Surely that makes him different to most other main characters, the guy had inner conversations with himself which none of the other characters knew about. For the first 2 discs he was a guy wondering why everyone was depending on him and seemed very cynical. Not usual characteristics of the main protagonist of a game. That Squall I like because he had a personality that differed from all the characters we usually get. Then he changed in disc 3 to a whiny love sick guy, when he showed little interest in Rinoa before then, which when I played it not long ago seemed really weird change in his personality. |
Yeah, it was nice we heard his inner thoughts. I just didn't particularly like his inner moanings about everyone depending on him. The only bit I remember liking was when he's having that inner conversation after they think Seifer has died and he suddenly bursts out with "I won't be a memory" (or words to that effect).
And yes, I particularly hated the love sick puppy stuff after disc 3. That was what really made me hate him as a character. Still managed to play through the game twice so it wasn't a deal breaker, but his personality grated on me. It also meant I found the relationship between Rinoa and Squall less believable and based solely on immature lust rather than actually liking each other. This in turn meant I didn't like the ending!
