The Squall/Irvine one was supposed to be Selphie/Irvine at first but I couldn't find anything that fit (like nothing with the both of them in the same picture wth) so Squirvy it is lmao

This happens if you send Rinoa with Selphie's team to the Galbadia Missile Base and, more specifically, she's in the third party member slot.

This is such a heart-wrenching scene. Seeing Rinoa think that Squall sent her to the Galbadia Missile Base because he hated her, right when she's starting to like him, is downright gut-wrenching.

But, that's precisely what makes Squall's relief (later on in Fisherman's Horizon) all the more heartwarming.

Especially since two of the three dialogue options he has with Rinoa afterwards make it clear that he does, in fact, care about her, long before their romance is in full bloom in Discs 3-4.

Here's the first dialogue option. He's oblivious to her feelings — which, if you think about it, is actually a stark contrast to how he's fully aware of how she feels about him (and how he's fully aware that everyone in the main party ships them together) outside of Galbadia Garden after he rescued her a second time.

Here's the second dialogue option. He's more straightforward, although he clearly hasn't come to terms with his own feelings yet. It does match with how worried he was about sending Selphie and her team to the Galbadia Missile Base, wondering if they were all right and if he was wrong to let them go, and wondering how her team felt about his party member choices. Personally, I think it's the best of the three options, in terms of progressing their relationship:

And, finally, here's the third dialogue option. He's not as straightforward here, compared to the second dialogue option, but notably, he stammers during his confession and even scratches his head. It's actually really adorable. He's acting like a nervous teenager talking to his crush — which is precisely what's happening here. It's also a good option in terms of progressing their relationship, and probably the more realistic one.

I swear, these two can be such dorks around each other in Disc 2, if the player chooses to let their relationship develop.

P.S. — I know that the pictures are from two different videos. Not a lot of walkthroughs on YouTube have Rinoa go with Selphie's team to the Galbadia Missile Base; most of them have her go with Squall's team to Balamb Garden.

Here are the two videos where I took these screenshots.

Exhibit A: Leon’s design in KH includes red wings on the back of his jacket that look like the wings on the back of Rinoa’s duster

Exhibit B: this excerpt from Leon’s official wiki page:

Exhibit C: this interview with Nomura after KH1:

Exhibit D: this scene in KH2, in which Leon receives a letter with a familiar symbol:

Conclusion: I don’t know, but I sure am concerned—it’s been 20 years I need CLOSURE, Nomura

“Glycerine”

Squall and Rinoa from Final Fantasy 8. Just a quiet moment between the emo Commander and his sorceress wifey. I love them so damn much 🖤

Title is from the song “Glycerine” by Bush.

After 31 days, this cross stitch is finally finished :) This is for a gift, and luckily FF8 is both our favorites! Pattern from NeedleMinderLair on Etsy.

I did this Mini-comic a couple of years ago.

When Kingdom Hearts was released, my childhood self wondered "Where did Squall get that jacket?"

A lot of ideas ran through my mind. This is one of them.

Hope you like it ;)
