At the dance she walks up to him and shoves her finger at his face and says "you will like me" as if to hypnotize him

seems harmless enough and playful for a bubbly girl to do

HOWEVER

as it turns out she has the power of a sorceress within her and it so happens Squall shortly falls madly in love with her despite no indication in any way that he is the type of guy to be into her, infact his emo "i hate the world attitude" would suggest he would find her annoying above all

could it be she hexed him and made him her man slave whiteknight? Squall literally would be living Seifer's dream

She doesn't have her sorceress power at that point. :U She doesn't get it till Edea passes it onto her at Galbadia garden.

I think she just literally dragged him off and Squall was too polite/awkward to fight it.

she didnt have the power of a sorceress in her at that point
before a sorceress can die peacefully they need to pass their power on to someone else.

rinoa doesnt get her sorceress powers until the end of disk 2 when edea is defeated for the final time and she passes her powers on to rinoa

id say more awkward than polite since being polite was not part of his character at that point
but a teenage boy who tries so hard to keep everyone at distance was caught off guard by a pretty girl who kind of forced him on the dance floor and he ended up being dragged along

I'm loving this grasp of FF8 lore and how succinctly we're putting these nefarious innuendos to rest. You're doing doing great, darlings.

she doesnt necessarily have to die to pass her powers on.
ultimicia simply thought that edea was about to die so she forced her to give up her powers so she could possess a new host

Stop trying to rationalize FF8's plot. It's only saving point is if the R = U theory is true and even if that were the case it opens up an entire new can of worms plot-hole wise.

Just believe the Squall died in disc 1 theory and be done with it.




both of those theories were incredibly stupid and people who buy into either of them should be ashamed of themselves


and the plot is fine for the first 2 disks
it doesnt turn to shit until the end of disk 2 but the final disk 2 garden battle is so cool you dont notice until disk 3

The 2nd theory at least closes all the plot holes and the dumb shit after disc 1.


This so hard.

It's hard to listen to people call it a dumb theory than go on to explain time compression and all the glaring out of character moments after disc 1.

I usually stick to the actual plot when I think about it but they should have made the second theory cannon tbh.

The R=U theory is at least interesting and would make the plot a lot better, albeit still riddled with plot holes. The second just makes the plot simple and forgivable.


Yeah, sorry. That's estentially what I meant. I should have clarified I meant they should have made it cannon just to ease the confusion and be done with it.

The R=U theory is probably the most interesting for sure though. IIRC there's more than a few views on the theory as well.

But it explains so much more about why the characterization is like a 100% in the opposite direction.

wait!

is the R = U theory because of Greiver?

because Greiver is like Squall's ring and not a real GF but a made up one?


but she like drew it out of Squall so she wouldn't need to be Rinoa to do this

So that's why Zell is so obsessed with hot dogs. It assuages his oral fixation for dick.

so that means them always being out of hotdogs was a metaphor that Zell would never find true love because his lover would always be chasing someone else

A theme in FF8 seems to be unrequited love/sexual frustration. Excepting secret agent Ken Doll (who's lost in the closet and won't notice any of his three admirers) and that Land's End catalog cliche (I think assertive women scare him), everyone is so thirsty and none of them are getting any trim. Except maybe Seifer with Edea (eww.)

I thought Selphie finally gave into Irvine and wanted him to show her his long barreled rifle

So are you saying Rinoa literally raped Squall at the end?

At the beginning, when she pulls him on to the dancefloor. That's what I think the OP is implying.

I was pretty sure Selphie was the one pursuing him.

Irvine was trying to stick his dick in all the girls. I think Selphie just relented at the end after many attempts lol

selphie is the most developed out of all 4 supporting party members
all the character development goes to squall and rinoa while everyone else stops developing after the second disk.


but the thing is if you read selphies diary entries throughout the entire game it actually gives a big insight into her character and motivations and its a shame that all that information is optional so if you dont look for it yourself selphie comes off as the least developed
