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]]."''
