Hmnmm.... with Squall and such, the personal matters have come to a nice end. Any FF VIII movie or sequel would need different protagonists I would think. Maybe Irvine or such could go in again, but Squall and Rinoa might be better NPC's.

However, the world OUTSIDE them, while no longer threathened by time compression, ISN'T exactly stable is it? Esthar got overrun by monsters. Remember what happened to the Cetra civilization? Esthar is gonna have to fight for his life. Galbadia is suddenly leaderless, with Timber probably in revolt. Likely you'll get Esthar refuguees, but there might be old hatreds between vengeful people from 'the other continents' and the Xenophobic Estharians. SeeD is probably having an idenity crisis. Are they mercenaries? Or soldiers specialized in hunting Sorceresses? Should they hunt down ALL sorceresses. but the Commander's wife is.... eh... Are there more Sorceresses around? Oh, and what's up with Guardian Forces?

And beyond all that. What IS happening there on the moon. There seems to be a link between Guardian Forces, Sorceresses, Monsters and the moon. Is someone upthere, hatefully glaring down at humanity?

Hyne?

No, I think the world of FF VIII might not be , despite the calm state of Balamb and Balamb Garden, a very peaceful place.
