Back to Ultimecia. Ultimecia? Seriously? They just took the word Ultimate and made it sound vaguely imposing and feminine. What's next, a dark lord called Shadowy Badd? A villain named Ultramo?

Disregarding retro-active cannon-books that says otherwise; I thought Ultimecia was one of the greatest villain of all time in JRPG base purely on an already rubbished fanboy theory that was absolutely sensational for its time.
Rinoa is Ultimecia
The combination of stylistic similiarity between models, the many odd references (GF Griever anyone?) and the mystery that is Ultimecia's origin give rise to the speculation that she is actually Rinoa.
Not only was this mindblowing in JRPG terms but it makes scary sense and is a far better yarn than ANYTHNING square produced retroactively.
Its ironic tha the most awesome FF villain (Aside from Kefka) I've witness to date is only so awesome thanks to urban myth and fanboy speculation.
