I'm going to say that Ceej is completely wrong here too, Squall lives, firstly we have him trying to remember Rinoa's face but failing he tries to remember other things too but it all gets mixed up, the dollet mission, the edea assasination, but primarily the dance with Rinoa. Then Rinoa in space...so on and so on. Rinoa is grieving at first but then the light shaft and clouds roll back, the ground turns in to the plains of centra where the orphanage is, she's then looking at Squall with surprise and joy, we can assume from that expression, SHE had nothing or very little to do with the sudden change there. Cut to Seifer who whilst angry that Rajin can catch fish whilst he can't then laughing as Fujin kicks him off the pier turns to look at Garden whilst Fujin is at attention, Rajin stops trying to climb out Seifer is left standing there looking up with what can only be described as a sad smile but I don't think he'd be overly sad if Squall died I mean the two tried to kill each other pretty much from the start of the game. Cut to Laguna and Ellone, they don't appear overly sad as Garden passes overhead infact they seem surprised but happy to see it, Laguna quite obviously is Squalls dad if your son died aged 17 or so and died in a horrible lonely death fighting to save you all would you be happy? I doubt it. Then we have the camcorder film, the battery kicks out but we then see Rinoa and Squall kiss he seems to be standing off to the right hand side of the balcony, the doorway wall blocks this from where Irvine had the camera pointed at Rinoa from yet Selphie probably could see through the doorway to Squall too. Maybe as per usual he turns up late for the party?
