphere abilities
12-Balthier
ALSO, to people leveling up in Dissidia for the first time. You can cheat your bonus day by resetting your PSP's calender. Eventually its really not needed as you get bonuses practically every day, but if you need that extra boost in minimal free time early on...
