a) good voice acting, he portrayed squalls serious yet personally apathetic view nicely.

B) he DID say whatever. i don't remember when, but i KNOW he said it, i believe it was either to yuffie or Sora. Seriously, i can hear it in my head right now, as i type.

c) yeah, definitely a toned down version of Squall, and the personality was wrong. He wasn't tortured and whiny anymore, or lost without rinoa like squall would have been. and the real squall would ahve been in soras party, kicking ass and taking names. Like hell squall would have jsut let some little kid take care of things.
