Can I just say I love that for the first time in ages, he's wearing the poofy jacket right instead of the slimmed down version the Dissidia games keep giving him. I really liked his introduction, he actually came across as interesting and kinda cool, like he should from FF8. I never got the vibe of a military soldier in FF8 while playing, but this definitely painted with the salute, music, and the way he spoke with short and quick responses identifying the situations at hand. Well done.
While I definitely prefer the poofy jacket over the slimmer one, I'm more happy everything else about his design is on point. The leg sash, waist fur, the overly long v-neck shirt and messy waist belts always cluttered Squalls simple design far more than the slim jacket. the fact they also remembered to make his jacket poofy is icing on the cake.
@@15Linkmaster I wanted to say this too, slim jacket is fine IMO but god I hate the extra fur, belt and sash they added around his waist; that’s the biggest throw off. They could keep the v-neck and slim jacket and I’d see it as modernizing instead of screwing around with.
@@reloadpsi I think the only thing that was notably translated differently with him is that he gives several other curt and dismissive responses (like "Well excuse me/get off my back/Oh geez/Annoying/Who cares/etc") in Japanese instead of the typical "whatever" he uses in the English version. Hardly "badly translated" and I personally found the usage of "whatever" to be much more amusing and humorous.
His expression is just like he had been brainwashed and he slowly breaking out of it. It's like any poor soldier attended military school just like him
That "I haven't taken my exams yet." was very random it should've been the least of his concerns coming to Palamecia lol reminds me years ago when I picked the hotdog supplies option when Squall was giving instructions while Balamb Garden was being attacked by Galbadian Garden 😂 Edit: I wanted to smack whoever agreed to do that terrible design of Squall in Dissidia. This is what his design should've been like in that game. I'd take OG Squall any day everyday than that horrible one smh
yeah, that confuses me to this day. exactly at what timeline in FF8 universe did Squall got brought to Palamecia? he hasn't taken his exam but he has already promised Rinoa? this is unsolvable
Puandari I’d blame time compression. Because of time compression, FF8 takes place in a never-ending loop, so Squall was probably taken whenever, and his memories from all throughout the game got scrambled.
Gilgamesh (in the first Battle Tower event involving him) pronounces "Balamb" the way I do, Squall and Quistis (in WoFF) pronounce "Balamb" pretty differently from how I say it. 6:32 Dissidia NT reference?! But Zidane is Wol here, and he wasn't THAT annoyed
I don't think it was meant to be a reference. Squall is far away from home, and he is not exactly the type of person who starts bonding with people the first chance he gets. He litereally just met Wol and co. and he has reservations for now.
keep in mind the events of FF8 event takes place during the moment when Squall was still traveling through the Void/Compressed Time before Rinoa found him.
@MagicalConch89 I'd honestly say it should be somewhere between Cloud and Noctis but slightly deeper and with an attitude. This dude sounds like a 40yr old when Squall is only 17 xD
@@TheShadowfan9000 I'm aware of that fact, this voice actor is fine for KH Squall because he is in his mid twenties (if I remember correctly). He definitely gives him a much deeper and mature voice for a 17yr old. If they ever remake FF8.... I want someone new for him and Rinoa (her eng dub sounds awful in Dissidia NT)
Raven Phantom funny, this is what my peers would say about me when I was a teen, but after a few years of being an adult my peers have now say tell me my voice “morphed into sexy somehow” lol (in others words some folks have their “grown up voice” before they body be ready?)

He was quite badly translated in the English version of FF8.

Ahhh Squall’s inner monologue, the juicy stuff.
Dint play that game but squall looks like when he is lost in the time compresion thnig
Squall is probably one of the most handsome FF character.
Squall: *Talks*
Me: *Faints*
Sadly he dint say whatever
The SeeD Salute!
5:11 Seed Salute
5:26 "Bala~mb? Where's that?" So cute
I love the minute Squall introduces himself Wol realises that this is a collab and just explains what he needs to do, in order to go home xD
Traveling to other world in a nutshell
He’s used to world Traveling.
His expression is just like he had been brainwashed and he slowly breaking out of it. It's like any poor soldier attended military school just like him

my hairstyle in highschool i still rock it today
I wish this game didn't get shut down
Wait a minute...if Squall hasn’t taken his SeeD exam yet...he hasn’t met Rinoa yet...which means he hasn’t made the promise

He's forgetting random stuff because of the GF.
Forget about rinoa! Who cares about her!
@@TheBlueboy7777 that’s a weird comment to make given she’s literally relevant to the “promise”
Always want to go alone, but in game rarely goes alone.
Force Your Way is awesome!
0:35 What the? This is awesome, can someone please tell me the title of the background music?
Force Your Way - Final Fantasy VIII. It's the equivalent of Battle Theme 2 from previous FF Games
So is this Squall coming from the Time Kompression scene, where he's finding his way back to the Land of Promise, to Rinoa?
They look good fighting together.. too bad this game ended :(
Thank you for sharing your precious playthrough

Zidane: You're gonna go alone?!
Squall: It'll be easier that way.

It's like there 2 Squalls, the one who is talking and said about the promise and the inner Squall, like they separated, right? Mind and body... 🤔
Squall voice sounds alot like Chris Redfield from resident evil 5 lol
Voiced Squall upsets me. I had a different, softer voice in my head all these years
WoL and the two girls are like tourist guide for lost children (so many characters lost their way there) lol
so much work put into this game and they shut it down :( didn't even get to finish the FFX story
yeah, i like this game's stories. love how they have kind of a spin-off of FF, especially FF8
Solid Squall
correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that enemy one of the bosses from ultimecia's castle? Catoblepas i believe it's called?
Nah, this is a recolored Behemoth.
That picture in the end, was that from ff 8 original or is it a recreation?
How the hell can you even yell what's going on it's like Michael bay got ahold of this game XD
What game is this? Ps4? I love ff8
Mobile game
Squall
...Whatever.
Squall's voice doesn't suit him whatsoever 🤨
How? It's the same one they've used in dissidia for the past few years and in Kingdom Hearts....
