| Scoobes said: 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! |
I really did wonder why everyone depended on him. Replaying it recently made me see this. They ask him to do things they can easily do, make decisions they can make for themselves or ask him to do something even though both he and them know nothing about it (okay so it's part of the game but still).
To me the game wasn't about the ending. While it was a nice cinematic the ending was in the game play itself and the defeat of the final boss and the few remaining non FMV scenes after.
Hmm, pie.
