Tempest

Okay, that's it, I'm not playing this game anymore. Squall was already pushing it by not being blond, but it's physically painful for me to watch him refuse to hug the girl. Insufferable! So unless someone tells me that the next scene is Cloud from FFVII rushing in from off-camera and injecting Squall with 100 cc of "go ahead and hug your

To be honest, I'd refuse to hug the miserable std-ridden skank too.

Poor Squall. Bad enough that the game he's in sucks anyway, he also gets stuck with that flimsy excuse for a female lead.

Gosh, I'm not sure I'd be taht mean....

then again, I think I'd have gone for the teacher, Quistis (who, I am convinced, is the young version of McGonagall from Hogwarts.)

I agree, Quistis is the only female character in FFVIII who doesn't make me want to kill someone.

She's hot, too. :X

Rinoa's just...ew. ew ew ew. They intended her to be this mary sue perfect character, and you know, I really tried to like her when I replayed the game not too long ago, but I FAILED.

Yep, I guess it's back to re-playing FF7 for me....

I actually have an old copy.

I dunno, I sort of failed to be gripped by the story. I really liked Chrono Trigger, but thus far with Chrono Cross, I feel like I don't know who any of the characters really are, or why they're doing what they're doing. Then I looked at the strategy guide and realized two things:

1. I'm about halfway through the game, and
2. I missed a LOT of stuff (like, apparently you can get the main character's Main Squeeze(TM) as a playable character).

So, it's possible that I've just seen the "less than interesting" storyline.....
Seeing "vengeful fairy wrath" was fairy cool, though.....

To be fair, the game's logo is of them hugging.

[greatblondelf]

I'll bet that was just wishful thinking.....

i still think that if i was able to interact with this game in the way that i really wanted to the first time i played it, i would be screaming in latin and shoeing squall in the nuts almost every other scene.

[greatblondelf]

I think I might have paid to see that.......

ffiv is coming out on the game boy advanced. sweet.
