With Doan, who should be gone, as I can't imagine the future being just the same with the day of Lavos averted, unless you're gonna start messing with parallel universes.īesides, I happen to think FF VIII has dealt quite well with the time travelling stuff.Sure you get paradoxes, but CT has those too. Magus being defeated, The Reptites defeated.Īlso, at the end it gets really confusing. On the other hand, on other occasions, whatever the heroes do ends up causing what happened in teh first place anyway. When Marle 'kills her own grandmother'so to speak, the suggestion is that there's one timeline, and you can alter it. Somehow I like it better then any of the final fantasies (which is odd, as I'm not THAT impressed with the SNES generation) but IMHO it doesn't concern itself much with logical consistency, concentrating on good clean fun.

Well the designers of Chrono Trigger handled it quite well. (eventhough, according to me, he knows he's gonna lose her someday) There's still an open thread on this discussion, so I'll leave it at that.Īnd yes, eventually he's still there and kisses Rinoa. You KNOW it's gotta be bad for Squall to actually cry) Us supporters think we see (and the detractors deny) that Rinoa's face turns into Ulti's in the scene, and her face is rather often put next to her face. Yes, according to us that is basically Squall going through time compression and seeing that Rinoa will turn into Ultimecia. Edea told Chid, and Cid told Squall and Squall told Edea and. There is ONE timeline, and Edea ALWAYS had Squall telling her about SeeD. Hey, if metaphysics people are hgard pressed to agree on a sensible explanation for temporal mechanics, how do you expect game designers to deal with that stuff?īecause of the liberally tossing around of the word 'fate' and Ellone's mentioning about the failure of her plans to change the past, I would say FFVIII goes with 'one timeline' argument.
