>*CHAIR CLATTERING NOISE*
>make the most romance focused FF>the romance is garbage, leads have no chemistry, Rinoa is widely accepted as one of the worst leads
>>724227192the romance was a nerdy kid's wet dream where the outgoing girl makes an overwhelming effort to break the shell of the shy guy that wouldn't approach her. You weren't lonely enough to be the target audience.
>>724227192On the other hand the game is peak because of how ridiculous and funny it is, along with a turn based system that is more active than E33, which is praised to hell and back.
>>724227051tfw no gf (Guardian Force)
>rinoawhatever, it would have been more interesting if she actually was ultimecia and would turn into her no matter what so you're destined to end up with the evil girl
>>724227192What about Seifer's ROMANTIC dream with Ultimecia?
>>724227051Seifer fucked her first.
huh
>>724227992It was a horror story. I knew intimately at the time, that if a "Rinoa" discovered me, she would wrap me around her finger even when I would consider her the lowest value girl.>>724230787Correct. The uncut Ragnarok scene shows, that Squall doesn't care about the fact.
>Squall is disinterestedGirls: Wow, he's so interesting but hard to get to know.>Anon is disinterestedGirls: Who? Huh?How can you compete /v/?
>>724227992The nerdy kid needs to understand that he isn't Squall. He's a background character IRL at best.
>>724232616for me its ugly guys staring off into the distance hoping they seem interesting.
BEST LOOKING GUY

>>724232661this is a lesson learned later in life. For the 13 year old playing FFVIII that still thinks he's the main character, it's proper escapism.
>>724232502Well, is it wrong?
>>724228307Will FF fans EVER get over E33? I doubt it
>>724227192I liked her because him shutting down Quistis kind of showed that a normal person could never get through to him, she has to be someone that relentlessly pursues and makes things happenI think there chemistry plays out in their first fight where she's an optimist and he brings her down to reality.>>724227992Squall was constantly put in the position of leader whether he wanted to or not and taking charge was natural for him even if he was going through the motions, he wasn't shy he just didn't care about things internally when outwardly he was trained to be the person he'd always step up to be.
>>724234546What I will never get over is, that the game I hated as the worst game ever made for eighteen years, Final Fantasy VIII, has now inspired my two favorite games. At this point VIII has been more positive to me than bad and that's horrible to cope with.
