As you know, Rinoa went to the dance to talk to Cid, to hire SeeD.This imagery is repeated again in Versus 13, granted it was never finished and recycled into FF15.Stella was replaced by Lunafreya. We could assume that Stella had dogs as well. What I've heard about Versus13's plot is that Stella's brother (Presumably Raven) was breaking into the vault to steal the crystal.

Transplanting these story elements back onto FFVIII creates an interesting what-if scenario. What if Rinoa was a thief and train robber?She came to the dance to talk to Cid. Perhaps she intercepted something that wasn't meant for her. A tracker meant for Ellone, perhaps. Or even Dr. Odine's Magic Sealing Bangle.See, it doesn't make sense for her to hire SeeD, make them travel by train, to meet them, on their train, and then act surprised that SeeD came at all. It would make more sense that they're helping out the Forest Owls, to reclaim this special jewelry, or even a special painting. NORG also resembles Owzer, the Art Collector from FF6.

Another sense that dogs have is hearing.Whenever Squall and company enter "dreamland" it is accompanied by a high pitched sound.I was going to bring this up earlier. Angelo, not going to space, probably had a greater narrative purpose. Because after they launched, Angelo runs out of the Lunar Gate, causing the party to chase her. She's the first to "hear" the Lunatic Pandora floating over Esthar.BUT. This is interesting...
>Did you know?
Angelo is based off a Black Australian Shepard.
This breed is prone to congenital deafness, due to a lack of pigment cells in the ears. This is related to the white markings on their face.
When the white covers their eyes, they also lack pigment and appear blue.Angelo doesn't appear to be deaf, but she does have white inner ears. Suggesting maybe she should be.In horses, this white facial marking would be called a blaze, and it's also related to genetic abnormalities. "Lethal white syndrome". Breeders are cautioned to looked for a "frame" pattern in prospective parents, horses that carry these genetic traits for unpigmented patches can result in foals with an underdeveloped digestive tracts and shortened nerve endings. They're basically doomed.

Oh, you want to hear more about the other Timber Resistance Groups? They seemingly all had "forest" in the game. Forest Foxes, Forest Owls, Forest Duck.President Deling gathered them up and sent them to D-Prison. That's Dingo Desert. So we could infer that dingos are native to the Galbadia continent. Lions (wings or no) must also be an animal. Although Rinoa mistook the one on Squall's ring as a monster. Moombas are lion-like and work in the prison. Since they're slaves, it's not unthinkable that Moombas were also used as soldiers to hunt down Resistance Member families.
President Deling executed Zone and Watts' fathers in front of them.Chocobos literally have their own forests, but there aren't any Chocobo forests on Galbadia.

I just scanned FF8's transcript and realized the deal with Quistis is that nobody listens to her.With Seifer, they at least acknowledge that he doesn't listen to anyone. But with Squall, she tells him that she just wants him to listen.
This could explain her sympathy towards Rinoa during the assassination mission. She realized nobody was listening to her either.

Anon09/03/25, 06:45No.3838166
It's possible some areas in the game were intended to be completely different locations.
For example, we know the Seaside Train Station just before the Salt Lake was drafted as the D-Desert station based on the concept pencil art.In the final game, Laguna's party finds the Lunatic Pandora excavation site on Centra. However, the very first area map is a roped road path that's very similar to the ones on the Trabia mountain path. Since Laguna's story is untold for the most part, we don't actually know what the sequence of events should have been.We know he ended up in the Shumi Village at some point, saved by a Moomba after falling off a mountain trying to get into Esthar. I feel like Laguna's poor sense of direction was really just an excuse to cover up the rushed development.Like, the Lunatic Pandora is this 3 mile high floating tower. The position and the Pandora labs and the Trabia crater suggest that the pandora can scale mountains. So it's a wonder Laguna didn't see it sooner.I'm just saying that Trabia Crater could have just as easily have been the excavation site.

Long story short, the "gods" created humans as tools. And then went to sleep.This is identically to the myth of Hyne, told by the old man in Balamb. Only the humans were meant to demolish a mountain.
When Hyne awoke and saw that humans had multiplied, he tried to cull the the children. But that made everyone angry, and he had to split his body in half to escape.Coincidentally, Xenogears also has a culling event call the Diabolos Collapse, involving humans that could channel aether.
For Ultima in FF16, humans that can channel aether are the ideal host bodies.

There's a lot going on in Dollet that you don't realize.You hit the beach, and the first team is looking for a information network cable to tap into.A new term is added to the help menu. Explaining that most countries don't communicate with each other because of the mysterious radio interference. They only suspect it has something to do with the moon. Anyways, only short range transmissions are possible. That's why Selphie has to relay messages on foot.When you cross the bridge, you rescue Dollet soldiers from monsters.
Another new term is added to the help menu. Monsters. It actually tells you at this point that monsters rain down from the moon during a lunar cry. So all the monsters you are fighting are ones that have bred on the planet since the last lunar cry. Some animals are mutated as well by the strange energy.The Dollet soldier wonders what Galbadia wants with the Communication tower. He said he used to play in it as a kid, but now it's infested with monsters.We don't learn more until Disc 3 that the radio interference is actually the powerful seal on Adel's Tomb. But I suspect this was a revision, and that the writers were originally going in a different direction.Because there's a theme here that countries are seeking connection.
Ellone's power is literally called connection. See?

