Selphie

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

When you played this game for the first time what did you think of Selphie? I liked her I thought she was much more interesting than Rinoa.

[Cookie]

Selphie is the most amazing character in the game ever in the history of the universe. The End.

[rubah]

lol pun.

Selphie is pretty great, but I don't think I like her better than rinoa.

[Monol]

I thought she was fun but i thought Riona was a pretty groovy cat as well....I love selphies weapon and attitude but Riona definatly gets the babe card :cool:

[Jessweeee♪]

I thought she was kewl n.n

[Hambone]

I don't like her very much. It's really one of those things that where you have no reason to dislike someone/thing. Y'all probably think I'm high.
:shifty:

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

To me Rinoa's nothing more than a pretty face. Selphie is a much more plausible character. I liked her from the very start

[Polaris]

I loved Selphie she was sooooooo cute! I even started calling my sister Selphie because she was so similar to her! :D Irvine Kanapoooooooo! :D

[Namelessfengir]

i like selphie more than rinoa in the way i like rikku better than yuna
peteite perky and hyper
more fun

[daggertrepe]

I agree.

But Quistis PWNS them both.

[Xurts]

I thought she was funny. I still sometimes use her for random battles.

[atlanteay]

I agree.

dagger and her Quistis pwnage :bigsmile:

i think selphie was pretty cool but she didn't get enough attention after the first disk.

[Hyperion4444]

Out of all the little mystic girls like Yuffie, Penelo, Rikku, Selphie... or even Meru (LOD) and so on... Selphie is more endurable, except she could loose the straps and wear something else... besides yellow.

[charliepanayi]

She's not as good as Quistis or Rinoa I feel, but I still enjoyed her character (my brother hated her intensely in contrast) and I loved reading her updates on the Balamb Garden system about 'Sir Laguna' and his travels. She and Irvine fit together well too. The game needed lighter characters like her, Irvine and Zell to offset the seriousness of Squall, Quistsis and (to a lesser extent) Rinoa.

To me Rinoa's nothing more than a pretty face.

and whats wrong with that?:p
i liked selphie throughout the whole game she was a useful character with a positive attitude. But she looked really stupid and clumsy when she feel down that ledge in Dollet:p espicially because you had already seen her run in to squall:rolleyes2

[Tallulah]

Although I profess to hate Selphie (I killed her off in my FFVIII fanfic), I actually thought she was an interesting character who put a different slant on the story with her seemingly unwavering cheerfulness, which did grate on me a little bit. Plus, I find her Limit Breaks very useful, and her ultimate weapon, Strange Vision has a Hit stat of 255, the same as a gunblade. Heck, that saved my a$$ a couple times. :rolleyes2

[Hyperion4444]

Good to defeat catuars without miss given she a bit stronger.

[The Ceej]

I just found her annoying. Maybe that's just me.

I may get heat for saying this, but I liked Squall's attiude from early in the game best. It bothered me to see Rinoa change him, but when he died in the end, it showed Rinoa that he was right the whole time and she was wrong to change him. Of course, that's how I read it.

Watch the ending credits.

[The Ceej]

I did watch the end credits. The fact he came back when and how he did told me that it had to be a dream. He did die, otherwise he'd be in the home video and Rinoa wouldn't be wearing a black cloth on her arm.

[atlanteay]

um, she wears that black ribbon since the beginning of the game.

...what?

He wasn't in the home video because the camera ran out of batteries and he was out on the balcony. Rinoa wasn't wearing a black cloth on her arm, she was wearing her normal outfit. She's had that black ribbon on her arm for the entire game. Pay more attention?

Squall is undeniably alive. Watch the credits again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPmWxzcot-M

I agree.

But Quistis PWNS them both.

Damn straight, lant! :tongue:

[Takara]

No character that wasn't Squall, Rinoa, or Laguna (and even there, he didn't get that much) got many attention after the first disk.

As for Selphie, I adored her. I found Rinoa to be one-dimensional. Selphie appeared one-dimensional too at first, what's with always being cheerful and optimistic, but as the game progresses, especially toward Trabia Garden's bombing, you get a glimpse of another part of her personality. You see that, despite that hyper, cheerful façade, there is a young woman who hides her own fears and insecurities.

