Description Final form Ultimcia, concept piece.
Isn't much to say for this, it's jsut a 20minuite piece inspired by an old piece of mine, www.mercymurrain.deviantart.com because you know, i'm too lazy to do the piece in a shaded cell or artistic way that I wantedcd.
However, I quite like this.

My only regret is that I should reference images more.

It's simple, but it has an impact. A HUGE one!
I saw this pop up in my messages and I was like "HOLY HYNE, THIS." and proceeded to let the tender memories of raging at that battle hit me like an unrealistically massive truck.
Now I must play that fight again. Thank you.

This. Is. Amazing. It's crazy how easily can Final Fantasy(especially VIII) evoke emotions in me, and this picture does it again, and strongly.

What form of emotion though? I get nostalgia of course.

Yeah, nostalgia is the strongest one. Then there is sadness, happiness, and the usual mix feelings I've got tied to the game's characters, story, my own progress in it. It's one big roller-coaster . And it's definitely worth it.

The ending is special to me, as a child it took me years to get to the end of FF8 - i would always start over, it was well worth the wait.

Me too! When I started playing it, I could be about 6 years old, so there's no need saying that my English was pretty bad back then. But I took dictionary and tried to translate every word and then put it all together. I also started over countless times and finished it for the first time at around 12 years. And then I just played it all over again and again.

Creepy...

Gives the impression of the void left behind as Ultimecia tries to absorb all of space and time into herself. The more I think about Ultimecia's MO, the creepier she is. That's why I love her.

But at the same time, I think there's a lot wrong with her character. As a FF villain, she's essentially the closest to becoming GOD, and her power is never really defined. I frankly think the story would make a more sense if the sorceress power was described as the legacy of the divine. The Goddess Hyne is only mentioned twice in the entire game.

As always 'you've hit the nail with the hammer'.

I believe I have said before that I believe Ultimecia actually suceeds i her Time compression due to the text in both the beggining, and the end of th FF8.

The God (not goddess) Hyne is mentioned much more in the Japanese version, in fact, theres a huge epilogue about Him and how his power was shared, and the divisional 3 who have a relationship similar to Rinoa and Squalls (and seifers) knightship one.

I remembered talking to an old man in Balamb Town and he talked about this legend about Hyne. But I guess he did not mention anything about the knightship you refereed to.. What a pity, I really want to explore more..

Hyne, Zabalaga, and the other sorcerers/esse's plot is explained in the epilogue.
