I want to know more!

What do you want to know more about in regards to FFVIII? Just write about it here, and maybe someone can give you some input!

I for one have heard a lot of Laguna fans say that it would be so fun to have a "prequel" involving Laguna's adventures as a soldier. Well, I think it would be fun too...I think that the pre-game events are too far overlooked; there's actually a lot going on in FFVIII!

One thing that I want to know more and more about is Lunatic Pandora.
Well...there are a lot of things in the game that I wished there were more of...for instance...more of sorceress Adel (which maybe could have been sequenced in with the Laguna dream state).

I want to know more about the "Cetra", the race that was wiped out by the previous Lunar Cry!

I want to know more about what happened AFTER the final FMV. What happened with Rinoa's powers, who took over things in Galbadia, What happened when ultimecia was born? they may have stopped her in the future, but that does not prevent her from being born or growing up in a world that knows her name and hates her. What happened after?

I kinda thought the Laguna scene WAS the prequel to FFVIII, telling the back story for Squall and the rest?

I'm interested in knowing more about Adel as well; Rinoa said that she saw the "young Adel" after you defeat her at the beginning of Disc 4, and that could probably tie in with Lunatic Pandora if it could be known.

I'm a little curious about knowing more on Laguna and Raine; the two obviously got married at some point and Raine gave birth to Squall at some point when Laguna wasn't there, but I always wondered when Laguna found out when he had a son and how and why Raine died.

Maybe a little more on when Seifer, Squall, Quistis, Zell, Irvine and Selphie were at the orphan edge. Particularly on the time when Seifer and Squall got into Balamb (I think it's implied they were the first ones enrolled compared to the other four).

Well actually...in regards to Laguna and Raine...Laguna and Raine never got married...it wasn't until the end of the game, when everyone had the chance to go to whichever time they wanted...Laguna chose to go back in time and see Raine, at which point he asked her to marry him.
OR they did get secretly married, and they just chose to show the scene at the end of the game...which makes not a lot of sense...
So if there were a prequel, Raine still would have died, and Laguna wouldn't have been there for her.

I reallllly want to know more about Lunatic Pandora. All we know (that the game tells us) is that the Cetra found it and erected it at Tears Point, not knowing that it would cause the Lunar Cry; which would in turn wipe out the entire race...
I want to know where on earth Lunatic Pandora came from. O_o
I'm assuming it's some...outer space virus thing like Jenova was.

I always assumed that particular scene was just a flashback between Laguna and Raine, and you see Laguna in his middle age looking at Raine's gravestone with his name on it

I'm 99% sure they never say where it comes from in the game, only that the Cetra discovered in somewhere on a continent other than Esthar. My best guess would probably be the Trabia Continent, because there's nothing really there and it looks like a place where a Crystal Pillar would be erected.

I really liked its purpose though; to connect the Moon and the Planet and make it as one. The fact that it's named 'Pandora' and releases a whole bunch of monsters like Pandora's Box made me think about my meaning in life, too. xD

It's an unsolved mystery.

From Wiki:

Quote:

The Great Hyne is a character mentioned in Final Fantasy VIII. According to legend, Hyne is the creator of mankind, and the first sorceress ever to exist. Upon creating the first humans, Hyne went into a deep sleep. When he awoke, he was surprised to find so many humans, so he decided to kill all of their children. The humans, however, resisted, and a huge battle between Hyne and the humans began. After many years of fighting, Hyne surrendered and gave half of his body to the humans, and that is where the tradition of Sorceresses and the passing down of their powers began. However, his other half escaped and ran away, still possessing the most powerful magic in existence, and there has been no sight of that half ever since.

Sounds like a cool guy.

I don't see why there shouldn't be a sequel or movie or something. It could be about Laguna like trying to find Squall *la la time passes* and then they meet up and Squall's all mad for leaving his mom and then they start fighting on a tower and Laguna says "Squall, i am your..." wait, this has been used before hasn't it?

But the first part sounds cool
