Final Fantasy VIII Quote Quiz

(Searched the first three pages, I apologize if there is already a thread on this)

As part of a semi-revival of the Final Fantasy VIII section (I'm on the phone with Future Esthar as I'm typing this), I thought it would be cool to bring back the 'quote quiz'. Super fun, super simple, super sexy.

You know the rules. I'll start with a quote, and everyone takes wild guesses, until someone gets it right. Critical thinking and deductive logic probably won't help, so just trust your gut.

Once someone answers it correctly, they will be notified (hopefully somewhat quickly) of it by the poster of the quote, and they can dig up a quote of their own. As a rule, if someone who gets a quote right doesn't post their own quote for 2 days (might extend that to three), then anyone can put a quote of their choosing up in place.

Now, enough of that unnecessarily long introduction. I'll start off with a toughie:

"...Whatever"

Squall.

You got it!

Pick your quote good sir!

(By the way, for everyone else, google will honestly kill the fun- just guess!)

I've probably played VIII more than any other game, so I know it pretty well, haha. Anyways, here is my quote:

"We're going to liberate Balamb, ya know!? ... I mean .... uh ... We're here to liberate Balamb!"

Is it Zell accidently mimicking Raijin's speech pattern?

Yeah, I think you're right Karifean. Zell accidentally adopts that mannerism when the party run into Raijin and Fujin in the Balamb Hotel.

You are correct, Karifean! As Jiro said, it is when Zell accidentally adopts Raijin's mannerisms at the Balamb Hotel.

"...PRETTY CONFIDENT."

Gonna take a stab in the dark and say Raijin?

Nope, not Raijin.

Cerberus!!!

Yes!!!

I almost said NORG because that guy abuses capslock too.

"Try to control your emotions a little."

Oh gosh. I'm going to say Cid, talking to Zell at the SeeD ceremony in his office.

Yes! Your turn.

"Don't worry. It's my special move, so I'll only use it if I have to!"

Seems like Rinoa to me.

I'm gonna say Zell.

Neither! :jess:

Rinoa? :greenie:

Laguna?

Nope! Hint: It's not a major character. At all.

Zell's brother or whoever he is, when you enter Zell's house during some point in the game, he will say that line. I am pretty sure of it.

I know you know the character I'm thinking of, despite him not being Zell's brother :exdee: It's Big Bad Rascal, a Balamb kid who wants to be just like Zell. He says that line during the Galbadian occupation of Balamb when helping Zell and co. escape from the town.

trivia: his move is called Super Miracle Kick, with frequent abuse of ALL CAPS and LOOOONG VOOOOOWELS and !!!!!~~~~!!!!

Yay! My turn.

"I won't have it! My death, I won't have it!"

Was it Squall? I think that's what he says or thinks at Galbadia Garden after they hear that Seifer was executed. He goes on to complain about being talked about in past tense and how he will never die etc etc.

Not my own guess but yes, I'm virtually positive it's that. Main reason I remember is that out of context, that whole scene is just hilarious. Squall's internal exposition leading up to him screaming out at everyone, while all of them had no idea that he even felt anything about it. Pretty brilliant actually. :)

As far as everyone else is aware, Squall is merely doing his internal "..." and "Whatever" so when he absolutely flips his lid like that, it must have been one of the most shocking and hilarious things they've ever seen. Nobody really wonders about his mental condition though. It's just on with the next mission despite the fact that their de facto leader is clearly suffering from some deep seated emotional trauma.

If I happen to be right, then - in the interest of more fun, quicker - I yield my turn to whoever is quickest to post one :)

Yes, yes, it is correct. But I will not post the next quote.

Well... here's one to move it along then:

"I am not a BOY!"

Seifer talking to Edea?

I guess that one was too easy... Correct! Your turn then.

"We the people of this world have the power to end all wars. Unfortunately, there are some trifling problems standing between Galbadia and other nations, and they must be resolved."

Definitely Edea, definitely her speech in Galbadia.

EDIT: No it's smurfing not Jiro, it's Deling in Timber as he introduces Edea. smurf.

Yes, it's Deling. Haha good job.

"We're not just here for the booze, are we? We've got a war to fight."

