Yeah, it's not Kingdom Hearts Friends are Power, it's just a matter of knowing where you want to go. Squall gets isolated for a bit, because throughout the entire game he's uninterested in making friends, and therefore has no memories that immediately makes him go "omg that was such an awesome day!"
