Okay, so I spend some time on Eyesonff Forums...anyone whose been there, knows one certain member...Serapy, known for finding a theory for EVERY little thing, coincidence or not in FF games, particularly FF8.
For example, he has over 100 threads, devoted to the U = R theory (Ultimecia = Rinoa)
Anyway, this got me in the mock-theory mood. Wherein I make theories that are based on simple graphical changes to certain pics..
Anyway, here it is, Wierd Graphics, And Mock Theory Number 1...
S + R = C
Squall + Rinoa = Cloud!
Here we see Rinoa, before, and during the Game, such a pretty young girl..
And of course, we have Squall. Our brooding Loner...
SPOILERS BELOW, STOP READING NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT FF8 Spoiled >_< (Also, this is all obviously n.c. xD)
Now...we all know how much Rinoa just ADORES squall...so much even, that after the Game...she decided to get a Haircut to try and match Squall..
Now..hmm..I wonder what their child would look like, don't you?
Well, you're about to find out, through the miracle of Crack-Graphics Editing! =D
Now, do you all see what I saw there...bears a VERY striking resemblance to Cloud from FF7:AC, even maybe the KH2 version..
Here's a Recap for ya.
But wait, there's more to keep this theory going!
"Thats Impossible, They are two different worlds, and timelines, IT DOESN'T WORK! D<"
Some of you may be thinking the above...but ah..Lets go back to the U = R theory!
If indeed, Ultimecia = Rinoa...then...It is entirely plausible that this was able to happen...through the miracles of..
TIME COMPRESSION!
In Time Compression, all timelines become one, there is no past, present, future, its all just there! While "there" it happened!
And if you're not sold yet...Take a look here...
Here we see Griever, Squalls Symbol, which he idolizes, the Lion...
Click for Griever!And oh...whats this...Cloud's symbol...The Wolf...
Hmm...They both idolize and/or relate to an Animal...particularly Wolves and Lions...Hmm..
Still not bought? Thought so! Here's more for the theory! (The rest is just text xD)
Squall is a SeeD...what do SeeD's do? They are Sorceress Slayers first and foremost..but also Mercenaries!
...What was Cloud's profession? MERCENARY!
Now lets look at some possible Genetic things that were passed down..
Braver - Climhazard - Rough Divide... Squall rushes forward and cuts up through The enemy, with such force that the ground below cracks! Hmm...Braver is almost the exact opposite, Cloud jumping up and bringing it down through the enemy...And Climhazzard also Drags the blade up through the enemy, albeit after stabbing into the enemy..HMM...
Blade Beam - Meteorain - Fated Circle... Squall jumps into the air, spinning around, releasing a wave of non-elemental "Fire-like" energy, or plasma, which hits all enemies...Hmm...Blade Beam releases a wave of energy that hits all enemies...And Meteorain Deals non-elemental "Fire" damage to all enemies...NOTE HERE! Junctioning Meteor to Elemental Defense raises your Defense against Fire...HMM...
Finishing Touch - Blasting Zone...Squall raises his Gunblade, channeling his energies into an Enormous beam of energy which he then brings down on his enemies, which deals heavy damage, usually one-hitting most enemies...Finishing touch is also a Death move similar, however Cloud uses his energy to create a Tornado which takes Enemies far far away...HMM...
And last but not least! Omnislash - Lionheart...Squall unleashes a flurry of attacks, that with one series of Lionheart, is usually more than enough to kill all but the most powerful of enemies...hmm..Cloud does almost exactly the same! Though his gets more hits in, and therefore more damage, but this is because he feels the need to show up Father..
HMM...
Just some more SMALL connections between the two..
Cloud Rides in Cid's airship, Highwind...
Squall's first REAL mobility comes from Cid's Balamb Garden (Centra Shelter)
HMM
Squall's biggest Rival is an old 'friend' almost a brother, from when they were orphans...
Cloud's biggest Rival is also this, also an old Hero...Literally brothers, as they are clones..
HMM...
Both Squall and Cloud are destined to be with the Raven-haired Heroine of the game...(Rinoa and Tifa)
Cloud befriends Red XIII (Nanaki), an almost Lion-like being...
Ever wonder what a Moomba would look like if it was even more animalistic...Can anyone say, Red XII...
And that my friends, is Mock theory, number 1...I will definitely be making more, and if you want me to make a specific Mock theory, post here letting me know, and I will do it (Yes, I will take requests) and I will even research some so I know what I'm talking about!
*NOTE! I don't believe any of the Mock Theories I post, hence Mock xD*
