When you're playing the game do you ever wish that Squall didn't fall for Rinoa?

I would have to say that VII and VIII are two of my favorite games, with Squall + Rinoa as one of my favorite couples. I too thought they fit together perfectly. I never found her annoying, but did get really irritated with Selphie. I'll admit, I think I wanted to punch her at times. I thought she was childish and required too much attention from men (which is why Irvine's personality works for her). Quistis I thought was too motherly and serious for him.

In my opinion, both Rinoa and Squall are flawed and human, which is why they work so well together. They complement each other and change for the better. Squall is introverted, closed off, too serious, etc. Rinoa brings him out of his shell because she's so needy/annoying/whatever you guys want to call it. She sticks around, she shows that she wants to be with him, that she depends on him and cares for him. Maybe that's "needy" to some, but if you really like someone you don't mind the neediness. Rinoa on the other hand...someone said that she's too open/honest about what she wants...that there's no mystery to her...but maybe that open honesty is what Squall needs in a partner. He's so scared of getting hurt that being with someone as open as her comforts him. I actually like that she acts confident and sure of herself, even when she's not...she goes for what she wants! And I feel that she had more depth to her because she did put up a strong front until she actually faced battle, but Squall eventually sees how delicate she is. And doesn't everyone have a front to some extent? Getting past the mask that they put on is part of falling in love with them. They GROW together and that's why I think they make such a great couple.

Then again...I'm just a sucker for the whole "Even if the world becomes your enemy... I'll be your knight, I'll protect you." *swoon* <swoon> <swoon></swoon></swoon>
