Rinoa's index finger.

[Xzirox]

I was pretty sure that she was like "One moment please"...
i mean, she never looks up on the star before OR while pointing her finger.

Yes, she does. Both times.

And here we go, some screenshots taken by me to prove my point. If you
haven't played the entire game to the ending, you shouldn't be reading
this thread, but if you are,
don't look at this post.

The beginning of the first movie. Camera on the sky.


Shooting star goes by.


Squall looking up in the direction of the window.


Looks down and starts to look over to his left at Rinoa


Rinoa LOOKING AT THE SKY.


Rinoa looks over, sees Squall, and points toward the direction that she
was looking.



Now the ending movie.
Rinoa looking up at the sky from the balcony.


The night sky.


Star going by...



Rinoa looking up at the sky some more.


Rinoa turns to her right and points to the direciton that she was looking.


Squall looking up.


Squall looks at Rinoa.

I'm convinced... Sad... But convinced.

[Flashback007]

He is right. No doubt, but the discussion was confusing, very confusing

[Xzirox]

Alright, point proven :rolleyes2

[Cloudane]

You know. 10-15 years ago if I'd said in the future we'd be sat from our own homes talking to other people around the world, it might've seemed plausable.

If I'd said we'd all be sat here arguing about the meaning of someone's index finger in the 8th Final Fantasy though, I probably would've been locked in a padded cell

[Polaris]

No she wanted to say ' get away or ***** u' but she got wrong in the finger!!!! I'm joking... Opt. is right!

[Forgotten_Hope]

To me this signature simply looks like a way to obtain someones attention and that would make alot of sense since she did get Squall's attention after all

But whoever is going to argue with me I've not finished the game yet so shhhhh I'm working on it

EDIT: Please don't double post. -SD

[Del Murder]

Good job opt, you should be a lawyer.

[Optium]

Thanks, I've been told I should be a politician too. Not sure I would
enjoy either in the least. I'll just stick with my plan to be a farmer. ;]

Its supposed to represent a special moment between Squall and Rinoa.
When she sees him at the dance shes pointing to the fireworks to symbolise a special moment shared between them. And at the end it's supposed to give the same idea about the shooting star.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It's a shooting star both times.

Rinoa's index finger ? How bloody obscure a detail of the entire game can you get ? Next you'll be posting threads , having massive debates about really trivial matters like " why does Kiros wear beads in his hair ? " , " does Irvine have a spotty tie ? " or " is Laguna's jacket at waist length ? ".

C'mon people let's discuss someof the more significant aspects of FF , please.

...What?

The reason for this forum is to discuss any and all things relating to Final
Fantasy VIII. If there WERE a post about why Kiros has beads in his hair,
that would be perfectly fine. The fact is that many people did not, until
this post, realize why she does the finger thing--as we can see by many
of the posts. I find debating extremely fun and I wish there were more
on this forum that I could hop into. Just because it's not a central
issue in the game doesn't mean that the post should never have been. I
had a long debate over the way time works in FFVIII with Bahamut and
I loved every minute of it. It's a completely trivial detail when it comes
to FFVIII, even more so when it comes to all of FF and even more so
when it comes to all of life. Yet somehow it was a lot of fun. I'm sure
you've discussed completely frivolous things with friends at the lunch
table and had a good time and a few laughs doing it, there's nothing
wrong with simple, everyday conversations about nothing, and there's
no difference when it comes to forums.
