Oh yeah, another thing I like is the futuristic/fantasy mix. IMO FF7 did this best (Midgar so good) but FF8's setting is pretty neat too. I pretty much always prefer a mix to a straight fantasy setting.

Probably the main difference between you and Squall is that he doesn't actually feel comfortable in his shell, despite all the stuff he says (which are largely things he thinks a mature person should say in an effort to convince himself more than anyone around him). He retreated into it because he thought it was the least painful solution, and he thought pain was the only outcome in life. Some people aren't in shells because they want to be (Squall actually forms attachments very easily, which is what scares him), and I can actually pretty strongly relate to that so it's part of the reason I love Squall.

That's fair, but I still think Rinoa is really presumptuous/rude. Like, if someone clearly expresses that he wants to be left alone, then IMO you should respect that (unless you're a close friend who knows what he actually wants). If you're essentially a stranger with a crush, then you should butt out when asked.
