FFDragon 08/27/23 11:48:36 AM #266 | And Selphie was always off, even as a child, delighting in the death and destruction:
Irvine: "Sefie, whacha playin!?" And in the game's final acts, Selphie goes full mask off and just commandeers a spaceship to go plow face first into the Lunatic Pandora. Party has accepted their fate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEK3hmYkg44 Quistis: "Ahh... Excuse me, we're flying? End of game Selphie gives zero fucks too: [They finally defeat Ultimecia once and for all. There is only a white room now, and everyone is running around in it except Squall.] And of course, the escapism of the train song: Selphie: "Train Train Take Us Away. Take Us Away Far Away. To the Future We Will Go. Where It Leads No One Knows." So there you go. Selphie the Unhinged. Barely keeping it contained for the entirety of the game until she finally gets to unleash it all at the end. I love this little psycho, and I really do think she's underrated because people don't look past the bubblepop. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

FFDragon 08/27/23 11:47:34 AM #265 | This is like the one time she becomes self-aware in the early game, when she lets the bubblepop mask slip, and even then it's a dig at Squall:
Selphie: "Y'know, I really wanted to see a band perform on this stage. I even had my eyes set on a few people, too. Oh well..." She could very well be a golden god, she is untethered, and her rage knows no bounds!: Selphie: "Sorry to keep you waiting! Thanks so much for coming all the way out here, everyone." This one's just funny because dunking on Seifer is always funny: Seifer: "Selphie, right? I wish we had time to get to know each other." Fucking with Squall just because: Selphie: "How's it goin', Squall? Is Rinoa still asleep? Psst... Psst... Psst... (Rinoa's so cute when she's asleep.)" Panic attacks when she can't take control of something by blowing it up: Selphie: "What, what, did I miss something? Uh-oh, it's so quiet. The air's getting heavy. Guys... What's wrong? COME ON! We're all together again! We're gonna bring back Rinoa! It's like a picnic! We're gonna have fun!" No fear, no questioning, just acceptence and the thrill of the unknown: Squall: "...There's something here." Oh yeah I just got out of the SPACE CRASH, abandoned the other guy, stole a chocobo and wandered around and also IS THAT A SPACESHIP I CAN ALSO STEAL?!: Selphie: "Whoo-hoo! I'm back!" --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

FFDragon 08/27/23 11:45:09 AM #264 | Of course, the infamous skinning a moomba to escape situation:
Selphie: "Well, we could skin this little guy and wear him as a disguise..." Destruction: [The SeeDs go up the floors 'til they come to a large iron door.] Lack of self-preservation, yet again: Selphie: "Oh, so this big hole goes all the way to the bottom. So if we jump ALL the way down, we're outta here." Then there's the whole Metal Gear Selphie section (one of the best stretches in the game), where there is no plan besides (yet again) calculated and large scale destruction. Every step of the way, you can choose to try and be stealthy but it always boils down to a fight and Selphie trying to murder and/or explode everything, often to the party's terror: Selphie: "I'm on the missile base infiltration team! I have to be! They launched missiles at MY Trabia!" The party barely keeps the fireball contained this entire section, and it's at this point that literally everyone know that she is pyschotic: The party enters the nearest door and come to another door that's locked tightly.] Then there's a gauntlet of fights and Selphie just clobbering maintainence soldiers: Selphie: "Whoo-hoo! Let's keep movin'!" --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

FFDragon 08/27/23 11:45:07 AM #263 | Guess it's time to make my pitch for why I love Selphie as a character and why you might want to throw her some saves. On the surface, she is a normal bubble-pop optimist with the "Booyaka!" catchphrase that organizes the Garden Festival. On the inside, and what actually pours out throughout the game, is the core of a very damaged, very demented sociopath that the entire party is terrified of. Now, most of the time it's a case of, "yes, she's a psycho but she's OUR psycho!" but it does often cross the line into asking "...but is she our psycho?" A lot of the FF8 characters get limited chances to develop, but Selphie makes the most of her time with a full arc of unhinged mayhem that culminates in the best FMV of the game.
From the very first mission, she gets genuinely confused/annoyed at why you don't take unnecessary risks by jumping off the cliff. She has no sense of self-preservation and chases thrills: Selphie: "What took you so long? It would've been much quicker if you'd just jumped." During the Timber briefing, she first shows off her penchant for wanton destruction. And you get the first reactions of someone nervously questioning Selphie's mental state: Zone: "Our plan is to..." And during the briefing she's just a little too excited by the prospect of their catastrophic failure: Rinoa: "We'll have to complete the uncoupling before the 1st switch point. If we don't..." Also seems to lack empathy or any kind of social cues: Selphie: "It's one of the... ugliest things that I've ever seen in my life. You must really hate him." Her words and her actions often clash, and the party itself first starts side-eyeing her in Dollet: Rinoa: "I know that...! What I want to know is, what is the president going to broadcast!? Why use radio waves? There must be something they want to say to the whole world. What can it be?" By mid disc one, Squall has already learned to give Selphie what she wants: Train Announcement: "This train, bound for East Academy, will depart shortly." Even trains learn to bend to Selphie's will not long after: ID Check: "Confirming... Access granted..." --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
