Who is ultimecia

Whether she killed everyone herself or was the only one capable of surviving is one of the many unanswered questions. Upon arriving at her castle, you will see a bunch of dead SeeD soldiers lying at her doorstep SeeD is the militia organization that Squall and his friends belong to.

Apparently, they tried to get her out, but they failed. When the battle begins, Ultimecia summons a beast, which is based on the jewelry Squall wore. This is a lion named Griever. Does this mean that there is some kind of connection between them? Again there is no answer. Finally, having survived a terrible battle in which the sorceress goes through a series of transformations Frieza, is that you? She could just be an empathetic villain with a really interesting backstory.

But she goes through part of the dialogue, and then she is killed. These breadcrumbs we received a few minutes before her death suggest that she went through something very traumatic and lost something irreplaceable — the awakening of her powers prompted her to do whatever she could to get it back.

There remains a mystery to which there is no definite answer. Fans have speculated about Ultimecia for years. She had no living heiress, so she chose a girl that was like a daughter to her and gave the girl her powers. But the powers must of rejected her so they went on to someone else, starting the succession.

If Squall and Rinoa had a child, it would be Hyne's true descendant. The true nature of time compression, unbeknownst to Ultimecia, is a way for the true descendant to travel to Ultimecia's compressed world and finally be rid of her.

This theory is rather new and it's unpolished, but this is who I think Ultimecia is, she is Hyne's dark side. Okay, feel free to demolish this, but it's just a theory. I have to say that a very intriguing theory. It confused me just a little bit, it has been a while since I have gotten to the end of the game so bear with me. Basically if Squall and Rinoa were to have a child it would be the perfect candidate to perfect time compression?

Like I said it has been a while since I have been to the end of the game, so I am a little rusty on the plot lines. MVP O. Gil 0 Mako Points 1. Decent theory, kinda makes sense. The part about the only way of defeating her with a child that is of her blood doesn't make sense though.

She takes over the body, but it's still Rinoa's blood, not her's. No special being would be created just because of the blood. The powers wouldn't be passed on unless Ultimecia chooses to take over the child's body. Not to perfect time compression, but to destroy Ultimecia. MVP said:.

Click to expand Hyne's spirit must of thought that Rinoa was special, because remember that when Edea was released from Ultimecia's control, she lost her powers. When Ultimecia was released from Rinoa, Rinoa retained her powers, so that must mean that Hyne had found her vessel.

Like I said, this is a theory and my own personal interpretation. I'm still working on it. Keep it up, it sorta makes sense. Thank you very much, it needs a little revising, but I think I'm getting there.

Because Rinoa being Ultimecia is just Not possible in my book. DeadFantasy Mysterious Warrior Veteran. Joined Dec 13, Messages 1, Location You want me? Rachiel Farrow said:. Rinoa being Ultimecia is just Raonak Newbie. Hyne was acually a dude, actually, more like a god. The cold-blooded tyrant that slaughtered countless men and destroyed many nations? Where is she now? She stands before your very eyes to become your new ruler. A new era has just begun. This is reality. No one can help you.

Sit back and enjoy the show. Rest assured, you fools. Your time will come. This is only the beginning. Let us start a new reign of terror. I will let you live a fantasy beyond your imagination. In the English version of Final Fantasy VIII , Ultimecia emphasizes the letter 'c' pronouncing it as a harder sound than normal transcribed as 'k's in the text.

However, during and after she evolves into her final form she loses this emphasis. She also doesn't speak this way in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series, or while possessing Edea.

Ultimecia has no accent in Japanese, and arrogantly uses omae to refer to the party, this usually being associated with male speech. Overall, she uses few feminine speech markers, which makes her sound rather like a male antagonist.

Ultimecia has a definitive sense of style: the interior of her castle is filled with faux-Victorian opulence. In Deling City , her waiting room is draped with sheer curtains, and while in Galbadia Garden , she reclines on a throne designed like a translucent flower with lights similar to the fronds of luminescent sea kelp.

Acting through the bodies of other sorceresses, Ultimecia is malevolent and manipulative and filled with anger and hate. Her background and motives are alluded to indirectly, the most significant being her inauguration speech in Deling City where she implies she had been persecuted due to being a sorceress, and the events surrounding the final battle. Ultimecia demonstrates a strategic and diplomatic mind, such as convincing the president of Galbadia to employ her as the nation's diplomat, as well as enticing Seifer Almasy , normally a hostile youth, to devote himself to her.