During Disk 2, she was in charge of the missile base team, and her garden blew up!

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

No offense but I think Quistis sucks.

[XxSephirothxX]

Definitely the most annoying character in FFVIII.

[Disco Potato]

I didn't care too much about her for a long time, but the last time I played I thought she was adorable. I loved her random, violent outbursts ("blow it to smithereens with a rocket launder?!," etc.).

I interpreted that hiding of negative emotions as resilience and optimism. But it's been a while since I played the game so I might've forgotten stuff :monster:

Selphie wasn't as annoying as Quistis IMHO. Because Quistis would always cut Squall off and finish what he was going to say.

[Takara]

Heh, funny, the most annoying character for me was Rinoa, because she was just so damn pushy and clingy.

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

I think Rinoa was annoying because she was trying to act like she was tough but she wasn't tough she was WEAK...Anyway I bet Selphie could've kicked Rinoa's ass if they ever fought each other in the game.

[Hyperion4444]

I don't like Rinoa's looks or personallity.
But I use her as she is still one of the best in the game ''gameplay-wise''.

[Yuffie514]

spunky attitude. i like her. useful for healing.

[Heath]

I don't particularly have any strong feelings either way about Selphie. She's useful enough in battle, but I never really feel inclined to commit to having her as part of my main three characters.

It's even more annoying if we were able to hear them speak. :)

But Quisty's my fav.

[Slade]

Selphie was awesome. If I didn't think so, then I wouldn't draw her so much. One of my all-time favourite FF characters :D

[Dr. Acula]

Selphie is my no. 1 favourite FF character, along with Vivi.:love:

[Zeromus_X]

I thought she was pretty cool, but Quistis is still my favorite FFVIII girl.

[~rinoa_tilmitt92~]

i didnt like how she showeds squal and zell her panties when she fell down the hill!!1 that was dirty trick :mad2: but other than that she was one of my favourite :love:

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

I didn't like how she showed Squall and Zell her panties when she fell down the hill! That was dirty trick :mad2: but other than that she was one of my favourites :love:

That's what made me like Selphie. :)

And you know Squall and Zell didn't mind.

[BardTard]

I LOVE SELPHIE she's all cute and like, WHOO HOO LET'S BLOW THINGS UP! *jumpy* That's awesome and I love her! If she was real, we would have so much fun together! And she's always like, the invincible one when I play with her. She NEVER dies.

[Hazzard]

It was good that Selphie was the peppy one to always lift the parties hopes up, and she was so caring and considerate of other peoples feelings as well. Great character, loved her!

Rikku was just a carbon copy...

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Rikku was just a carbon copy...

I think Rikku was like a cross between Selphie and Yuffie...*Shrudders* I hate Yuffie!:mad:

[Jessweeee♪]

ZELL AND SELPHIE MAKE THE CUTEST COUPLE EVAR!!!!

...Irvine goes with the pigtail girl anyway :mad2:

[Hazzard]

Zell & Selphie aren't good, man, both are way too high. Zell deserves the pigtail chick, while Irvine can settled down his guns with Sefie!

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

I always thought that Squall and Selphie would be an interesting couple but I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would disagree with me...I know Squall and Selphie are complete opposites but Squall and Rinoa are complete opposites too. Also I hate Zell, Seifer, Laguna, and Irvine so I choose the Squall/Selphie couple by default.:)

ZELL AND SELPHIE MAKE THE CUTEST COUPLE EVAR!!!!

Holy macaroni! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! We think EXACTLY alike!

[Aerith's Knight]

i still like rinoa best.. dont know why.. its probably indoctrinated by the game, but she made me forget about selphie.. although shes cute.. with a huge temper.. so perfect for irvine.. too bad zell isnt compatible with quistis

one weird speculation though.. why are her nunchaku's more then half HER size? :P

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Have you guys noticed that Rinoa kind of looks like Tifa but with less cleavage?:)

[Aerith's Knight]

she could have been a little more busty.. yes.. but i think she looks a lot different.. only the hair is the same

how bout cloud/squall : loner, ravenhaired and a mercenary(i mean cmon)

Yeah I agree with you, Squall is kind of like the teenage version of Cloud...I think after Final Fantasy VIII Square wanted to mix it up a little bit and create a completely different main character personality-wise.
