Thread: A scene with Selphie that I just discovered after 10 years...*MILD SPOILERS*

  1. #1

    ZOMG! A scene with Selphie that I just discovered after 10 years...*MILD SPOILERS*

    When you first arrive at Trabia Garden, Selphie runs off and you find her chatting with a girlfriend. For the past 10 years, I usually run off to the right to the Cemetary to pick up the Timber Maniacs on the ground, and then proceed pretty much straight to the basketball courts for the Story/History dump where the characters discuss their relationships to each other.

    What I never thought to do, until now, is after Selphie talks to those two young kids about the teddy bear, head back to the Graveyard to see a rather chilling scene with Selphie.

    Does anybody else know about this? Why haven't I ever seen anybody mention it in any walkthroughs before now?

    Cheers!

    [EDIT] Here's the scene: YouTube - FF8 *No Levelling* - #100.5 - Grieving Selphie

    Yeah, that bit's pretty tragic. If the game were in FFX's kind of presentation it would have been even more chilling, just seeing Selphie sad :/

    I remember doing that only once accidentally. For the life of me, I can't remember what she said. Someone remind me? The thread's already been marked for spoilers anyway.

    Uhh I think what happened was, a couple of the younger students lost the teddy bear Selphie gave them in the explosion, and they were upset so she was like, "It's okay guys, Mr. Bear is watching you so you have to smile for him ;_;!"

    That happens, but that isn't what Selphie says when she's in the graveyard.

    Tell me, gosh-darnit!

    I tried to google it, but I just got a bunch of spoiler-free walkthroughs and some fanfiction.

    I thought you were going to talk about the amazing scene where you catch a glimpse of her panties.

    For those eager to know what the scene is, I'm going to record it and then upload it as an extra into my LP on YouTube showing it.

    This was one of the interesting things about this game - while VII before it gave you scenes with the "other" characters (i.e, not the main two or three) as part of your next mission objectives, for VIII it's for the most part optional. A nice touch in my opinion.

    It is a good scene. IIRC, she talks about finally having the concert, even though the Garden Festival never took place. And she grieves for her friends. Apologizing for failing to stop the missiles too. I don't have a super clear memory of the scene, but that is what I recall.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Yeah, I remember her talking about the Garden Festival and the concert. I think her friends might have been part of the Festival Committee at Trabia.
