Topic	Final Fantasy VIII was a bit of a mess huh? spoilers

The fact that they all grew up together is the only reason they don't dissolve or get scattered through time during time compression. And that bond is the reason Squall is able to manifest there and pass on information from the future after Ultimecia's defeat, which is why they're all trained as elite sorceress killers without knowing it, which is why they're able to even survive long enough to reach her. Everything follows. I think people have an automatic reaction to silly JRPG contrivances like the orphanage, but FFVIII is one of the few examples that bothers to explain it. Nah, the game was written with a few loose ideas and cinematic moments in mind. The writers then just kinda filled in the blanks to the best of their abilities and FF VIII is what we got --- "Oh, my mother; oh, my friends, ask the angels, will I ever see heaven again?" - Laura Marling <cite>MutantJohn posted [p:957861994] in Final Fant...
