Story gets very messy?

*looks at the front of my game case*
Hey look...it's Seifer, Rinoa and Squall.

*looks at opening FMV*
Wow. Squall and Seifer must have a real rivalry here.

*plays through Disk 1 and 2*
Yep, a real rivalry. SUrely this'll lead to an ultimate climactic scene.

*plays through most of Disk 3*
Yep...any second now.

*ges to the end of disk 3*
Okay...so we beat Seifer again and he's already up and moving.

*plays start of disk 4*
Um..where did Seifer go?

*beats game*
Oh so he's with Fujin and Raijin now. Wait, how the fuck did that happen? Where was the ultimate chowdown between the two characters this game basically shoved in your face from square one?

Was Ultimecia indeed Rinoa from the future?

I have heard many rumors about this such as:

1. Squall's ring contained powers that were transferred to rinoa when he gave it to her at 2nd disk, and that's why we see the lion of squall's ring called by ultimecia (have u ever wondered why in 2nd disk u are asked to name the ring?)

2. Did squall killed Rinoa of the future? Check this from the 4th minute (see ultimecia after rinoa? see also squall's tear?)

on the other hand how can ultimecia be rinoa since rinoa lived too many generations before Ultimecia? :S
