    Default How did squall survive that big ice chunk?

    Seriously.. I've played this game countless times, but I don't think that it ever explaines what happened. He clearly gets impaled by Edea, but when he wakes up at the beginning of the second disc he has no wound at all and is perfectly fine. How is that explained?

    It dosnt get explained but its kind of obvious. Edea needed to know what the meaning of SeeD is. She thinks because Squall is the leader, Cid wouldve told him (which is not the case), so she prevents him from dying after he falls from the parade float. Thats the most logical explaination. Shes got the power!!!

    Edea's limit break is piss weak.

    Seriously, try it out; it does like, 200 damage on disk 3!

    Given that Edea's Ice Strike seems to strike Squall in his shoulder, as opposed to the more critical areas nearby, it doesn't really need to be considered a miracle that he survived the attack.

    Further, healing beyond normal means is clearly possible in FFVIII. Note that in the D-District Prison, Selphie's attempts to utilize a Cure spell are undone by the presence of an anti-magic field.

    Selphie: Draw... Cure!

    Zell: Ow ow ow...

    Quistis: It's no use. There seems to be an anti-magic field here.
    This suggests that even para-magic (to say nothing of the power of the Witch Embodiment) is legitimate as an applicable force in real world physics as well as battle mechanics. As such, it's probable that the means to preserve Squall's life were at hand, if his life was really even in danger.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, and forgive me for just being a dick but Squall isn't the leader of SeeD at that point in the game.

    But I think it just makes it more dramatic really.

    Maybe she just used those sword duds they use in movies to scare Squall's brains out! You know those fake swords with belt-thingies in the middle!

    it is true that Squall got hit in the shoulder, so it's not really surprising that he survived, and there wouldn't be any scar visible cos he wears a shirt and jacket.
    I'm sure Square would have an explaination, they wouldn't put something in without reasoning...
