Squinoa - Page 15

The scene with Yuna and Tidus at the Spring was nice to watch I guess because it was so pretty XD But it was random.

FFIX is one of the less appreciated FF games in the series. IT was a very solid game and it's love story was much better than FFX's imo.

i never really was a huge fan of 9. i liied it but not as much as i liked 8. Zidane and garnet will never own Squinoa.
Squinoa> All

When you think about it, there isnt much thought put into the events in Squinoa.
-Squall meets Rinoa. Strictly business.
-Secret feelings start to develop.
-They fall in love.
-Rinoa is taken away. Squall gets angry.
-Squall rescues her.
-They live happily ever after.
Thats all there is to it really. Ofcoarse it was cleverly sewn into the storyline, but it follows a very basic love pattern.

I've always called it "Zeris" I'm hoping for lots of cutesy romance scenes between those two.

All better

My god Rinoa needed a hell of alot of rescuing. XD. She really was quite useless in out-of-battle situations.

Though I really would have preffered Squall to not have rescued her when she fell off the side of Balamb Garden. That was a part of the game that REALLY bugged me. Squall had a job to do in leading the Garden into battle, and he wanted to do it. That was a time when the rest of the party annoyed me, with their whining at Squall to save Rinoa, when they could have just done it themselves >_>
That part wasn't romantic, I don't think. Just annoying.

I think we had a debate on this before

I didn't see a problem with it because after Squall saved Rinoa, he went right back to work XD

Despite all the times Squall rescued Rinoa, ironically, it is she who rescues him from Time Compression in the end after he freaks out and gives up. In the end, she's the stronger one.

And I agree with you GG, I don't think its romantic that he had to be the one to save her in that situation. I found it foolish that the rest of the group insisted Squall be the one to save her. Per the reasons already mentioned, it was irresponsible for the Commander to have to assume a role of choosing the good of an individual over the good of the whole during battle. They could have saved her themselves in the amount of time they took to convince him to save her.

I don't think he would have been exhibiting the same cold, selfish personality. He just knew that he didn't need to be the one to save Rinoa. He was the one who needed to lead Balamb Garden into battle. The cadets were looking up to him for guidance at that moment. He needed to help them.

But oooh no... Selphie, Irvine, Zell, and Quistis brought up the whole "oh you're so cold Squall. How could you not want to save Rinoa" issue, when they really could have saved her themselves. He didn't need to be the one who saved her. They just wanted him to be the one to save her. They wanted a cutesy, romantic moment between Squall and Rinoa at a really inappropriate time. I just thought that was really unprofessional, considering they were meant to be SeeDs.

It's parts of the game like that which annoyed me. As unappeling as Squall's previous "cold" personality was, I felt as though a lot of scenes like that weren't really helping him bring out a "romantic side" or becoming a "better person". It was just ... well ... nagging.
