But the second time around I looked at everything that was happening through a logical viewpoint. Some of the things done by the characters in this game are just flat out stupid. I could rant for days about some of the stupid things that were done, or some of the dumb choices that were made by them. For example, Quistis abandons her post at the assassination JUST to apologize to Rinoa for making her feel bad. Well, one she's a trained mercanarie, hell, she instructs them. Why would she leave her post, playing such a critical role in the plan, and go back JUST to say sorry? That, to me, was lazy as hell and degraded my opinion. Another example, Irvine knew the sorcerress raised them and he didn't say a word through out the story about it, up till that point. I mean, you think he would have had some sense and told everyone these kinda things, but no. He just... doens't. That, again, is lazy. I think my love for the characters were runied as soon as I looked at what they did as characters. You know what I mean? There were just some things in FF8 that drove me up the wall, in terms of characters and how they react with their envoirnments. Ya know?
