whats yours and why
squall here becouse he looks like my bro

im new to this so if i mess up be kind

Uhh...

Squall. Because the greatest Final Fantasy quote comes from him.

"..."

also: welcome to ffshrine

thanks :)

squall! who else?

greatest charactor in all of ff! cold, lonely, antisocial, reminds me of me when i was younger. i have natural hair kinda like his and the gunblade is the invention of the century... when i get mine off of ebay... plus i love the sleeping lionheart necklace!! the SeeD uniform owns as well

yeah its gotta be squall for me too. the original emo kid, lol.

love his "dont give a f**k" attitude. gunblade is awesome too.

always hated how everyone like automatically makes him the leader of every situation, and i hated when galbadia garden ivades balamb garden and everyone calls him cold for not running off to save rinoa from falling off the cliff. i mean hes trying to save hundreds of lives and they are just annoying the shite out of him...

I love Laguna.
His story, and his life is just fictional i know but i still love his life.
He met a woman(Julia) that he was destined to love and then never went back for her, he met another and loved her and had a son. The first woman of his heart married a general and had a daughter and then Julia's daughter and Laguna's son meet and fall in love...

OMG, i love that story line, it's just a side story but i love it!
It's so romantic

i wholeheartedly agree! i loved this story as well. laguna must be second favourite character for me. hes so funny and reminds me of me with girls lol

squall here becouse he looks like my bro

dang, that must be wicked having a brother that looks like Squall...

lol, anyways.... :P

Squall for me as well. why? cuz his scar, his gunblade, and best of all "whatever". :P

my bro dosn't ahve the scar like squall nor do they where the same clothes in anyway but whne i got the game there where aboot the same age and same hair

~~sain~~

lol, Squall's hair is pretty tricky in itself... :P

I would have to say Rinoa. (obviously) Just because when I was younger I thought I looked like her.

And I love her attitude, her personality, and the fact of the whole "Help me, Squall!" thing. Even though that kind of got annoying at one point.

awesome if i say someone when i like to be another one
that's all...

Its sorta bland but I liked Zidane. Its not everyday you meet a guy with a monkey tail who is also a theif. What I didn't get was why he was the only member of him race that had a soul and could communicate intelligently. Stupid plot holes!

ff8 your favourite character

whats yours and why
squall here becouse he looks like my bro

Your brother must be pretty cool

Most of the characters are blatantly insignificant, but Laguna, at least, have some kind of story to him. Laguna and Julia.

Just look at my avatar and sig. And whoever said Squall being the original emo I totally agree, lol. He's the one who started it all.

Hmmmm.........

I pick Raijin. Fujin has him so whipped XD

Mr Irvine Kinneas makes my world go round.

Seifer, in a dog eat dog world move up the food chain anyway possible.

Fujin...Love a gal with a bit of mystery.

Kiros! He frankly rocks! Actuallym maybe Fujin...Nah, Kiros. He has the two katars and he waves them around in some cool fashion...schwing! Slash! Take that! Ha! Eat lead as..Anyway, I think Kiros is the coolest.

Ward cuz he's kinda like me. We're both built big with a little pudge around the middle (he has more than me though) but strong as an ox. He's a friendly guy, but will most likely kick your arse if you piss him off, also like me.

Plus, his Limit Break is hilarious. Seeing a big guy like that jump through the air...

I messed up and have no idea how to delete my own post...

Only mods/admins can delete posts.

yeah its gotta be squall for me too. the original emo kid, lol.

love his "dont give a f**k" attitude. gunblade is awesome too.

always hated how everyone like automatically makes him the leader of every situation, and i hated when galbadia garden ivades balamb garden and everyone calls him cold for not running off to save rinoa from falling off the cliff. i mean hes trying to save hundreds of lives and they are just annoying the shite out of him...

I compleatly agree with you.

Squally... Squally forever.... I love him.
Next would be Laguna or Quistis. Damn I love them all.

Squally... Squally forever.... I love him.

