No neeed to be all jerkish there Rambo.
The primary reason that that particular idea was appealing is that it completely recolored the entirety of the game and lent new meaning to everything that transpired during a second playthrough. My personal interpretation was that Squall became Griever, refusing to leave Rinoa even as she went insane, even knowing that they would end up essentially destroying the world before being killed by themselves. The game was billed as "the greatest love story ever told" and with this idea it shifted from "this guy like totally loves this chick man you have no idea" to "these two are so much in love that they are willing to destroy all creation so as to always be with one another".
It was awesome, terrifying, and completely contradictory to every expectation one had about their romance, and it implied in the ending that when Squall chose not to die that he was choosing to destroy the world altogether instead of leaving Rinoa by herself.
I understand if that doesn't appeal to you, but compared to what the story actually was, it was absolutely fantastic.
