“Squall don’t! I’m a sorceress!”

“I don’t care.”

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.

Rinoa tries to help Squall with his negative self talk:

She grabs Squall's hand. She turns it towards him, holds out his pointer finger, and waves it in a circle.

"You-are-going-to-like-you, you-are-going-to-like-you, you-are-going-to-like-you!"

#did it work?#truthfully my Rinoa just tried this on me #very cute but my self confidence issues need to be taken down with more powerful magic #like ultima or something #squinoa #squall and rinoa #squall x rinoa

[FFVIII] Pieces

She doesn’t need to say it, and yet she wants it out in the open, she wants to shed her skin as he did back then, make herself vulnerable so he knows that she loves him, so deeply, so thoroughly, so unconditionally, and so he knows how grateful she is, how humbled, and how honored, because he is the true force holding her scattered, badly-glued pieces together. In this safe haven, she can be herself, shortcomings, mistakes, and all.

Characters: Rinoa Heartilly, Squall Leonhart Warning: mention of stillbirth

SeeD was formed to fight the sorceress, at least, that's what I heard. And Garden was created to train SeeDs. So this battle is Garden's destiny and also our destiny. It's a grueling battle, and I'm sure you guys are all exhausted. But I don't want to have any regrets. I don't want anyone to look back and regret this day. So just this once, I want you guys to give everything you've got! For yourselves, and for me!

FINAL FANTASY VIII (1999)

“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.

(Warning for the strong language)

So, are we just gonna ignore three major things that Squall Leonhart — a 17-year-old kid who's both emotionally-stunted and socially-inept — did for the girl he loves?

1) He walked across an entire fucking ocean, while carrying the comatose Rinoa piggyback-style, to find a country that's been hidden for almost 20 years, to find his older sister who may or may not even be there, on the off-chance that, with Ellone's and Esthar's help, Rinoa may finally wake up from her coma.

2) He left his escape pod and jumped out into fucking space to save Rinoa from dying while she's running out of oxygen, despite not even knowing if he can really save her and not even knowing if they'll be able to return to said escape pod. (Granted, as a Sorceress, Rinoa probably could've still survived... but, since she wouldn't be able to transfer her powers to another woman to succeed her, Rinoa would never be able to die, and since Squall definitely would've died due to not having any supernatural powers, Rinoa would've watched him die and she'd be all alone in space. That's even worse.)

3) After getting called out by Quistis and Zell over his decision to let Rinoa be cryogenically frozen so that her Sorceress powers are sealed and Ultimecia won't possess her again (considering that Rinoa would be sealed up for who knows how long, she basically agreed to be killed. Please remember that this girl is only 17) and being reminded that, after everything he'd done to bring her out of her coma (see #1 and #2 above), he's running the risk of never seeing her again, he goes to the Sorceress Memorial to free her. How does he do that? By fucking slashing the cryocapsule in half and catching her in his arms.

Bear in mind that he did all of the above before he chose, of his own volition, of his own free will, to become her Sorceress Knight.

Squall never does shit half-assed, especially when it comes to Rinoa. For her, he'll go above and beyond, and he'll do it because he wants to — even if it makes him an enemy to the rest of the world, or, worse, it'll get him killed.

Never doubt, for a second, just how deeply in love Squall is with Rinoa, to have done all of that for her when they're both just 17.

P.S. — Special shout-out to @squinoas , @waltzforthemoon , and @doortotomorrow for your amazing GIFs!

started ff8 a few weeks ago, its pretty fun

#ff8 #squall leonhart #rinoa heartilly #final fantasy viii #scribbles #its interesting to get more of an inner monologue this game! in 7 you were quite intentionally kept out of clouds head #whereas i enjoy in this one the pages of squall saying how much he hates something internally only to just b like 'its fine' out loud #its kinda funny. its mainly sad but sometimes its funy
