->“Was that cabana here a second ago?” Shirou asked as the pair lounged in the shade.\\

“Rune magic.” Scáthach passed the second drink to her master and the lounging pair tapped the shells together before taking a drink.\\
“But that doesn’t…”\\
“I really wouldn’t question it,” Medea said. “She’s not going to give you any other response.”

->''"The reigning mother-queen of all video game plot devices and rushed endings. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia's]] evil scheme isn't anything so basic as blowing up, enslaving, or blinking the world out of existence. She wants [[TimeCrash to compress past, present, and future into a single being]] and create a universe in which only she can exist... while retaining access to the present-day [[{{overworld}} world map]], certain dungeons, [[GlobalAirship Ragnarok]], and [[SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer all the important Triple Triad players from Balamb Garden]]. Don't ask how it's supposed to make sense. It doesn't. Time Compression was also a great excuse for the producers to slash the production budget for the ending sequence. Why is half of the ending movie [[ClipShow made up of distorted and looping FMV clips from earlier in the game?]] TIME COMPRESSION. If you want a few laughs, check out some of the bigger ''Final Fantasy'' fansites out there and watch them [[FanWank try to analyze and explain Time Compression]]."''
