This thread contains very much epic lulz.

Squall x Rinoa was indeed not forced. Squall was just too bloody stubborn to admit he liked her until she fell into that coma, all part of the whole "You don't know what you've got until it's gone" rule.

Anyways, Rinoa's cape thing looks amazing from behind, it makes her look like a hot chick in a nice dress in those ultra-low-res PSone graphics.