Kiros in Deling City. I loved that line.

Eggsactly! I do love Kiros :love:

Thirding the Kiros love. :)

Oh wait, that means it's my turn now. Derp. I'll try a harder/obscure one this time.

"Instead of fighting in your dreams, why don't you fight your way back to reality?"

Stab in the dark with Raine (I really need to play this game again).

It isn't Raine. This may be a very obscure quote so here's a small clue: it isn't even anyone from the same continent as Raine

The doctor of Balamb Garden?

Oh jesus, I haven't the faintest idea. I'm leaning towards someone in Esthar, but I can only think of Laguna et al as well as Odine so I haven't a clue xD

Bahamut?

No, no, and no. It's someone without an actual name.

Not named? Oh christ xD Is it someone in Balamb Garden?

Someone from Trabia Garden?

Yes. One of the students.

Guess we have to specify which one, huh. Oh geez. It's not one of the students near that crashed missile, is it?

Selphie's friend?

I didn't mean you had to specify, I meant you got it correct. :p

So I looked it up and goddamn I do remember that girl. She looks after the random ass guy who dreams of fighting Jumbo Cactuar and King Tonberry and stuff!

Wow, I had to google the answer at first, but even then I did not know which student it was.

So, whose turn? Mine...?

Dunno who's go, it's on the previous page for me so anyone just go. I don't think "turns" are strictly necessary, it's just so we only have one quote at a time. We're here to have fun and reminisce!

Both of you give a quote and whoever gets them both right at the same time gets the next turn :greenie:

Steal!

"A-Are you serious!? What kind of costume is this!?"

Damn, I literally just got one before seeing you posted a quote, Jiro. :( Hmm, I'll write it down because I'm staring at it being uttered on the game right now.

Is it Laguna when that sorceress movie is being filmed and he's dressed as a knight?

It is indeed! Time to post your one, buddy :D

Yay, I'm really excited that I found a good one! Okay, here it is:

"Living a life full of battles...I guess you could say I was prepared...But then I think this is really it...Damn, it pisses me off!"

My thought process is this:

Who's old enough to talk about a life full of battles? Laguna, Kiros, Ward, Cid, Edea, Martine, Dr Odine...
Who's probably fought in a life full of battles? Laguna, Kiros, Ward, Edea maybe
Who would say "pisses me off?" Zell, Seifer, Irvine maybe
fffffuuuuuuuuu no match ups.

I'm going to say Zell.

I'll go with Irvine.

It is Zell. The "damn..." part really gives it away imo. I guess it's yours, Jiro, but for an added challenge, when does he say it? :bigsmile:

He says it at Trabia Garden when they're all talking about fighting Edea, I think. Open round, someone else post a quote! :D

"All they do is complain. They just pretend to be thinking. They criticize others, but in the end, they can't do anything either."

Squall, in his bed while Balamb Garden is floating (before it hits FH). I feel like I'm on fire, but that's obviously dependent on whether I get this one right or not xD I wish I could remember my classwork as well as this.

Nah, but it's close to that time frame. It's actually a really tricky one too. Zell says this if you choose him to be on Selphie's team at the missile base early in Disc 2, right after you've beaten BGHbiefveivgevedivbwhateverthesmurfit'scalled and they all think they're trapped.

It is Squall, yes. I don't remember the exact context because I am far too drunk to think about it right now, but I'm sure you're at least really close.

Ah of course! I usually take Zell to Balamb but I do recall seeing that line once. Very smart thinking, picking a quote from there!

It was actually at Trabia Garden, the same context I guessed for the last one xD Bollocks. Oh well! At least I can pick the speaker relatively well.

Here's one for you guys!

"Gotta get changed for that PAAH-TAY! SeeD uniform, here we go!"

Obviously Selphie.

Obviously indeed! You're up, buddy!

"I feel a draft on my butt..."

Laguna, as he's losing the Old Key.

Yeah, your turn.

"Maybe we were born...only to fight."

EDIT: Wait it's Squall!

Correct. Out of curiosity, did your reply say Bahamut prior to being edited?

"If you think and worry too much, everything tends to turn bad. Squall, why don't we just picture a brighter future?"

Quistis!
