Does this board allow the discussion of Final Fantasy VIII? I love Final Fantasy VIII, do you?

7/10 story
10/10 world map, soundtrack, bestiary, and everything else. It's still one of my all-time favorites, and the card game is still addictive.

They never explained by Ultimecia had a GF named after Squall's necklace

Probably. Even her personal GF is Griever, Squall's necklace.

Didn't he later backtrack and say Squall might be dead?

I think Squall died, but future-Rinoa helped him finish out his "final" fantasy before his soul was laid to rest.

Rinoa has the same facial structure to ulti

Rinoa says to squall, she would only be happy if he killed her- he kills ulti

A witch cannot die until she passed on her power- ulti dies when she passed on power to edea

Ultimecia's GF is literally the ring squall gave rinoa

A witch will slowly lose her mind when her knight dies, squall is rinoa's knight.

Ultimecia has no character development unless she is a character we already know. Also unlike other villains her final words are very cryptic

"Reflect on your...childhood...your sensation...your words...your emotions.......Time...it will not wait...no matter...how hard you hold on...it escapes you...and......."

Her motivation is entirely to stop time. What from her past is she trying to save

I just finished ff8 and I realized something...
Ultemecia is actually pretty difficult. I never could beat her as a kid but as I'm going through everything I honestly have no clue how I could have even really done it.
I was at 82 I believe... I died the first time but I had quistis who was lvl 16 and I think she she lowered the grievers level but holy shit this final boss is actually kinda hard especially since you couldn't get all of the GFs unless you had a guide.

My first playthrough as a kid I missed out on doomtrain and tonberry because how the hell could anyone figure that out honestly?
Eden was weird I missed her also but I skipped the deep sea and just drew from tiamat.

if this actually was true, FF8 would be a much more celebrated game than it is today.....it would be a tragic love story with all of its characters locked in an endless time loop of fate....
