Possibility of getting the rest Ultimania's translated for real?

Time paradox

Well, this is the Ultimania for FFVIII, after all.

...And it occurs to me that you haven't finished that game, so this joke will mean dick shit to you.

Now that the holidays are over, I might be more arsed in between bouts of FFXIII

As it was written, so must it be.

You have to go and rub it in, don't you D:

One witch is said to have, in ancient times, stood up for the sake of the people in a country at the time of its collapse.
A movie was made about this witch and her knight, Zefer, which I think a lot of people have probably seen, huh?

Next was the witch who divided the world at the time of the Sorceress War.
She was a terrible witch.

And then, who’s the one most familiar to us?

Yes, yes, it is.
This witch cooperated in research on the mechanics of magic, thanks to which everyone can use magic, huh?

I'm sort of confused. The first witch is just some distant historical figure and her name isn't really relevant, but who are the second and the third?

“SeeD……SeeD……SeeD, SeeD, SeeD!! I loathe you…… Why do you disturb a witch so! Why can’t I be free?! Your existences shall be added to the algorithm of Time Compression!!”

I like this, actually. That "Why can't I be free" gives what seems to be the vaguest hint for Ultimecia's motivations - she doesn't want to have to live her life on the run from SeeD anymore. 'course, the whole reason Ultimecia is feared is probably due to her actions in the past, but hey, this is something.

The second is most likely Adel.

As for the third one...Edea?

Adel's definitely the second, and, as, D&D guesses, Edea's probably the third. One definitely gets the impression that she and Dr. Odine know one another when playing the original game. She already trusts Odine completely, telling him things like "I leave everything in your hands" after only a couple of minutes, and telling Squall to accept his terms for seeing Ellone.

At any rate, the Esthari officials who greet the team when they enter Esthar already know Edea by name, so she's probably been there before.

It certainly does illuminate her motivations better, but I'm just too fond of the English version.

ALSO DID YOU KNOW (you may have translated this part already)

...that Seifer got his battle style, choice of weapon, and stance from Laguna's performance in that movie he shot way back when? It was his favorite movie as a kid, and after that, he swore he'd become a Sorceress Knight.

Cool!
