Quifer . . .
Okay, I started replaying FF8 again ( for the 8th time ) and I actually got mad. This irritates me . . .
Selphie - Irvine
Rinoa - Squall
Zell - Chick at the Library
Whose there for Quistis? If I had it my way I would have sparked somethin' between Seifer and Quistis. I think their chemistry was great ( even if I don't think they developed the two characters enough ).
They just seem to have the wonderful love, hate relationship that would have been interesting to view. What do you think?
I absolutely LOVE Seifer. I've always said that my opinion of FF8 would be stellar if he were the main character and not that whiny git Squall, but I digress.
Seifer and Quistis... now there's an interesting proposition. A little bit of the good responsible girl going for the bad boy, hmmm?
May be the source for some very loverly fanfic, or at least some H, eh?
I've always found the story of Seifer to be much more intriquing than Squall's. *Shrugs* Seifer wasn't a bad person and I think he was very sweet and romantic with talk about his dreams and such. He was ( and still is ) my favorite Final Fantasy character and I doubt that any other will take his place. ^_^- Even though all the bad things that came out of it, Seifer was true to himself and his romantic dream. *Smiles* That's what was so attractive about him.
I think that Quistis could hold her own with him. You can see where she isn't afraid to challenge him where others are. The whole "Good Luck" thing in the beginning had me totally swooning over the two as an item. ^_^-
Maybe it's just me but I could see their relationship being more interesting than Rinoa and Squall's was.
LadySteph, I noticed that yesterday when i was staring at the wall scroll of FFVIII that my roomie has.
Quistis is a good, strong female, though... and personally, as her character, she doesn't really need a guy... although with the theme of love running rampant in this FF, I don't know why she never ended up with anyone.
Look out! Spoilers!
I'm not fond of Seifer. He was arrogant and often abusive, particularly toward Quistis. I didn't see any 'chemistry' at all... remember how Seifer threatened to torture her if Squall didn't answer his questions?
His attitude toward Rinoa demonstrated, for me, that he's very quick to turn his back on a relationship. Quistis, on the other hand, seems more serious and deep.Maybe they wanted to show that there isn't a 'happy ending' for everyone? As in reality, some people just always miss out.Quistis is a good, strong female, though... and personally, as her character, she doesn't really need a guy... although with the theme of love running rampant in this FF, I don't know why she never ended up with anyone.
Xu! *runs*
I didn't like Quistis very much. She just seemed so.. needy. Seifer is an over-confident self-centered menace, though he's hard not to like. I don't think they'd make a good pair. However, if they did get together, Quistis would very quickly have her heart broken and Seifer would end up a a strip club with Raijin.
Re: Look out! Spoilers!
Who WOULDN'T turn his back on Rinoa? I think it's less a loyalty issue than it is a perfectionist issue. I just don't see Seifer letting an annoying bubbly lovestruck puppy follow him around. Seifer strikes me as the kind of person who would be a virgin just because he hasn't found anyone up to his standards. Quistis is a tough girl, but I don't think she'd have the patience for Seifer. She's strict and serious, and Seifer's cocky, self-indulgent and mischevious. I also see Quistis as kind of... um, lesbian, or at least bi (which isn't a bad thing at all, of course). O_o The whole (SPOILER)being in love with Squall thing seems very unfitting for her.Originally posted by Big D

Well, in Galbadia Garden Seifer (SPOILER)tries to manipulate Rinoa using their past relationship as a verbal ploy, suggesting he still cares, and then sets out to kill her. Hence my assessment of him.
That's because it's RINOA. She's stupid, clingy, and altogether very easily manipulated. I don't think it was that Seifer is a heartless person quick to abandon relationships- I think that, if he ever shared real, honest-to-goodness love with someone, he'd be very loyal. I doubt the Seifer x Rinoa thing was very serious to begin with. Maybe I loathe Rinoa too much to see her with one of my favorite characters and it's affecting my opinion, but I think a real relationship between them was just Rinoa being delusional Rinoa.Originally posted by Big D

Hey Quistis has that Trepie#1 doesn't she?
Trepies are just groupies.
I personally think Quistis is too good for any of those boys.
Quistis is hot, strict, and yields a whip with an incredible amount of skill. Methinks she should quit Garden and head out to be a professional dominatrix, and have a legion of elgible and submissive men and women at her disposal *nods*
Although there is little evidence to support a Quistis/Seifer pairing in the game, and I never thought of it personally before having it suggested to me by other FF8 fans, I must say I have become a fan of the "Quifer" relationship. Sure, its just speculation, sure, it would probably never happen, but its just plain fun, and it adds another dimension to a female character who didn't get much play in the actual game.
I also think that Quistis and Seifer are quite similar in some ways; both are talented individuals who ultimately fail at the task they are assigned because they are not quite cut out for it personality-wise (Seifer doesnt' make SeeD, Quistis is fired as an Instructor). As a result of this failure, they both suffer blows to their egos which leads them into self-doubt. They both require lots of attention and approval from others; Seifer's need for acceptance leads him to follow the Sorceresses, while Quistis' need sends her chasing after Squall. Finally, they both have stubborn, dominating personalities - both like to be in control of every situation and have difficulty dealing with things when they are not.
I think they'd have an interesing relationship - and I think in a fight, neither would back down. Rinoa is too submissive for Seifer - he may have enjoyed her rebelious streak at first, but I can see Seifer wanting someone who's more likely to stand up to him and not put up with his crap. Quistis would tell him where to go.
