Think about it. At first, you would think Squall is dying for good in that FMV and then you're all happy 'cause he's survived a few scenes later. That was what SquareSoft wanted to happen. So, if they wanted to make you feel sad, they wouldn't be showing off stuff that serves no purpose. There is no purpose in being cooll...
Squall got stabbed by a freakin icicle. I think that constitutes as COOL and ENTERTAINING. Sure and SAD if you're that much of a pansy. There's no purpose in being cool!? They make these FMV's to be cool because it's not like they randomly say "oh let's just make another full motion video, no problem!" It was 1998 when they made this! When they make a FMV they want it to be as entertaining as possible. Why did Edea have spades for pupils? Probably because the programmers were told she was a sorceress so make her look evil and non-humanish. And they did from her magic hair, earrings, white pale skin, FREAKIN CLAWS, and those purple veins around her eyes.
