Laguna and Squall's Relationship (Spoilers, I think)

[Skyblade]

Zell and Squall should end up together...
Do you remember when Squall rescued Zell on the desert prison, when he was operating that sort of lift machine?
It was so cute when Zell hugged him on his knees and Squall got very nervous!
He he he... I guess it will take lot of years to see a truly gay scene on a videogame.

...Never again. EVER!!!

[Abraxas]

¿?¿?¿? :whaaa:

Never again what, specifically?

[Skyblade]

Never, ever even mention that relationship again. Some things are just too wrong to be posted on the forums...

[The Anarchy Angel]

You have to admit though, that scene was kinda sweet, the whole "oh thankyou Squall!"

[Skyblade]

Yes. But I don't think that's enough reason for those two to get together, especially since I think that they are among the least compatible couples in the game.

[The Anarchy Angel]

Nha, that was going step too far i think on the whole let's make our own story line. Anyway, Zell would bounce Squall to death...persoanlly, i think it should have been:
Squall & Rinoa
Zell & Selphie
Irvy & Quistis
They'd match so good!

[Abraxas]

Mmmh... I think couples should be:
Squall and Rinoa
Irvine and Selphie (highly indicated by the game, by the way)
Zell and Fujin (hard love)
Quistis and Nida
Kiros and Laguna (they are compatible and behave like a couple, you can't deny it)

I don't think Irvine and Quistis are compatible... Quistis need a guy that takes life more seriously. Selphie and Irvine are so great together because they can have quite a funny relationship.

[Kamiko]

Zell and Fujin would just be kinky

[Gwelenguchenkus]

if any two characters were a gay couple, Squall and Zell would be the last I'd suspect.

Kiros and Laguna (they are compatible and behave like a couple, you can't deny it)

Hardly! Kiros often finds Laguna just plain embarrasing. Battle buddies, alright but gee-whiz, do you pull these gay couples out of nowhere or what? There are many levels of intimacy, but they often have nothing to do with sexuality.

But it's funny!

[Abraxas]

Mmmh... How many times I have seen that in a marriage?


I'm just kidding, ya know? We were just imagining how couples could be off the game...

But it would be great that someday we could see a non-stereotype gay character. (that travestite on the Dollet's pub doesn't count)

Many transvestites aren't gay at all (but I think the one in Dollet was hitting on Squall?).

Sadly, society is still a long way from acceptance of gay couples, in Japan and elsewhere (hell, prejudice will always exist, it's just something you got to live with. Believe it or not, racism is still really bad in america in some parts, and even japan, england, you name it. People are still having wars over it) and with a company like SE that is out for money, they try and please the largest audience, thus we may never see an openly(or seriously) gay couple in a game in our lifetime.

HOW the heck did this arguement change into this?

Anyway, I have one question a little more on-topic. That Moomba needs blood to sense who is who, right? So we can asume it has licked both Squall and Laguna's blood? How can we be sure it actually did this? This seems to be a very weak link between the two(I'm not denying they are related, I have no doubts of that at all). The fact the Moomba confused Squall for Laguna certainly make you think, but did it really have anything to do with the blood?

[The Anarchy Angel]

Maybe they smell the same? Only joking, probably is something to do with the blood, that's what i first thougth when i played through the game

It did, yes. At one point, Laguna recovered from injuries in the Shumi Village (which is why he's such a prominent figure to the Shumi and the Moombas). In the Galbadian Prison, after Squall has bene tortured, the Moombas start calling him "Laguna" and free him.

Besides, the writer wouldn't insert a plot device for no reason.

Yes... because, when you get rejected from someone (I just imagine, ), you try to find reasons to get your dignity up. Quistis said, on the beach "A misunderstood love?"...

Considering that the line had parentheses around it, it was a line she was saying to herself in her own head and not to anyone else. It wasn't about getting her dignity up, but about her realizing the true nature of those feelings and admitting them to herself.

So the misunderstood love was actually misunderstood by her?

Yes.

[Kamiko]

I'm still seeing Seifer and Squall as the compatible couple here.