In Dissidia Final Fantasy Ultimecia manipulates Kuja into performing for her ends and tries to get Sephiroth to join her and Emperor Mateus in their quest of taking over the world, though they end up failing. In Dissidia , if defeated by someone other than Squall in Shade Impulse , Ultimecia is painted in a more tragic light where she implies that she tried to use time compression to return to her childhood.

Ultimecia is an immensely powerful sorceress who focuses on time and space manipulation. In the final battle she casts spells such as Bio , Quake , and Meteor , or absorbs fallen party members into time. Her final form has a devastating magical attack called Hell's Judgement that reduces HP to one point for the entire party, and she employs it often. Ultimecia can manifest and give life to subconscious thoughts and inanimate objects.

This includes giving life to Griever ; Ultimecia manifests it from Squall's subconscious, having found Griever to be his conception of the most powerful force that could exist, and brings him to life for battle against Squall himself.

Ultimecia seeks to become omnipotent through the absorption of all time, space, and existence. She can invade and control an individual's body and mind both internally and externally, and, through the use of Junction Machine Ellone , wields this ability throughout different eras.

Ultimecia can reach into a person's mind to steal or give life to thoughts, knowledge, and magic. Her ability to manipulate objects and matter has also led to some interesting junction forms.

Despite being a sorceress of time, Ultimecia rarely uses time-based spells, such as Haste , Slow or Stop in battle. It is unknown to what extent the magic used is from Ultimecia or from the host when possessing other sorceresses, but as Edea, Ultimecia can teleport and phase through solid matter, create a barrier to repel a bullet, use the powers of telekinesis, and cast fascination spells. Ultimecia's castle dominates the landscape in the era where she lives.

It is implied she is the sole ruler of her world, although besides fallen White SeeD no other inhabitants of her world are introduced, their fate unknown. Ultimecia is aware of her destined encounter with the "Legendary SeeD " and desires to bring about time compression to absorb all time, space and existence, becoming "a living god".

Ultimecia's plan is to send her mind far enough back in time to cast the time compression spell, but the Junction Machine has a limit; to get even further back in time, she needs to find a girl called Ellone with a natural gift to send people's consciousnesses through time, upon whose powers the junction machine was originally built.

Ultimecia uses Edea as a host to infiltrate the government of Galbadia , and is appointed ambassador of Galbadia by President Vinzer Deling. President Deling announces her appointment in the first worldwide televised broadcast in 17 years. The broadcast is interrupted when Deling is taken hostage on-air by Seifer Almasy, a renegade SeeD cadet. Ultimecia within Edea's body surfaces from a teleportation spell and offers to save him from his "predicament".

When Squall's SeeD party approaches her, they are paralyzed by her magic and Seifer allows Ultimecia to teleport him away to Galbadia. Although Seifer is announced executed, Ultimecia turns him into her sorceress' knight and makes him her personal guardian. Nonetheless, Deling continues to publicize his new ambassador and plans a parade in Deling City to honor her appointment. Unbeknown to Ultimecia, General Caraway of Galbadia and the SeeD mercenaries from Balamb Garden formulate a plan to assassinate her at the parade to prevent her from usurping power across the world.

General Caraway's daughter, Rinoa Heartilly , attempts to trick Ultimecia into taking a bangle created by Dr. Odine to seal away her sorceress power. Ultimecia seemingly recognizes the bangle, telekinetically disables Rinoa and takes control of her body, leading her to the balcony of the Presidential Palace.

Ultimecia ascends the podium to give her acceptance speech to the people of Galbadia with Rinoa in tow, but it is a speech of hatred. She declares herself the ruler of Galbadia, assuring the beginning of a "new reign of terror", and brings two Iguion statues on the side of the Arch of Triumph to life and orders them to devour Rinoa as a sacrifice.

Leaving Rinoa to her fate, Ultimecia boards her float that glides out into the street parade. As Ultimecia passes underneath the Arch of Triumph the gates trap her inside. The sniper working with the SeeDs, Irvine Kinneas , takes a shot at her from atop the clock tower, but she blocks the bullet with a protection spell.

Ultimecia is confronted by Squall, Irvine, and Rinoa who had been rescued from the Iguions , and is disgusted upon discovering Squall is a SeeD. Instead of killing Squall and his friends Ultimecia has them imprisoned in D-District Prison and orders Seifer to extract information from them via torture, namely, the reason SeeD persecute sorceresses.

The interrogation yields no results as the SeeD themselves have not been informed of their organization's true goal.
