>>3686375Ultimecia is just a terrible villain if she's not a future version of Rinoa. She comes out of nowhere in the final act, her motivations are never really explained, and she lives in a distant future for no particularly good reasons.
We don't know anything about her - her life, her world, what pushed her into this, and why would she even bother to compress all time to kill SeeDs when she nuked all SeeDs in her present already, averting her fate.
Without the Rinoa theory, the story balance is incredibly one-sided. If you divide the story into "what we know about the protagonist" and "what we know about the antagonist", we get a giant blob of whatever on one side and a tiny speck of kill everyone on the other. Ultimecia becomes a giant macguffin, and that is something that people will realize at least subconsciously.
The fan theory fixes most of these problems and gives the plot added depth that wasn't actually there to begin with. But Square is fucking retarded and publicly denies it.
As for evidence. Rinoa literally says this:
>"I don't want the future. I want the the present to stand still. I just want to stay here with you..."That is exactly what Ultimecia tries to do. Furthermore:
