Could FFVIII be about nuclear war?
Consider this picture of of the moon.
Now consider this codec scene from Metal Gear Solid.
Could Konami and Square be sending a message? The sky around the moon is sorta the same color as the Codec portraits. Think about if the sky around the moon is the same color of the Codec portraits in Metal Gear Solid and MGS is about stopping people from launching a nuclear weapon, and nuclear weapons are real, think about it for a second.
