New Alliance Raid Idea - Ultimecias Castle (FFVIII)

I don't really know FFVIII very well, but why would Ultimecia be here? The Cloud of Darkness made sense because "she" was stated to be a natural force that existed in between worlds. Ultimecia was killed though.

It simply could be a reference or an homage to Ultimecia, without necessarily having to be the one from FFVIII, as I agree it doesn't make as much sense for that Ultimecia to be here as it did Cloud of Darkness. Perhaps a mage or a sorceress of a bygone, or more fitting, an era yet to be.

Well besides being off-canon, there is a theory of a time loop. Since Ultimecia existed in the future, killing 'her' in the future would not exactly change the present time. Ultimecia can also travel through time, which she did as she was dying to pass her powers on. Which Rinoa eventually took. So potentially, 'Ultimecia' as a being cannot truly die. Well in theory anyways.
But what does anything in FF make any true sense? ;p

Edit; Why they had to kill Ultimecia in the future, was because she was aiming for a total compression of time; past/present/future. So her being alive in the future, means the present would have been destroyed. But as I said, killing her in the future, does not mean her existence is gone. One crazy theory is that Rinoa eventually turn into Ultimecia.

It doesn't have to be THE Ultimecia.

It could just be a character native to this game with her name and similar abilities/appearance. (with lore and history to fit the game)
