wouldn't it be better if he had died before the game even started?

The concept is too deep for the creators of Final Fantasy to grasp, none of the games in the series is the "best JRPG in story" anywhere.

The creators of FF made Xenogears. I don't know if you can get any fricken deeper then that.

Do your research, and do it well. Square made Xenogears, and aside from Masato Kato, nobody of them worked on an FF as far as I can remember.

And yeah, its story is pretty good.

Well unless i'm a complete moron which may be true, Square made Final Fantasy >.>

Also Kato isn't the only one who worked on FF titles. Also working on it was Tetsuya Takahasi. They never give out full dev lists otherwise I would go further.

EDIT: Oh I just scored big. Technically the creator of FF did help make Xenogears. Sakaguchi was a Executive Producer. Got the booklet infront of me.

The point is that Square =/= creators of Final Fantasy ONLY.

And since they are not mentioned, their involvment is trivial, technical, and small. Heck, I'm holding the same booklet and Sakaguchi is in the bottom of that "Square Co, Ltd." list. Where is his touch there? Absolutely nowhere. That game is completely unlike any FF in good and bad ways. You can go further, but while one company team was working on Xenogears, completely another team was working on... FF VIII.

im I the only one who thinks that Squall guest appearances in other games (KH/Dissidia) are better than his actual game??? OT, cool theory not tru, but cool. THe story feel apart when Laguna arrived IMO. That entire 1st disc was insane though

So that explains why he dies when you use a Phoenix Down on him.

physical no but storywise.......maybe.

not a chance, this fan is just grasping at straws badly.  ff8 my favorite all time ff game, is a joy to play and experience time and time again, currently playing it for a 12th time too if i remember right. 

squall after he gets hit by that crystal like spear through his upper body. he just goes through memories that are from ellone and when she was younger with laguna loire. and u realize that squall's big sister he talks about is actually ellone from when he was a young boy. so at various points, that is what u experience and learn about. and is not about squall being dead.
