I believe that i was stated on an un-official site. But, it did explain a lot. It was also posted a while back. It may or may not be true, but subtle hints in dialogue suggest that Rosa and Kain were something at one time. Why else would Kain be overly jealous.

The way I saw it. If someone picked someone over me, without ever having a relationship with either one of us, i'd be jealous, but not angry. However, if someone did have a relationship with me, and then stopped the relationship for someone else (esp. someone in a higher rank) I'd be incredibly angry, hurt and jealous. As we see in Kain's character, he is much like the second scenario....

Excuse me while I go and dig up the old thread I read about it on.

Eh, it's a good theory, but I see it as more of a deal where all three of them grew up together, both fell for Rosa, but Rosa only had feelings for Cecil. I really dont think Kain deeply resented Cecil, there was jealous there because of Rosa, and because of the Dark Knight deal, but it didnt become hatred until Golbez began to manipulate him. And even then, the it wasnt that deeply set, just something easily manipulated by Golbez.

But yeah, it's a neat theory, just dont state it as fact next time. I get confused.

I never said there was a hatred. But an anger and jealousy that I believe was deeply rooted. Golvez/Zemus (who ever controlled Kain, but i believe it was Zemus). And it's much more likely to believe. I don't think Kain would have carried as much anger as he did if it were any other way. He even states to Cecil that he is the better warrior. (Don't remember exact quotes) thus showing his want and belief to be superior to cecil. when he tells Rosa when she is helf captive by Golbez that soon she'll never have to worry about Cecil again(or something, again not sure of quotes), and she pleads to him and he hesitates as he leaves.

BTW: the thread was older than 3 pages back and deleted, checked archives too.

[TheAbominatrix]

I understand. Just make sure you state it's a theory nexttime.
