Remembering the Orphan: Final Fantasy VIII < Features | PopMatters
I am not marking my spoilers because the game is a decade old. If you are playing through this for the first time, then why are you in this thread?
*Last Spoiler Warning*
Anyway, the article made some really good points on what I thought were weak moments in the game. Though, I still say the "GFs made us forget" plot twist would have worked a lot better if they foreshadowed it (the optional blurb on Squall's internet Facebook desk thingy does NOT count) or at least built up to it better. I know they had it planned all along, but the way it was presented made it accidentally look like very lazy writing.
Your thoughts?
