and i had a horrible dream where they released this game where battles were viewed from the back, and there were 2 person parties... good thing it never really happened.
neither one thought they had no reason to live. Squall didn't want to be referred to in the past tense, so he definitely didn't want to die, in fact he feared death. He wasn't emo, he just kept to himself and believed you can only rely on yourself and if you want something done you have to do it.

Cloud, didn't know who he was. He couldn't remember the truth, or didn't want to. He tried to be greater than he was.

I don't even think the term EMO was invented when these games came out. And i didn't see either one think, oh pity me, my life sucks. AT any point, I never saw that from either one... oh, and as far as I can tell about EMO kids, it's not that they believe they don't need anyone, they do need people, they just think they're alone. Cloud was just insane cause he had conflicting memories, and Squall truly believed being alone was better. They were NOT emo
