| Lopen 12/24/19 3:19:56 PM #73: | It's easy to psychoanalyze Squall and come to that conclusion, but that's not the only explanation that fits-- particularly early game at the time we're at the party. Like you need to realize, that even if you're right in your Squall character analysis, that we don't have all the information you do when you're delving into him like that for most of the game-- what you're doing is kind of hindsight being 50/50 more than what the plot feels like in the moment. Like I agree completely that Squall does not come off as socially insecure at any point in the way you're talking about. He is antisocial but he's assertive, confident, and strong in spite of it-- it's not done in an awkward way that would be stricken entirely by virtue of a girl giving him some attention. Does that mean the game didn't intend the reading you have? Not really saying that-- but that's not really the natural way to interpret Squall's character as the game unfolds either. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
