Presumably Kitase nixed it in an interview because it's not the story he intended to write?

I've literally just finished replaying FF8, and I don't think Rinoa Is Ultimecia makes more sense, because it is so clearly fans reaching to say "actually this story is not as bad as you think". Like Indoctrination Theory, it may work with a lot of what the game presented, but it is quite clearly NOT the story the game was telling. "Ultimecia is Rinoa because of X,Y,Z" makes just as much sense to me as "Ultimecia wants to cause time compression because she's evil and wants to rule everything".

It's a huge flaw in the writing that the ultimate villain is someone far in the future who has no real interaction with out main characters. Ultimecia could just as well have been... the embodiment of Evil or something. But the justification I have seen is that, once Ultimecia is defeated, the world would become one anticipating Sorceresses worse then even Adel and Edea were - and thus SeeD would be always hunting them, and the world in general persecuting them, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy wherein Sorceresses must become violent and brutal just to survive. And after however many generations, that leads to Ultimecia who figures out that using time compression will make her basically god.

I don't think she does it to be powerful and god-tier, I think the does it because, presumably, she was a normal girl once who lived a normal life until it was realized she was a Sorceress, at which point, out of fear of who she could become (since no one knew who would be Ultimecia), she had everything remotely happy ripped from her. I mean, I'd fucking go berserk, too. She's a woman who wants to reclaim her happiness from a point of isolation, which makes sense of her final speech to Squall--who is someone who was ALSO isolated and lonely.
