The best: I liked the fact that the game and scenario seemed to genuinely revolve around relationships with each other. I found it refreshing that the game focused more on the emotions of the characters. This in opposition to the usual recycled fare we normally get from an RPG; a bunch of generic archetypes who have to save the world from some mass impending doom.

The bad: The focus on romance was a wonderful addition. The outcome of this fantastic idea was decidedly woeful in my humble opinion. The whole saga was badly thought-out, and the chemistry between Squall and Rinoa was lacklustre at best, until the latter fell into a full-induced comatose state. I know a few men possibly prefer women like this, but I found it bizarre that the transformation of Squall is instantaneous upon the onset of Rinoa's condition. The same man who didn't flinch when she was being attacked by beasties during the segment dealing with the assassination of Sorceress Edea until heavily prompted by Irvine.

Probably read too much into this! haha
