    Basically what happened is that Squall got lost in time and Rinoa brought him back to the present because she kept him in her memories.

  • @volourn9764
    @volourn9764 2 года назад +8

    Rinoa and Squall's love got them through time to their meeting place. That is why the music got 'happy' and the sun came out as Rinoa cradled Squall in her arms. Some think he died at end of disc one which is silly, and others think he died at the end and Rinoa 'imagines' him; but that makes no sense with the tone. We'd have seen a mourning scene, I think, and probably even a grave. Happy ending. YAY!

      "In late 2017, series developer Yoshinori Kitase was interviewed by Kotaku about several of the myths surrounding the series. Regarding Squall [death in disk 1], Kitase said "No, that is not true...I think he was actually stabbed around the shoulder area, so he was not dead. But that is a very interesting idea, so if we ever do make a remake of Final Fantasy VIII, I might go along with that story in mind."
      so not 100% silly.

    Now that you've beat the game, it's safe to say this spoiler: Laguna and Raine are very strongly hinted as Squall's parents throughout the game. It's beautiful that the unfulfilled romance of Laguna and Julia is fulfilled, with Squall and Rinoa.

      And Elone is Squalls step sister. That is why her Junction ability worked on him and Laguna. She could only use it on people she knew or had some familiarity to. I love the fact that Rinoa is the Daughter of Julie and that general. Julie and Laguna had quite the serious connection and were in love but laguna got captured and Julie moved on. Rinoa and Squalls relationship mirrors the one that Laguna could have had with Julie. I think its a powerful story. Its a shame that many people dont realize just how deep the emotions run in this game.

    Great playthrough....I really enjoyed it. You played it thoughtfully and in a very attentive and smart way . Happy you enjoyed it
    To explain the ending
    After Squall got lost in time he couldn't remember anything anymore
    Rinoa went to the place they promised to meet but he wasn't there ....So she sent a feather to him
    After seeing the feather he remembered her but he couldn't remember her face
    So he tried to picture events of his life with Rinoa so that he cant remember her face
    But since he still couldn't remember her face his brain thought she must have died in space and an so immage of her dying in space was produced in his brain
    From the shock of that he fainted....
    Some would say he died from the shock and that it was Rinoa revived him since she is a sorceress now..
    Anyway at the and they are together ❤
    So at the end the love story of Laguna and Julia was finally realized by their children ( Squall and Rinoa)
    All the other theories about Rinoa =Ultimacia or that Squall died in the end of disc 1 have been denied by the creators themself

    • @matthew__creek

    Congratulations on beating this epic. These characters will stay with you for a long time. Same with the musical score. So many beautiful arrangements. Square Enix has mentioned wanting to remake this game on several occasions. They said it won't happen any time soon but that it will most likely happen. Possibly during the PS6 generation which would look absolutely incredible.

    For me so far ff8 has the best love story because like Squall I'm cold on the outside I don't need anyone while on the inside I want someone to love me like Rinoa loves Squall that's how I am but like him I say that I don't need anyone when in fact I need someone to break my cocoon but even though I'm the romantic type I cry at sad scenes I really feel like Squall now and I didn't regret watching how you play and of course I found your channel but in character I am Squall while I am disguised as Rinoa❤

    First time watching you react to Raine and Laguna scenes and I was thinking "well, i didn't expect that reaction". Then i heard the reason, watch it again and I got teary eyes. I get the thinking of "I want to be happy for them but i know she died" and in just seconds the confirmation really hits.

  • @vizman8585
    @vizman8585 3 года назад +3

    Congrats on finishing the game. That angelo attack on form 4 ultimecia made me smile lol. and yeah, what rinoa did is pretty much how people in the comments explained it: she found him lost in the compressed time expanse and revived him with angel wing + brought them both physically back to their promised meeting place on the fields near Edea's house.
    I think it's interesting that Squall wasn't able to remember the promise right away. I think this is because of his unfamiliarity with the whole concept of a person existing in other people's minds and how that affirms that we exist outside of ourselves, because he was a loner and pointedly independent for most of his life. So he was the most likely out of the group to get lost in a time warp, being the one with the weakest "social muscles" lol
    Good luck with FF9!

  • @dschneider1
    @dschneider1 3 года назад +2

    A lot of people dislike this game for the magic and junction system, saying it's too exploitable... but I just thought it was super creative. I love how you can find a new use for some magic or items by junctioning it somewhere new, and how the GF abilities can really change your whole strategy and how you junction things. You have the flexibility to do whatever you want with your characters! I'm not a fan of the levelling thing like you said, but overall this is my absolute favorite Final Fantasy, and I'm glad you enjoyed it even if it's not your favorite.
    As for what was happening when Rinoa was all fuzzy, is Squall couldn't remember her. He was frantically searching his memory for her and couldn't remember her because he was lost in time. But Rinoa was able to find him! It's very abstract, but it's very beautiful. I think it's by far the most artistic Final Fantasy game, and I think that's what appeals to me. :)

    • @volourn9764
      @volourn9764 2 года назад

      The people who complain about it exploitable are usually people who have played it a dozen times (clearly they enjoy the game) or follow walkthroughs online or the guide that was released. Nobody who goes through this game the first time actually blind, get a perfect playthrough. Well, I shouldn't say nobody sicne that is an absolute. I am sure a handful of people kicked ass, and they can have their bragging rights. L0L

I know there are issues with the gameplay mechanics, but in terms of the story and the characters it's nigh on perfect. The character designs are fantastic and the music is gorgeous throughout. It's a fantastic game, even now, nearly 25 years later.
    Reactions like this just prove that they got the beats absolutely spot on with the ending because near enough everyone reacts in the same way; they laugh, they cry and they're satisfied. If only every game should be so lucky to get it so right!

Like Rinoa telling Squall in the Ragnarok that she wished time would stop to be with him forever because she fears the future, that's exactly what Ultimecia wanted to do, Time Compression... Her summoning Griever, Squall's ring Lion thingy, and so on... Maybe she's Rinoa from a timeline where she lost Squall (her "knight") and as so became evil xP

    Congratulations ! For someone going against it totally blind, you did really well against those Final Bosses.
    Now that you have made it, here is a tip for the next time you get to play it :
    Whenever there is a character turn, but you want it to play after another one, use the Menu button , you can then zap to the next character ready to perform an action, and then go back to the original one.
    If ever you're low on HP and want to use a limit break, then Menu again is your friend, if you don't get the option for the limit, do Menu button even and especially if there is no other character turn waiting, to get an other chance to have it whithout having to "sacrifice" a turn with a simple attack.
