Quistis, actually did have a messed up background. During an interview with Nomura, he said that she had several abusive foster fathers, before finally going to Garden. The translations of the interview said she was sexually abused, which, is a topic that obviously didn't make it to the American version.
Quistis is known for being depressed over trivial matters, which, I thought was really odd, given the fact that whenever she seems slightly down, it's for good reason. I'd be pretty upset if I got fired from my job, told I was a failure, and then told to talk to a wall when I tried to confide in someone. I never understood how they figured that to be 'trivial.' Even so, the next day she was up and about and chasing Seifer to Timber.
You're right on the emotional relations with characters, but the problem was, coming after Cloud, there's some big hero shoes to fill. If Squall had come first, I wouldn't have thought of him as such a disappointment, but really...all I saw was a brown-haired, watered-down version, realistic or not.
My favorite series-heroes were Zidane and Locke, so, you can see the kind of hero figures I prefer. Because, Squall was forced into it. That's what makes him different from most of the others. He was 'reluctant,' and because of that, I just didn't care for him.

Please put some effort into your posts. So far they are way too brief and can be seen as spam.

I enjoyed playing as him because I liked to see how the developers could twist his character based on such a lone wolf personality they'd given him in the beginning.
That being said, I also liked his scar and hair...

Though Cloud was a great Hero, Squall would still have to be one of my favorites.
Throughout the story he was a loner, and wanted no one to rely on him, he was forced into the hero position by Garden and the people he met along his journey, such as Zell and Qistist.
But even so, his character developed a lot throughout the game, which made me get close to him, and relate.
Squall was a bad tempered, loner, which I loved, and the strong bond between his friends made made me love him even more.

I really liked him I loved his whole development throughout the game. I didn't really mind his emoness either, I just thought he was quiet and thought alot reall. I don't like the main characters to be to hyper it gets annoying *looking at you Tidus*

I really liked Squall, he was an interesting character. I never really noticed him being 'emo' He was a pretty cool character with his phrase 'whatever...' He was pretty mellow and i like that in my main characters, but that being said, i still loved Tidus