And I'm sure he loves you back, Fainaru. Just say the word and he'll leave that skank Rinoa in no time.

Squall....the gunblade is awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Rinoa Heartilly is my all time favorite Final Fantasy VIII character. I really love her bright personality and her postive perspectives on life. It's healthier to be that way; and that is a scientific fact.

The other characters I like are Squall, Irvine, Quistis, Sephie, Laguna, and Ellone.

It's a toss-up between Seifer and Edea, and I think they're both somewhat attractive for videogame characters :D

Squall for me.
Other I liked are Rinoa, Laguna, Quistis and Irvine.

Seifer and Irvine.

I like Squall and Laguna.
Sometimes Seifer is my favourite but the first two guys are only top :P

Seifer and Irvine.

Irvine > Seifer imo ^__~.

Rinoa, hands down...

She's always been my favorite Final Fantasy girl.

definately squall & laguna, but i like rinoa a lot, too

Irvine > Seifer imo ^__~.

Well that's because you're a girl, and Irvine... Well, he's a ladies man. ^^

i think Irvine is
also does anyone wonder why nearly all the main characters have spiky or wacky hairstyle

also does anyone wonder why nearly all the main characters have spiky or wacky hairstyle

errmmm, Its a Final Fantasy....

The world would be a more fun place if everybody had hairstyles like FF characters. Sure would take a lot of work to maintain, though.

haha, i know. VO-5 and the likes would rule the world,,well not rule the world, But they would be the richest company's..Agent, you have actually got me imagining it..wow,,(id have a Zidane,,or maybe a Zell.)

Ultimecia haircut all the way, only requires 5 bottles of styling gel! :D

I'd go for the Sora 'do, I consider him honorary Final Fantasy.

its time for a fanservice 8 film i say....nobody would have to do squall-o san's voice cause he wouldn't say a word in the whole movie

The world would be a more fun place if everybody had hairstyles like FF characters. Sure would take a lot of work to maintain, though.

I'm just glad people realise that!

Definitaly!! but im indian so i dont think it would suit me

The world would be a more fun place if everybody had hairstyles like FF characters. Sure would take a lot of work to maintain, though.

I have my hairstyle like Tifas 24-7 =D. Yes that would be awsome ;). Not all characters would necessarily be that hard to maintain, but definetly Seymour/FFX, Cloud/All FFVIIs, Sephiroth/FFVII, Zells, and Edeas for sure.

Rude (FFVII) has the best hair, me thinks.

Cid, because he looked like Robert Williams.

Cid, because he looked like Robert Williams.


no he doesn't

I think he meant "Robin Williams," which has been said more than once here before.

Yea, Robin Williams and he so does.

Yea, Robin Williams and he so does.

Lol I agree. I always thought Cid looked like Robin Williams since the day I started playing FFVIII ;).

Mine is selphie ~ since she seems less...dramatic I guess than rinoa, maybe not dramatic but just more cool o.O; lol..and she seems nice and funny which is the kind of person I like^^

After I started seeing the whole "Robin Williams" thing on here I had to check the thread title to be sure it was VIII we were talking about and not VII.

Definately Seifer....

After the Dollet mission who couldn't love him?

Is Seifer a ginger?


I thought that when I first played the game.

I think he meant "Robin Williams," which has been said more than once here before.

that's wat i thought

Squall. I guess because I can sort of relate to him. I like all the characters though. Even the somewhat annoying Rinoa <3

Even the somewhat annoying Rinoa <3

i thought selphie was more annoying than rinoa, but that's just me. i do like both though.

Quistis.

She was mature and reserved, yet emotional and not entirely unfeeling. Plus, she's gorgeous, and she can either look angelic or totally pissed off, depending on whether she's wearing glasses or not.

It depends on what qualities you like or dislike. Selphie is spunky and has a good sense of fun about her, but falls a bit too easily for Irvine and can be a bit too playful at times. Rinoa draws Squall out of his shell, is a more serious character, etc., but can be clingy/whiny, is oftentimes sucky in battle, and has several other issues.

