    Squall does not die in the ending. Simple as that. That we SEE him in the end is just more proof that he did not.

    Actually, Squall died when Sorceress Edea shanked him with Blizzara, then he died (or blacked out the second time) after his second encounter with Edea/Seifer... When he saw the helmet explode in space, he realized that it wasn't Rinoa that was in danger of dying... It was him....

    But any way, Sorceress Rinoa brought him back to life again, permenantly and happy ending... Tah-dah...

    Of course this is just IMHO...

    DAMN IT! SQUALL DID NOT DIE! WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THAT!?

    Look, if Squall did die then the part at the end during the credits would have been a funeral-like gathering. It would not be like a typical party. Everyone is having way too much fun if someone as close to them like Squall died.

    It's as simple as that.

    actually. most of the people who think squall die, also believe he was revived. when squall faints or dies or whichever one it is in time compression and rinoa comes, she might not have reacted the same way as she did if squall was alive. but yeah. if squall stayed dead, the party at the end would be much too happy for when someone close has just died.

    We only need three screenshots:

    Rinoa thinks she's dead or something:




    But then, there's a surprise on her face:


    And a pleasant surprise,--Rinoa smiles-- which means Squall probably awoke:


    That's it, end of the story, Squall don't die! ^_^

    Squall didn't die, but it'd be a pretty cool end if he did! The main character died...

    rinoa either thought he was dead or he was dead. we cant prove either of these theories wrong so unless anyone has solid proof that isn't mainly on opinion, squall could have died or fainted.

    Yes.... YES!!! He lives! He lives!:


    And so, Squall is revived AGAIN, as he was twice in the game. Two times he died, earlier, and now he is alive so long as Sorceress Rinoa's heart desires. Now, and forever...

    ::sigh::

    Anyone wishing to prove that Squall died, ever, would be incredibly hard pressed to find evidence to support the claim, given that he's alive and kicking after every one of these supposed 'deaths', and the party and the enemy both have access to healing magics.

    Ah... Agreed, but the Para-Magics are limited as like with conventional weaponry they are practically useless. Such as the scars left on Squall and Seifer. Basically, zee Curative Para-Magics are like immediate first aid kits, or stim-paks. Ozhervise, zee Galbadian and SeeDs vould continue in a endless strrrruggle in zee 'representive' battles. Mostly, zey are healed after zee battle, instead of during. Besides, most of the battle damage resprezented is nothing more zun, endurance lost during defending and vot not...

    Such extensive damage say, a extremely large chunk of shrapnel vere to pierce zhrogh zome von zat vould be most unfortunate. Zuch is zee chase of Herr Leonheart. It is believed zat it vas the extreme magics of Sorceress Rinoa zat kept him alive after zee shard of ice pierced him and zee subsequent other mysterious black out. Zee zecond black out detailed in the Official Ultimecia Report: File 9-1-1 Disk 2. States zat Herr Leonhart zuddenly collapsed and cluthced his area of his body vhere he had previously been stabbed through, and complaining about pains in his body. Zis maybe connected to the black-out previously in
    zee file report found in Disk One of the O.U.R.

    Vell, anyvay, I've zaid mine piece vor now...

    NOTE: Just have fun with this kids... Honestly, dude (thread starter), nobody knows and the lack of audio with only visual interpretations leaves it up to you. Some believe that he died, some believe that he died and came back to life. Some believe... believe in faires... Whatever... Just enjoy whatever interpretation you want.

    I personally believe all that I just posted and I'm not saying that's officially what happened. I'm just saying that that's what I believe happened. Now you go have fun and express yourself.

    Speaking like Odine does not make people more likely to believe, or more inclined to read, your posts.

    It is believed zat it vas the extreme magics of Sorceress Rinoa zat kept him alive after zee shard of ice pierced him and zee subsequent other mysterious black out.
    Rinoa was not a sorceress at the time of his first stabbing.

    Given that he was stabbed in a non vital spot, that people have actually lived through much worse, that Selphie was using Curatives to try and heal Zell in the prison (out of battle, so not using battle mechanics), that Squall also thought they would be of use in pitched battle, Squall living and being healed by whatever means seems more than probable.

    UNGABLIEGH! Vas you means, 'non-vitalz zpotz'? Zee zhard took up zhree quarters of his chest cavity, including zee lungs, spinnal column, and zee heart!

    Sorceress Rinoa vas under zee influence of Sorceress Edea/Ultimecia at zee time and vas/is zee Successor of Sorceress Edea/Ultimecia, it iz speculated zat she possibly used her latent Sorceress Powers to sustain Herr Leonhart from zuch a vethal vound.

    Zee fact, as dictated in zee report, zat the SeeDs vere unable to use any Para-Magics vithin zee prison indicates zat apparently curative magics vere not zee answer to zis mystery.

    I only hope zat Herr Leonheart can give zome light to zees mysterious black-outs during zee trial...

    Try again, PAK. It enters just below and left of his shoulder, missing his lungs, heart, and spine. Not pleasant by any means, but definitely survivable.

    Rinoa had no sorceress power at the time, so it's unlikely she was the solution.

    Selphie COULD use magic, albeit very limitedly. Though again, she's not the one I suspect used it. A dead man tells no tales, and Ulti wanted info.

    And seriously, this isn't an RP board. Your silly accent is only making reading your post more of a chore than it already is.
