Squall is Zell in X-ATM092`s POV

[Future Esthar]

And what influence that has in the hair?


EDITuys,Serapy tried to reproduce that on photoshop without success.
If you doubt it why don´t you try yourself.

I think the flashing brightness of Squall's hair comes from the machine gun fired by Quistis, alternatively other shooting going on. As for why it wasn't the same in the trial version, they probably just weren't finished with the lighting setup. You can see the whole scene changing lighting, if more subtly than the hair, between the versions.

[Future Esthar]

Photoshop anyone?
The lightning represents the robot scanning Squall´s inner self.
As an experimented FF8 player I say that is an image of Zell inside Squall.
In fact you can see that this image is shorter than Squall and is inside him.
You have to look carefully.

[Rantz]

I've tried to see it, honestly, but I think I'm just not experienced enough to see it.

[Future Esthar]

Doesn´t it looked like Zell?

[qwertysaur]

Either zell´s consciousness is inside Squall or they are genetically related or both (showing how Zell can be Squall´s son since a consciousness álways travel to the past).

Why is there an accent mark over the a in always?
Also you have a lot of spare time to find things like this.

[Rantz]

Doesn´t it looked like Zell?

I don't think it does. Zell's hair has that whole standing up thing going on:



I can't see that in the FMV. If the brightness of the hair comes from the colour of the hair rather than changed lighting, shouldn't we be seeing those chocobo locks quite clearly?

[Serapy]

No, it isn't. In the trial version Squall wore his normal emo jacket, but in the final release he was wearing his SeeD uniform. It would make absolutely no sense for them to leave Squall in his normal clothes in the FMV.

See, the problem is that the Trial and Final versions both already have Rinoa and Zell in the vessel, both wearing the same normal clothes. Does that make any sense to you?

In this FMV, the only difference is that Squall now wears his SeeD uniform, brightened up the general layout a bit, AND the brightness of the hair has significantly changed (or added.) Whose hair actually looks very similar to Zell.



SquareSoft also did this:



Look at thier shadows.

I think the flashing brightness of Squall's hair comes from the machine gun fired by Quistis, alternatively other shooting going on.

I did not see any bullet being fired prior to Squall approaching the vessel. After seeing Squall's face in slow-motion catching the vessel, that's when Quistis starts firing the machine gun at X-ATM092:



When you first see Quistis's face in that animation, there's a delay going on, which is indicating that she's about to fire.

As for why it wasn't the same in the trial version, they probably just weren't finished with the lighting setup. You can see the whole scene changing lighting, if more subtly than the hair, between the versions.

They have brightened up the general layout of the FMV a bit, but I don't see how could that have effected the brightness of Squall's hair, though. Therefore, I believe that SquareSoft intentionally made the hair look much brighter.
They also changed the way how the POV looks between the versions.

Hmm, the back of selphie's shadow does look a lot like the back of Rinoa's shirt and not Selphie's skirt...

[qwertysaur]

Did it ever occur to you that the brightness is coulf be attributed to the sun?

[Lawr]

Did it ever occur to you that the brightness is coulf be attributed to the sun?

I think that's way too bright to be from the sun!

[Future Esthar]

Of course.
I know Zell´s hair is stand up but believe me.When looking from behind on the game it didn´t makes much sense.

[Serapy]

Did it ever occur to you that the brightness is coulf be attributed to the sun?

Yes, that is what I initially thought. However, the brightness on the hair does not appear to be consistent.



Does anybody want me to upload the FMVs? Although, they are ridiculously large. This FMV (Squall running to the Vessel) holds around 232MB. I love perfect quality.

[Future Esthar]

You can see a little black aura over Zell´s head which is the part of Squall´s head not covered by the former´s.(Squall´s head is bigger).

EDIT:Is it me or we can clearly see three arms at 63:86:54?
And less slightly at other times.
I think at 63:85:77 is better seen.

Heat signature.

Also when Zell's in his Garden uniform he rolls up his sleeves.
