Sorry zero chance, I'm not totally convinced, I shouldn't really be discussing this as it's been a while since I played this game but I'm going to risk looking like a fool anyways as I have such high self esteem that no one here can think of an insult harsh enough to hurt me.
"""- Ultimecia's GF is Griever. But how is that possible? Griever is the name of the lion emblazoned on Squall's jewelry, which he practically made up on the spot to impress Rinoa. Unless, of course, the GF Griever was created in honor of Squall. """
I THINK Griever was said to be a ledgendary/mythical GF, the strongest GF in the world and that was why squall carried its emblem around with him. It was his totem, just like people carry around charms with unicorns and such, it is a symbol they wish to represent themselves with.
""""- Where is Ultimecia's castle located? Over the flowering fields at Edea's orphanage. The place where Squall promises that he'd meet Rinoa if ever they get separated.""""
Sorry got no answer for that, ya got me there.
"""- Sorceress' are immortal. They don't age, while everybody around them does. You'll see why this is significant in a moment."""
This seems sort of right because of the lengths that Laguna and co went to seal Adel's? (can't remember that sorceress' name sorry) powers, in that space base, remember they had that woman in some sort of ice thing. But then again there was that idea that a sorceress had to pass on their powers to a suitable candidate when they DIE, so maybe they were only immortal in the sense that if no one killed them they could theoretically live forever (i.e. vampires)?
"""- Ultimecia has wings. Rinoa's sorceress powers manifested themselves as angel wings. Ultimecia's wings are black, however, possibly symbolizing how she has been corrupted."""
I thought that the whole wing thing had something to do with them both being sorceresses (try saying that word 3 times fast), but I could be wrong.
"""- The final is hard to tell because of the way that it's presented, but Ultimecia's facial structure in the ending cinematic closely resembles Rinoa."""
Nope sorry that point is not worth debating as it is too unsure.
Well the problem with this discussion is that I don't believe that we will ever have an answer, the great (IMO it is great, this is a terible thing IOPO?) thing about these Japanese RPGs is the very fact that not every question is answered properly thus giving us tons of loose ends and keeping us guessing forever. Just like a good book or film pretty much never has a clean cut ending with everything explained fully, these RPGs are the same. I've seen so many different interpretations on all sorts of games, books, films etc that I've come to the conclusion that no one and everyone is right, just get what you want out of the story and be prepared for some serious debate whenever you encounter someone else who is equally passionate about it.
Interesting interpretation zero chance, I'm not sure if I'm converted but it adds another idea for me to consider, which is always welcome.
