First of all, I have played through FF8, thank you very much Legolas63.
i throughly enjoyed FF8, and if you played it more then you'll agree.
I have also played Numbers 1,2,4,7,8,10, so you can't say I'm a immature person. Anyway, enough with that, you are right about the love thing. Garnet and Zidane aren't really the love intrest of FFIX. All the other FFs have love intrests. However sometimes I think that Zidane just wants something, or one, to make him happy. Think about it, he is a lonely thief, with only a few friends. The poor guy needs a shoulder to cry on. That I guess is the real purpose of Garnet. I suppose that she doesn't really love him. She just sees him as a excuse to act not so serious as she should as a princess. Just like Tidus and Yuna, Tidus lets Yuna chill out and not be so tight with herself and emotions. Zidane releases the fun side of Garnet.
