Ultimecia's Parting Words

Kain_Highwind · 05:51 AM

I'll bet this has been done before, but too bad. I simply want to hear some people's thoughts on Ulti's last words (I think I've got them all correct, let me know if I don't):

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...

And..........? And what? Just "and?" Is that it? No deep, thought provoking finish to your interesting little speech? Come on Ultimecia, I'd think an all-powerful sorceress could do better than that.

Anyway, either I completely missed something, or this is one of those passages that can be interpreted just about an infinite number of ways. What does everyone think? This thread is purely for speculation, so there is no right or wrong. Unless I did miss something. Which is probably true.

EDIT: Oh, and this is assuming Ulti and Rinoa have absolutely nothing to do with each other besides the fact that they are both sorceresses. Thanks for reminding me.

Thanks for posting them. I was too nervous about killing her to care about reading it.

And...i am not Rinoa.

I think that´s what she wanted to say.

Exactly!

To symbolize the lack of time in life, she never goes further than "and..."

The reason for the open ending with the ambiguous "and..." is readily apparent if you merely glance at what she says just before that: "Time, it will not wait". The fact that Ultimecia never finishes her sentence is meant to drive this point home, although most people don't really notice this obvious purpose. That's all there is to it; no secret information being snuffed from us or anything.

Anyway, I personally see it as Ultimecia talking about fate, and how they cannot escape it no matter how hard they try (this was essentially the lesson she learned by being defeated by Squall after all). But yeah, she could be talking about a whole lot of things...

Yep, it's to emphasize "time will not wait". At least, I think so.

Besides, I think the way her speech ended was really good. It makes you wonder what she was going to say...well, other than "I am not Rinoa!"

It was so that you could make up your own theories regarding what she says after that. It made her defeat more dramatic I guess.
