character in general: Anyone who complains about how FF8 is awful because of its âemo, teen angstâ from the lead character can fite me, dammit. Now, I agree, some of his wallowing in his thoughts is focused on so much that it seems a bit overdramatic, but if you make it to even the second disc after he dies, Squall starts to change his tune, and he evolves so much as a character from beginning to end.how they play them: I love this interpretation of Squall, and not just in interactions Iâve had with him! Still a bit reserved and yet warming up to Selphieâs near-constant pestering all the time, and still very much enjoyable to see on my dash. Heâs helped me develop a soft spot for Squall/Aerith, too~the mun: Havenât had much interaction lately, but still seems very kind and good to talk to when we have had the chance to do so!
