1. That's Rinoa for you! She became so quickly infatuated with Squall she forgot about Seifer, just as quickly I might add.Originally Posted by Kain_Highwind
I know they did. But barely. They mention the stuff a couple times and then:
1. Rinoa complains about Seifer being possibly dead and then practically forgets who he was.
2. Squall completely loses his drive to overcome Seifer.
3. Seifer just kind of gets brainwashed and all of his previous motivations no longer apply.
All I'm saying is I expected a little more.
2. Character developmentSquall begins to notice there is more at stake than just proving to Seifer that he's better than him.
3. No. His previous motivations still do apply. His motivation from the beginning of the game is to become a Sorceress' Knight (see the Dollet scene, "One day I'll tell you about my romantic dream!"). He becomes a Knight and does Ultimecia's bidding, that's what a Knight does. How is this losing his previous motivations? Besides, in the final fight with Seifer, when his clothes are all tattered and his stance broken down, it's really very parallel to Seifer's mental state at that time also, broken down and tattered.
That's pretty much just a gameplay aspect, the 3 person parties and all.
As for Squall's development, it's a LITTLE deeper than that.
Anyways, Tetsuya Nomura originally wanted to have a love triangle between Squall, Rinoa, and Seifer. There was for a short time in the game, but I think it would've turned out worse if they kept the triangle...it doesn't really /fit/ with the events in the game.
Oops, long post! Gimme some slack, I just came from an R=U thread.
