Maybe when Edea killed Squall, the timelines split into two: one where he died, and Rinoa became Ultimecia out of her grief, and one where he lived on and became Rinoa's guardian. The two timelines eventually converged and Rinoa died by the blade of her beloved. It's kinda poetic, in a way. I'm just gonna go with "he got lucky and lived" and "Ultimecia is just a random witch who's PO'd at everyone and wants to destroy the world". Makes things way simpler.

Wait if Squall dies, then it makes sense that the Rinoa theory makes kinda more sense, like Rinoa somehow ends up as Ultimecia, and doing the same thing, creating an infinite time loop everytime Rinoa witnesses Squall getting killed by Ultimecia, and becoming her in the future or not? 🧐🤔 EDIT: Damn im now confused by my own words and of what I was trying to say lol

For all wondering, squall didn’t die. It’s been debunked for some time

FF: VIII was my introduction to the franchise. Loved playing it despite some of it's more unusual aspects. I would listen to the game's music again. If I can.

One thing I don't see a lot of discussion of is how easily Sephiroth became the main antagonist of FF7 when all the evidence throughout the games and outside media point to the fact that Jenova is just wearing Sephiroth's image like a skin suit.

Ok, so the Aerith dialogues post-death is a thing but it stops a bit after icicle-inn. My theory is that Aerith's death was originally meant to happen after Cloud gives Sephiroth the Black Materia at the Northern Crater. Because you return to the Forgotten City after Cloud regains his memories just for Bugenhagen to tell you that Aerith meant to be sacrificed (something that could've been done in Cosmo Canyon). The devs moved it to the end of disc 1 for whatever reason. But realized that Aerith sacrificing herself then didn't make sense since you hadn't given Sephiroth the black materia yet. So, they have Cloud give it to Sephiroth right after the Temple of the Ancients. Then give it back to the party in the Northern Crater just so things can make sense with Cloud originally giving Sephiroth the materia there as originally intended for the story.

I think the faces of eve is more like writing technique to diversify the personalities of the characters. Its also very prominent in most animes.

I think Ultimecia is Julia, Rinoa's mother. I always think about that scene where she's playing piano and Laguna comes in and they talk for the first time, and I always wonder: Why would Square go out of their way to make such a detailed, drawn-out scene for a character that is never mentioned, shown, or brought up again, unless she has something to do with the grand scheme of things? Plus they both wear a red dress, and it would explain why Ultemica looks something like Rinoa but not EXACTLY like Rinoa (Ultimecia is taller, has a larger chest, etc).

Gilgamesh isn’t a theory; it’s outright confirmed in multiple games. Every iteration of Gilgamesh outside of FF15 is the same character

1. biggs and wedge are from star wars a new hope 2. yes they do share the same universe in dissidia

Lol "Garden Fighters" 😂

oooo.. Eiko, Dagger, Freya!!!

Yeah those “Garden Fighters” sure are useful in battles

Ultimecia at least has some relation to Rinoa cause whatever you tell Rinoa what the name of Squall's ring is during the Galbadian Garden battle becomes the name of Ultimecia's GF

1) SEPHIROTH IS JESUS! - That segment legit made me lol. Well done sir! 2) Loved the Wedge and Biggs shout out. To this day I still stick to the Narshe Esper as it's OG North American given name of Tritoch. Also, I will always prefer Aeris to Aerith. 3) Iv-Ah-Leece!!! not Eye-Val-eece Aaargh! though I could never stand Tactics (I sucked at it full disclosure) and I had a hard time sticking to the FF XII story, this is a window I will jump out of. 4) 3 Faces of Eve - Don't go on! OMG Staaaahp! I'm 42 and have been through so much Final Fantasy and this is THE FIRST TIME I've heard this theory and holy effing hell its hitting me in the FACE right now!! 5) I always was like WTF - re: Squall being ok after Disc 1 ending. There was 0 explanation to that ish. However, I can't get behind the "theory". FF X did that WAY better IMO. 6) GG list!

The FFVIII theory was debunked by the creators. They literally laughed and said that he did not perish. “They have healing magic” was their response.

The XII/Tactics/Vagrant Story theory isn't, they are a confirned shared world which is part of something called "The Ivalice Alliance". And there are more than those 3 games within that. Tactics Advance as well. Also, who are Bahaemut and Edie?

Yeah the Squall dies theory never made sense to me. This is a world where magic exists. It stands to reason that Squalls captors would want to keep Squall alive for questioning, so they used magic to heal him.

My roommate in college forever ago had a pretty convincing theory, possibly a combination of R=U and Squall is Dead, that Rinoa actually died during the sequence with Adel or Squall actually failed to save her during the Ragnarok retrieval. His case was built on Rinoa's LB change in Disc 4, which gives her more of an angelic posture (probably justified because Angelo couldn't follow through time compression) and a very quick flashback in the end credits of Rinoa being dead in her space suit, the visor glass shattered. Almost certainly not true and has a lot of holes but it's fun to think about.
