    The fact that the gunblade makes no sense at all gets to me. That and he's a horrible character.

    His attitude was fine... but then all of the sudden he did a complete 180 and became a whole different character for no reason. That was stupid and made him a terrible character.

    I'm glad Squall changed toward the end, becoming a more heroic persona that I would expect in a main character. I wouldn't have liked the game as much if he had stayed the same sulky guy the whole way through. And yes, I agree that the change was kinda sudden. I think Square left out an extra disc between disc 2 and 3 where Squall just sits in a psychologists office talking for 6 hours.

    It's not either personality that's the problem, it's the fact that the change was completly random. Why did he become a different person? The team nags at him for a while and then he's just like "Oh, well I'll change into a completly different person than the one I was for pretty much my entire life." and become completly obsessed with this girl and whatnot. It was just dumb and it killed the game for me. Not to mention that the game had this focus on Squall and Rinoa, completly leaving the rest of the team in the dark as far as development went, and it really caused me to dislike Squall (and Rinoa) more than I already did.

    I like Squall's attitude. It rocks! He's such a mean guy. I haven't actually beaten Disc 2 yet 'coz I keep getting stuck in Balamb when you have to fight Faijin and Rujin. But I think that Squall's jacket is cool. The only thing I don't like is the way they put all those stupid lion symbol things around...on the menu screen....on his blade...around his neck....in his room...It gets annoying.

    Wait for it. Squall turns from a 'mean guy' to a sniveling little turd.

    Squall didn't do a 180, Squall was always like the character that you see him become. Throughout the first half of the game, he is giving people a facade, due to several psychological issues that he hadn't worked through. When he is alone with an unconscious Rinoa (so basically alone, for the first time since the very beginning of the game), you see who he really is because there is no one for him to put his facade up for. So in that scene, he is speaking to Rinoa, but it's more an apostrophe than dialogue. Squall suffers from basical childhood trauma that he didn't correctly process which gives him an unconcious anti-socialness that he puts on without even thinking about it (which I saw through after the first 30 minutes of gameplay). The scene where he "does a 180" is perfectly timed, and perfectly performed. And toward the end of the game, you see him struggle with this want to put up his facade and his eventual comfortness with his companions, not to mention his love for Rinoa. All in all, I'd say Squall is one of the top three most thought out and well developed characters that Square has ever created. Not to mention they made him rather attractive.

    So what's wrong with Squall? He was an introverted child who, through several traumatic childhood experiences, grew up to be an anti-social teenager who would rather vomit than let people know him.

    Whatever. I hate Squall! Rinoa always cares about him and what he says? WHATEVER! If Rinoa said "Squall, I love you!" his answer would be "Whatever" too?