Yeah, but if you really know how to use the junction system, the "sucky in battle" problem isn't exactly significant.

My favorite character was probably Dr. Odine.

Well, as most people have already stated, Squall is my favorite character. I identify with him well.

i don't really identify with him, but i love his I don't care what you think attitude, and i think he's hot (yes, i am a girl!)

i like laguna because he's a writer, and i think he's a fun, upbeat (but not too upbeat) kind of person.

That's another reason many people don't like Rinoa -- they feel she turned Squall into somebody they don't like.

i believe rinoa brought out the side of squall that we couldn't see until late in the game, but i honestly don't believe she changed him.

squall is just a cold-hearted bastard and Rinoa is a witch who made him drink a love potion

i believe rinoa brought out the side of squall that we couldn't see until late in the game, but i honestly don't believe she changed him.
Some people didn't like that about the story of FFVIII. They said it's 'unoriginal'. Do they realize that this does happen in the real world? Take me for example, I never used to talk to anyone. Period. I was always alone and I liked it that way. Then I met someone and slowly, I started to open up.

I've known her for 4 years now.

ahhhh... how sweet :-D

His limit breaks are awesome such as Lionheart which I used to kill Ultima weapon in one shot!

Id have to say Squall then Zell

Zells the kind a buddy everyone needs on a long journey.

Agreed with Zell. I'm sure most of us have that kind of comic-relief buddy.

yeah zell is great, whats the name of that witch that straped Rinoa to her chest?

Azel... no, wait, that was Laguna's name for her.

Adel

thanks even though she is not my favorite boss i thought the whole battle was pretty cool, if only seifer didnt like manly witches, but squall and seifer were basically the same if not for rinoa the would have died that way.
thanks again

i didnt get that ending in the desert either.

Oh, Laguna was pretty awesome, screwing up everyone's name. I do think it's really funny that Laguna became president of Esthar.

Definitely Laguna... and his crew. ;)

Perhaps Azel was his/her real name seeing as s/he looked more like a male rather than a female.

Maybe everyone else messed up saying Azel's real name by calling s/he 'Adel'.

My favourite character has to be Laguna definitely.

The guy had a more lively and cheerful personality even though he was somewhat clumsy and a bit stupid, but that's what makes him so much better than Squall and his mindless clone party.

(Robin Williams...?) khm, yes,yes, Laguna is the choice, although Squall was my favorite when I was younger, and that's because... (he kinda does look like...) khm, oh well, definitley Laguna-sama, you all stated the reasons thus far. (... Yeah, Cid really does...) khm, bye-nee.

I like Seifer's ass :D

I like Seifer's ass :D


x2

Oh, Laguna was pretty awesome, screwing up everyone's name. I do think it's really funny that Laguna became president of Esthar.

The ppl probably got to vote for their president the same way you vote on American Idol. You call in, but unfortunately, there isn't a limit on how many times one person can call. :)

Laguna's my favorite. I have the name thing in common with him. I still can't get my brother's name right. I call him by my best friend's dog's name or some other name that's way out there. I can sympathize with Laguna. I really can.

Laguna is my fav.

Squall and Zell rulzzz ! 4 ever :)

Rinoa, i almost fell in love with her while playing the game.

Laguna for his quirkyness and Squall for his clothes. I think it's the clothes that pretty much made Squall. Picture playing as him dressed in pink spandex or something.. doesn't work for my eyes if you ask me.. but then, I can see Laguna doing something stupid like that.

Squall and Laguna

my fav was squall aswell i luuuuuv him

Fav overall char: Griever (the lion on Squall's pendant / ring, yes I am aware he is mentioned like twice and only ever seen once... but still!)
Fav main char: Squall
Fav secondary char: Biggs and Wedge (lol they were so funny in this game!)

my fav characters are between Squall and Seifer.
Squall because i relate to him in that i am quiet and keep closed about my emotions
Seifer because he is just badass i mean that coat is awesome, i so want one in black

The only character in VIII who didn't constantly grate on my nerves was Quistis. So I suppose she's my favorite.

