That's exactly what I was thinking of. I should have mentioned it before. It kind of ruins the fight when it's three-on-one, and ruins the sense of rivalry. It would be a lot more epic and intense if only Squall faced Seifer all three times, and if Seifer was much more difficult to beat, especially the third time.

I think everybody's treating Seifer like a minor character, and maybe he was. Maybe the only real major characters were Squall and Rinoa. The only thing I'm trying to say is that I think it would have added a hell of a lot more to the game if Square had focused more on the tension between all three of them, rather than concentrating almost exclusively on the love story. It made everything seem hunky-dory and by the end I didn't feel like there was a major conflict going on, even with the fact that there was a sadistic sorceress from the future trying to compress all of time. But this is all opinion; I'm not saying Square was wrong or anything. They did exactly what they intended, and that's awesome.
