Squall: Great Protagonist, or snarky dip trout?

[Greatermaximus]

Where do you stand on Squall, he's seems to be either hated or at least respected for for the way he was written. Is he a emo-loser with an attitude problem that makes him completely unlikable or do you like his contrast of dialogue and internal monologue help to make him one of the most intimate characters in the series?

I'll describe my interpretation of the original questions.

>>> First sentence.

Drawing conclusions though it might fit what people say about him. That doesn't mean we're fully qualified to make a judgment about something we don't know fully. We can only base it on what the author reveals to us and what's expected to be believed.

>>> Second Sentence.

You're only giving a diverse forum two choices. This might still be drawing conclusions. A better way to ask imo is to ask at what point is Squall a more intimate character.

There might be something in him that could say 'When I want to be' if the situation called for it. I'm even trying to stay in an authors perspective too. As a character I wouldn't know if he'd say that but the game gave you choices.

My conclusion is that fiction is trying to imitate reality. Characters and situations are based on mortality. It means it could develop biases, idioms, emotions that are rational/irrational? Depends on the real persons interpretation.

That's a conclusion I've drawn. And I'm not the one who asked.

Edit-the kicker is if you believe your interpretation is better than mine/going to be, then why bother asking?

Wouldn't it be fair to say any character/situation can be all it can be when it wants to be. Not when it has to be?

I knew philosophy would ruin this.
