So having Quistis in my party for important things has given me a lot more dialogue/characterization with her. As such, I have a new spin on the thing that makes most people infuriated with her.

The infamous "let's abandon my post and go apologize to Rinoa!!!" scene.

All her later, optional dialogue, when you take her into space, or with you to the Orphanage near the end of Disk 3, has her talking about how much she knows Rinoa means to Squall. Hell, even during the "we all grew up together" flashback she thinks/mumbles to herself that she had "given up" on Squall when Rinoa came around.

So I think the reason she bitched at Rinoa is not because Rinoa was acting stupid, but because she was jealous and saw Rinoa as a romantic rival. As such, even while she was fully justified in calling out Rinoa's idiocy, she did it for the wrong, petty and selfish reasons. Hence the guilt.


Thoughts?
