Hydan I have to disagree with your last bit of input there..because you have Adel and Rinoa in the same time period..really The sorceress powers pass on from death to death kind of thing, ya know? Adel never died so she had the power still...and Rinoa got her powers from Edea..but she didn't die!...arg...but I know what you said isn't true

[hydan]

when Adel come out of sleep Edea didn't have no powers.
Rinoa didn't have the power from Edea.
Only one with power at any one time

I think Hydan's right. Lemme see if I can figure this out here.

Edea gets her powers from Ultimecia, yes?
Edea loses her powers when Adel is reawakened.
Adel passes her powers onto Rinoa? Or does Rinoa get them before Adel dies?

I've got no clue. But I still agree with Big D's theory about innate magical abilities. In a way, kind of like the FFVI Spoiler: village of mages. Not the same, but in the sense that they all were born with a bit of magical ability. And no, I'm not saying that everyone in VIII descends from magical-types. Just tryin to give examples.

In the Tutorial, it says that there are more than a few Sorceresses, just that most of them don't flaunt their power because of prejudice.

What about Angelo? Invincible Moon seems pretty magical to me, especially since there are no spells (only items) to make your party invincible. So, obviously, Angelo must be a sorceress. Or would that be sorcerer? Aw, frickin' hell, he's a dog!

So we've got R=U and now S=U. Scary. Why not:

Quistis=U?
Edea=U?
Xu=U?
Aeris=U?
and my personal favorite,
Laguna=U? (that's right, Spoiler: Ultimecia had a sex change once, and is actually Squall's daddy! "Suall, I am your father!

OK, I've had my fun for this evening.

lol@Aeris=U

wow.....i had no idea selphie was so powerful....lol

Other than the magical ability...there is nothing to imply in the game that selphie could be a sorceress...if she was one or could be one.

If you remember, Adel was the first boss on Disk 4, and Squall rescued Rinoa from the Sorceress Memorial towards the end of Disk 3.

I think my theory of Ellone being a sorceress is quite sound. Heck E might = U, what with both seeming to have the ability to send their minds back through time (granted Ellone sends other people's minds back, but doesn't she also experiance the dreams of those who get sent back through time?).

[PhoenixAsh]

I think Ultimecia was going back in time because she needed Ellone, it would be kinda pointless if she could do it herself. She coulod send herself back because of Odine's machine.

I know a lot of theories about someone=U are just jokes, but it's getting a bit annoying. R=U is there to explain things it isn't just an idea someone had because it's possible.
