:chuckle:
I'd just like to point out most people are insulted for not playing the originals. I understand a quality game!
I understand it enough to see the horrible character devolpment of basically all of the characters in FFVIII, thus is why I don't like them.
The entire love storyline is incredibly force...
Ex.
Rinoa: SQUALL! I LOVE YOU!
Squall: Uh-huh thats great...
Rinoa: Let's go dance!
Squall: Let's not.
Rinoa: I SAID LETS DANCE!
Don't get me started on the fact all of the characters (except Rinoa) come from the same orphanage. That was just a horrible attempt to give the characters a backstory that tied together.
And most of the characters where unoriginal, took a backseat in the story, and where stereotypical.
Ward- First off I find Ward to be the typical Strong, silent, softy. I would've found his tongue being ripped out sad... if he ever said anything worth listenning to anyway.
Kiros- The only thing I can say about him was he had an incredibly cool weapon... other then that there isn't a whole lot to judge there.
Laguna- He's a goof, and I never understood how he was funny... Unless you think people who can't talk to girls is funny, then you got you've got a funny man.
