mfampait 49 Posted May 4, 2012 i just finished my playthrough of final fantasy 8 for my "all the numbered final fantasies before the end of the year" challenge, and in the ending i noticed that when squall seeing all that random stuff(which probably will give me nightmares tonight) it shows squall falling with his head tilted back in a massive light, i'm not 100% sure but to my recollection this looks like the part where squall gets stabbed by the crystal by Edea, I can't remember seeing anything about that on any of the articles and stuff but i just think that it really supports the whole "squall is dead" thing. Anyone else think this? just thought i'd share Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TerraRedeemed 255 Posted May 4, 2012 I think the "Squall is dead" theory is intriguing and is definitely more probable than anything but I prefer to think that the story has a proper happy ending and that everything wasn't just some sort of dream. But thats the thing about this game, they probably intended it to be open to interpretation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackho 8 Posted May 5, 2012 The ending is definitely the strongest evidence of the Squall is dead theory. The vast majority of the visions/flashbacks are of disc 1, specifically of the arch and the area around it, where he was impaled. Plus he kind of spontaneously dies afterwards.

Isaix 924 Posted May 7, 2012 What is this ''Squall is dead'' theory,I beat the game,but I don't get it.We defenitly saw him at the very end of the game with a big smile on his face,so why would he be dead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfampait 49 Posted May 7, 2012 it's a theory, not a giant smack in the face saying HE'S DEAD!!! it's just things like that edea stabbed him with that giant crystal and yet on the next disc he doesn't even have any wounds, and the way that his life just kinda completely does a U-turn after that point Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P50L 610 Posted May 7, 2012 If Squall ever saw this thread, he'd just rant out since he doesn't want anyone talking about him after his death. "Will they talk about me like that when I'm dead?" "NO! I WON'T HAVE IT! *Runs off*" "Squall...?" 1 XIIISwords reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"NO!

XIIISwords 1,059 Posted May 8, 2012 It's a video game. I'm pretty sure a Cure fixed him right up. Like... Sora falling from great heights and being fine. Noel getting impaled by Caius, but being fine. Any game where a character is stabbed but doesn't die. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hatok 6,413 Posted May 10, 2012 Oh. Nothing about XIV? What is this XIV? Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist.Doesn't. Exist. And it does an awesome job doing it! Still, cure lasers have nothing to do with cure being effective outside of combat. I will amend though; it's useful only during battle, and as plot demands.