Quistis was alright I guess, her Blue Magic came in handy, especially Degenerator and Matra Magic but apart from that I found her kind of useless...

Laguna, Irvine and Rinoa. Sometimes Selphie said something funny.

Rinoa is the best character, because she is very upbeat and not afraid to kick your ass to get what she really wants. And she is strong enough to manipulate Squall (to a point); Quistis could only get a few words out of him at a time, but Rinoa got a whole make out session. (;

Rinoa is too... not quite vapid... dippy, maybe? and immature for my tastes. Squall, while not dippy and immature, is still no better than her. They were made for each other. I'm glad Quistis freed herself from her feelings for Squall. She could do much, much better.

Maybe she should hook up with Laguna. Now that would be interestingly creepy...

I could really relate to Squall when I was in my teens: the internalized emotion, fear of expression, etc. Older, I'll pick the other side of the coin, Laguna. A guy who's loved and lost, but can still face himself in the morning.

I also liked Gilgamesh for his introduction. What a way to get a new summons.

Irvine. That speech he gives about following the only path in his life always captures my heart. Plus, he makes red hair look good.

Squall, "..."

and selphie because of her randomness and some classic lines

"I dreamt I was a moron"

Squall. Need I say more?

female: selphie.
she has CUTE labeled all over her body.

male:
seifer

I must say, no character in the main cast stuck out that well. The back story with Laguna was cool though, so I guess I'll pick him as my favorite.

Zack. He's cool and fights with his fists. Did I get his name right? I'm confused at times when it comes to names.

You must mean Zell Dincht.

And must have been getting him confused with FFVII's Zack, which is the only "Zack" I know of in the FF series.

Zell... that's it. That's the guy. Thanks for correcting me.

(Hey, I could have been further off and said Zidane.)

Wouldn't have made a difference, as Zidane was a better character than Zack anyway lol

mines raijin ya know

Zell BABY !!! WHOOOOO!! why? cuz he's like a energetic puppy

Squall is just plain bad ass...enough said

SELPHIE wins my vote ;)

i would have to say that laguna is my favorite character.
his story is sad and i love how he met his wife and how he proposed to her! XD

anyhow, he's cute and so is laguna and his wife is also very pretty

My favourites are Laguna and Rinoa.

Laguna because he's cute and swings through the air using Desperado.

And Rinoa, just for when she pretends she's a SeeD at Galbadia Garden and tries to follow the rest of the guys' leads. XD

Difficult to decide really...Of course I like Squall, but I think Irvine was mine.

mine would have to be squall but zell is a very close second

I haven't played it in a long time but I recall loving all of the characters except Irvine and Seifer... I bet if I played it again I might like them... Irvine, at least.

I think my favorite was probably Quistis... She was awesome. :) I don't really remember why though... damn! I need to play this game again!

For FFVIII I love Squall and Quistis. Some people think that it's sad that Quistis didn't get a love interest at the end, but I think she's got plenty of time to get one...

Ohh gee... My favorite character from FF8 is by far Laguna. His character is so much like my own and he's so dern adorable! When I first started playing this game when I was eleven, my favorite character was Quistis for a very long time. But now I've made my mind. hahaha

My favourite characters from FFVIII would have to be Laguna and Zell, though I do think Quistis was pretty cool, but I wouldn't count her as one of my favourites.

Squall no doubt, and i also love the 3 main girls Rinoa, Quistis and Selphie

You must mean Zell Dincht. :)

I'm not sure who my favourite character is, but if i were ever to join an ff forum i would use his/her name for sure

squall....because i think i'm just a lil bit like him

My favorite characters are Laguna and Rinoa.

laguna and squall.. if only they really ever in one team I presume many funny thing could happen :D

Laguna Loire. Hands down.

