Oh please don't make this into a fans of FF8 vs. Fans of all the other FFs. Please.

I thought the ending was absolutely perfect. No really, nothing could have made it better. If it would have ended with Rinoa pointing, I would have been like "WTF" is that, I want to see Squall again. Because he's the main character, and it's necessary to have that closure. It worked, in my opinion, for FF7, because of it's particular plot and atmosphere, but for FF8 that would have been a load of crap.

This is all in my opinion, though. As usual.
