You all seem to forget the most important thing; it's a video game. While they do try to keep it realistic, most of the time you have to go to hell with realism and use a bit of fantasy/science fiction to let the story progress.

Some enemies can shoot a lot of bullets at the main characters, and yet none of them get killed by it, whereas in the real world, one can be sufficent to kill a person. If getting shot by multiple bullets won't kill you, getting impaled in the shoulder by a magical ice shard probably won't kill you immediately either.

As for how Squall got healed, as it was already mentionned, Edea wanted to know the real meaning of SeeD. Letting the guy who may detain the information you want die isn't really a smart move. It's plausible that Edea, through Seifer, asked that Squall and co. be healed, questioned, and if necessary tortured in other to get the information she wanted.

Interesting point here. Like Barret getting shot by Scarlet and gang and lost one of his arm but never lost the other when random Shinra soldiers shot him.

Not a valid explanation. No one ever says "we healed him in order to interrogate him". How do you know the entire thing wasn't simply an illusionary attack, and that the reason he passed out was due to shock? You don't.

But one thing we all know that Edea want to know the real meaning of SeeD and needed them alive.

The last thing that happen in the battle is Edea said something "All SeeD must die" then came the FMV which she shoot a ice shard at Squall. Whether it is a illusionary attack or a real attack is yet to know. But we all know Squall got hit and fell down from the...car?I dun really know how to describe that thing...

Whatever that attack is, it is definetly not fatal enough to claim Squall's life.But it is a fact that Squall fell down that.."car". So, he might just hit his head when he fell onto the ground and fainted? since we cannot confirm whether anyone healed him if the attack did injure him and caused him to pass out. Just a deduction.

he got hit in the shoulder with an ice shard if that would make someone die instantly then yes he died and came back to life so square wouldn't have to listen to a bunch of muppets asking if he can be resurrected... now put in the second disc and play the thing

Carbuncle saves him! Then Edea explodes.

**sparkie** · 08-15-2005, 03:44 PM

I don't get why Edea was supposed to be assassinated from one bullet but when you're in battle you could shoot her a hundred times and she'd still be alive and kicking...

Exactly the point Takara raised up.

**sparkie** · 08-15-2005, 04:06 PM

Yes but it's not just inconsistent with real life, it's inconsistent within the game, which is different.

**ThroneofDravaris** · 08-15-2005, 04:18 PM

Are you really that worried about physical discrepancies in a game that includes time compression?

Anyway, I have a new theory as to what happered:

Edea’s limit break is a piss weak attack that couldn’t kill anything.

Seriously, it did like 200 damage on disk 3…

That's exactly my point. It would be nice to know what really happened but we're just as well off assuming they sprinkled a dash of cure magic on him and voila! I like magic. Magic is nice.
