The most moving moment in Final Fantasy 8

Earlier this month I finished replaying FF8. It had been quite a few years since I last played it, and this was my first time playing the remastered version. It was fun, but one moment in particular really stuck out to me this time through. After defeating the final boss, and everyone's drifting through time, Squall ends up back in front of the orphanage. After he sees Edea chasing his younger self, and Squall amusingly mentions that the little boy won't actually run away, Ultimecia shows up. She's on death's door and no longer a real threat. Edea then willingly takes her powers, knowing how much harder her life will be because of it. She does this to ensure that Ellone, Selphie, and Quistis aren't at risk of inheriting Ultimecia's powers. Edea isn't the only one who makes a huge personal sacrifice in this scene though.

After a brief conversation, and Edea outright stating Squall needs to return to his own time, the moment I'm talking about happens. Squall nearly leaves, but then suddenly decides to tell Edea about SEED. He even stops to ponder telling her for a moment, and then decides almost on impulse to go ahead and explain everything to her. Squall sets in motion the events that will cause himself immense suffering. Ellone having to leave him without explanation, his other friends being adopted and leaving him. As well as the hell of having to grow up as essentially a child soldier, and the hardship that entails. Including memory loss, loneliness, and not knowing why the hell Cid and many of the others even expect so much of him.

I'd never thought much of this scene until this play through. I just took it for granted he did it almost as an afterthought, just Squall being diligent as always. I didn't grasp the implications of him accepting his own destiny as The Legendary SEED. And he obviously doesn't do it for the glory, or even just for his loved ones. He's affirming to himself that his life is worth it, despite the pain.

I think it's the culmination of all of Squall's character development. And as much as I love the moments Squall has with Rinoa and the rest of the party, I like that he completes this last part of his journey without them. Essentially affirming his own life, and saying all the pain and suffering would be worth it. Not just because he'd meet Rinoa and reconnect with the others, but also because he's come to value himself again. Or maybe even for the first time.

I'm sure many people have already written about this, and I'm just slow lol. Still, I thought it was a very moving moment and wanted to write about it. I think it's one of the better uses of a time loop I've seen.

FF8 Theory - The True Origin of Sorceresses

In the background of Final Fantasy 8, they tell the origin of the Sorceresses and it's rooted in the story of a being known as the Great Hyne. Here's what we first hear in Balamb:

That's the basic story in the beginning. We more details later in the game in the White SeeD ship. Let me summarize:

Th Legend of Vascaroon says Hyne was the ruler of the world that created Humans. Like before, Hyne surrendered half his body, then there was a war for control of that half. Vascaroon was the one that pointed out - what was left behind was Hyne's skin. (Maybe not his entire half-body.)

The ultimania books have one final version of the story called -

Aru Hi no Garden no Jugyō Fūkei

The story says Hyne created the world, created Humans to work for him because he were tired. While Hyne was asleep, Humans ran the world on their own. When he awoke, Hyne was startled by their numbers, so he tried exterminating their young, and the humans started to turn against him.

Hyne bargains for the end of the war by willingly giving up half his body, and telling the early humans they would have half his powers. There was another war, and then Vascaroon, who was a sage, says the "half" of Hyne's body is just his cast off skin. This is how the persecution of Magic Users / Sorceresses began.

When you read all three stories, it becomes clear that these are ancient tales that have become distorted over time. The real details have been lost. Maybe it was all bullshit made up to persecute women.

However, I ask you now to look at Ultimecia's Final Form:

That looks like half a magical parasite growing out of Ultimecia's normal body. And it looks like it's missing part of it's skin, don't you think?

So, Hyne was probably real. And, that begs the question, who or what is Hyne, really?

Final Fantasy takes place in a Multiverse, and across the various games, we have seen strange entities similar to how Hyne was described.

The fact that it was so old and wants to kill humans for overpopulating and altering the world, did make me think that Hyne could be a Weapon. But, Weapons seldom show true sentience and the ability to scheme, so it is highly unlikely Hyne was a Weapon.

In between the alternate dimensions of the Final Fantasy Multiverse there is The Void where strange and powerful entities live. And they love to consume everything and leave everything in darkness. But, they're not known to scheme or bargain like Hyne did. So, it's a possibility, but a tad unlikely.

Not unless the whole beginning part of the myth is false. Like Hyne wasn't the creator of humans. Maybe it was an entity like Cloud of Darkness, it awoke, humans fought and won, then fought over its body, thinking it would give them powers.

But, then, why would Hyne exist as a parasite in sorceresses? Like we see in Ultimecia?

Let's talk about Jenova. "The Crisis from the Sky" is an alien lifeform that arrived in the ancient times of FF7. It is fairly powerful, but not all powerful. It was known to shapeshift, but Jenova also has the ability to survive being cut to pieces. Exposure to Jenova's cell's (or a virus) causes people to transform into monsters.

And we see a few other sorceresses in FF8, that are steadily becoming more monstrous:

Yes. I'd have to speculate that Jenova is the closest thing to Hyne. The might have been the same species, or something similar. Hyne probably arrived from outer space in the ancient times. It might have been injured or just asleep when it first arrived.

When it awoke, it started killing people. This drove the humans to corner it and kill it. Then they fought over the remains of the body, thinking it would give them magical powers. the carcass had no powers, but later women started to manifest magic and turning into monsters and that's what started the persecution of the Sorceresses.

Sorceresses in FF8 have to pass on their powers to another sorceress before they pass on. This is what passes the Hyne parasite on to the next person, and is somewhat similar to Jenova's Reunion ability.

What we see manifesting in Ultimecia is Hyne's true final form. It's been gestating inside of Ultimecia for a long time, finally growing powerful enough to absorb all of existence, and yet it still bears the scars from the original war.

At least that's my interpretation.