Laguna, just because he's plain adorable.

Quistis, she was very mature and cool, but the tiny things without importance are what get under her skin... And I can relate to that.

Squall, gotta love his inner thoughts throughout the game. I found him to be one of the most interesting and unique hero in a video game. Irvine comes in second for his loner speech on the train.

Selphie...shes really cool.Oh yeah and Edea, if i could only have her forever.

Squall, gotta love his inner thoughts throughout the game. I found him to be one of the most interesting and unique hero in a video game. Irvine comes in second for his loner speech on the train.

I just spat water all over my wall when I read this, followed by a coughing fit and ending in an uproar of laughter.

Right, I suppose Squall was a bit more interesting for me than most people, I agree/follow some of the ideals and philosophies that he expressed.

I just spat water all over my wall when I read this, followed by a coughing fit and ending in an uproar of laughter.

I must savour such priceless quotes such as this. I cracked up when i read this.

Zell, just because of the scene with the hot dogs at the end...

Not really.

Squall, for the best coversation of all time:
"Zell just wants your support!"
"(I figured it was going to be something like that..)"
"Don't you understand?!"
"(...Whatever..)"
"Are you Listening?!"
"..." -thud-

That actually was a funny conversation lol

Squall Leonheart because he's the main character of the game.He's cool and he wields a gunblade.

Squall Leonheart because he's the main character of the game.He's cool and he wields a gunblade.
That's a pretty detailed post of why he's your favorite.

Very nice.

Thanks,bro

I didn't know he had a gunblade =O!


>.>

<.<

...
XD Very, very detailed, my friend.

squall! who else?

greatest charactor in all of ff! cold, lonely, antisocial, reminds me of me when i was younger. i have natural hair kinda like his and the gunblade is the invention of the century... when i get mine off of ebay... plus i love the sleeping lionheart necklace!! the SeeD uniform owns as well

I agree with you, Squall reminds me of myself alot. I currently own the gunblade and the the necklace and I'll eventually get his SeeD uniform and his main outfit probably from ebay.

Boco.

Piet, i think he should get some credit.

Piet, i think he should get some credit.

oooh yaaaah, all them failed plans, all them successful plans.

This is one of the rare RPGs where I actually do like the main character. However, Seifer takes the cake.

He's a villain but he's not evil. His purpose is just to be a rival and I love that.

Squall......is hot! xD

Everything about him, I love!

Best characters for me, are Seifer and Quistis

zell's parents.

Don't revive Dead Threads daggx. Check the date of the last post, BEFORE posting a reply. This thread has been dead for three years (as seen in the date for illlaymedown's last post of 12-28-2009, 04:31 AM.

I liked Quistis. Something about a teacher with a whip was my cup of tea

Squall:For me, he was weird, because he was introverted, and kept to himself.I think i find similarities i have with him, so i relate better.
Zell is a comical character, and selphie is what vanille became:An innocent girl who acts childish.Thats not to say you need to be serious all the time, but whatever.I liked quistis, cause i see her as the teacher type, even though she is too young, and i liked man with a machine gun a lot.

Squall, at first i don't like it but after he meet rinoa he change

"Just promise us not to make threads about how Squall looks like Gackt." i really like this words (note: i lol ed in here, hard to stop it)

Gonna have to say Selphie. Cute, sexy and had the best personality. The character that seemed most "human" imo.

I love Laguna.
His story, and his life is just fictional i know but i still love his life.
He met a woman(Julia) that he was destined to love and then never went back for her, he met another and loved her and had a son. The first woman of his heart married a general and had a daughter and then Julia's daughter and Laguna's son meet and fall in love...

OMG, i love that story line, it's just a side story but i love it!
It's so romantic

Same here. I like Squall because am similar to him. But I do like Laguna side story. Actually, I like it when they gave us the personal life of laguna. It gives me the complete feeling by knowing more of squall. who his parents were, and how things happened and how it linked to current life of squall. Strong background story.
