Final Fantasy VIII, the celebrated JRPG from Square Enix, hides more mysteries than it seems prepared to reveal.
A fascinating and controversial theory has been circulating among fans for years: what if Rinoa Heartilly, the girl Squall Leonhart swears to protect, was destined to become Ultimecia, the evil sorceress from the future and the game's final antagonist?
