Who was Squall’s character based off of? From memory I think it was a Japanese singer. I know it was put in one of the forums some time ago, but I can;t be bothered looking for it.

I think he was based on the actor River Phoenix. I remember reading about it on a certain site. i’ll try looking for it again.

I actually found it. His name is Camui Gackt.

Yep, he was based on the J-pop gender-bending singer, Gackt. Check out the similiarities in this photo (). I heard that he’d worn a jacket similar to the one Squall wears, and was seen wearing it again after FF8’s release.

Here’s a quote from the website I took that picture from: Gackt claimed in a television program that Squall Leonhart of Squaresoft’s role-playing game Final Fantasy VIII was modeled after him, and referred to Squall as "Gackt #2."

I just downloaded some tracks. I’m more of a movie buyer than a CD buyer.

i see..is that singer a male or a female?? im kinda confused :/He’s a male, but a huge gender-bender! Kind of like Kuja in FF9 (whom I thought was a girl at first :-[).

I thought he was based of River Pheonix too. But I can see some resemblance to that Gackt guy. Even though he looks kind of girlish.

Yeah Squall looks more like Kamui than River

Well, when I saw a picture of Squall (before I knew who Gackt was), I thought he was very feminine. He looked a lot like this one female exchange student who’d gone to my school. Squall definitely isn’t the American picture of masculine, that’s for sure.

Yeah especially when he smiled during the final fmv. he looked so feminine… lol but i liked it :/

He kinda, kinda has similar face features to Vincent. He reminds me of…personally I think he’s hot.
