FFVIII: Squall dies at the end of disc 1?

[theprof00]

One of the best reasons for why this can't be true comes from one of the replies on the blog.
"because the writers weren't THAT good".

But it was a cool read anyway. It was a great game, one of the best. I wish we had narratives like that in current FFs. Here's to hoping that ffv13 delivers.