Yojimbo's dog is named Daigoro.In World of Final Fantasy (Maxima Edition) he also has a 2nd dog named Gamit.
He's really hard to get to. The quest: "The Power of the Moon Will Make the Phantom Flower Bloom" is locked behind hidden quest in some of the longest dungeons.In this game, Yojimbo is guarding the "Night Queen" flower. Which blooms in the desert under the moon. It's partly reenacting FF4's quest to cure Rosa's desert fever.In FF4 is was the "Desert Light" in Japanese, and "Sandpearl/ Desert Ruby" in English versions, guarded by antlions.Now, in FF8, the help menu term "Moon" explains the power of the moon makes people forget. Raine's favorite flower was white, and she believed in replacing forgotten memories.If Ellone's power connected people to memories, and this memories could be erased, then perhaps they could also be replaced with new memories. We've all heard about shaping the future for ourselves; why not the past too?

WoFF is super fascinating in the way it blends all the final fantasy characters together into a single continuity.For instance. they don't have Ellone, but they have Shelke.Shelke is supposed to have a sister. But in WoFF she is given a "dream" by Diabolos implying she had a brother.

Shelke has the ability to perform network dives. She "dives into networks and gathers data fragments".While she, herself, hasn't been featured in the Remakes, the infrastructure that is the platform of her abilities is seen in Rebirth, with the Remnawave Towers, which Chadley also uses.

Going into Esthar there's this console you can interact with that controls the camo panels that hide Esthar. 6th or 7th time beating the game and I still found little details and new dialog like that.
I did a "battle almost everything run" and you know, the contention that "leveling makes the game harder" is bollocks. After you level enough you scale much more than enemies AND you have better magic, abilities, and items. It was significantly more fun than a low-level run.

It's a lot easier to grind lv1 to 99 in WoFF.
Did it with my moomba mirage.
Moomba is a mid size transfiguration of the courel. So its got status effect attacks with a chance to inflict death.
It went a long ways until another mirage learned doom, which was much faster and more reliable.The trophy for mastering 100 mirage boards it still torture. It was a lot easier to get Seifer to 100.
Most boards max out at level 60 or 70. And the AP is free to use again after transfiguring mirages to recolored variants. So mastering 1 is mastering 2 or 3 in some cases. But it makes it harder to keep track of trophey progression.

In WoFF, you play as "Jiants", Lann and Reynn, who have the ability to summon mirages and "imprism" them. Although I think the prisms are actually called "Garden Gems" in japanese.
All the other NPCs and FF cameo "champions" are "Lilikins".In the Meli-Melo mobile games, player play as their own Lilikin, but they also have the ability to summon mirages as "Garden users". However, unlike Balamb Garden in WoFF, Meli-Melo garden seems to be more of a literal farm-ville type "social" game app.The mobile app was only available in Japan for a year before it ended it's service. So I can't dig up much on unique story content.In WoFF, Squall talks about his dream to "fill the world with flowers". Like an actual flower garden.

It sounded more like a threat or promise. He's part of the "Disciplinary Committee". But in the French version he and the garden staff are called "Templars".SeeD is a mercenary group. In Galbadia Garden you could graduated into SeeD or the Galbadia Army.I like to imagine that Balamb Garden had an alternate course as well. Explaining the Garden Master vs Headmaster faction on disc 2.The garden staff were kind of killjoys, but in retrospect they were pretty obsessed with perceptions and stressed they represent "this" garden.Which begs the question of what goes on in Trabia Garden. Since Selphie had to transfer to Balamb to take the SeeD exam. I believe NORG was probably meant to be the Trabia headmaster. And the staff were actually meant to be Trabia warrior monks or something.

Actually, in Japanese Edea's name is more like "Idea". So it could have been a Connect Edea Device.There's this strange thing that happens on disc 3. Rinoa is in a coma. Squall is able to talk to Ellone in the dream world, Ellone thinks "Oops, I must be asleep". And she basically tells Squall that she's given up trying to change the past. Meaning no more dream sequences. Right?Except there's 1 more when you get Esther. Was this Ellone's doing? Or was it Ultimecia trying to connect to Edea (who's in their party) not realizing Edea doesn't have sorceress powers anymore.This dream sequence tells us what happened to Adel. Potentially informing Ultimecia of Adel's whereabouts as well (if she didn't already know).
A
Anon10/02/25, 20:28No.3853019
I keep coming back to the question of who is Adel in the FF series. Because archetypes get repeated. But she's never given a back story.Shelke in Dirge of Cerberus can dive into virtual networks. Potentially, Adel had the same ability over a wireless network. Which is why her tomb created Radio Interference. It also makes sense that Adel ruled over Esthar, the most technologically advanced country, because she could puppet their robots, airship, and even missiles.That could explain how the Ragnarok got "lost". They launched Adel into space, and she attempted to hijack the ship before the radio interference jammed her connection.Of course, Rinoa was in a "young" Adel before allowing Ultimecia to compress time. So you have to wonder what Adel "knew" and if she was fulfilling destiny or avoiding it. Staging the Ragnarok to rescue Rinoa and Squall.I've traced the concepts surrounding Irvine and Vincent in Dirge of Cerberus as well. Even though their personalities don't exactly align, there's something about Shelke resembling Selphie/Ellone.
