Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

I absolutely loved her! She was so beautiful and spunky. She was a General's daughter and ran a resistance group... Which is just amazing. I liked how she was long ranged to. I tend to lean for long ranged people. I fell in love with her when her father was going to lock her in her home and Quistis was mad at her. When they tried to talk to her and she was sitting on the floor. She raised her hand in response and shook it. It was such a human moment. Sometimes with the older installments it's hard to portray emotions and human actions. That did it for me.

I didn't really like Rinoa all that much. She was always being attacked or kidnapped. If Zell sneezed in her general direction, she would fall into a coma. She is a spoiled girl who wants it her way, or you can just go die. She's uses a dog as her limit break. But, her weapon is kinda cool.

I agree with backlash. She is a horrible character to pick for your party. She is always leaving, kidnapped and what not, so you dont have her in major fights that much. Also a bit too out going.

I agree she was oneof the best characters... Why does something happen to a girl in nearly every final fantasy? Aerith, Rinoa, Garnet... Can't think back to the others... Been playing the golden age recently...

Well, a lot RPG games think they have to have the cliche "damsel in distress" or it just wouldn't be the same. Truthfully, I love it. That's why you're always seeing things happen to those really delicate, beautiful ladies that are like the "love interest" or whatever.

As for Rinoa, I loved her character. I don't personally see anything wrong with her. Not only was she beautiful but I loved her personality a lot. She's really sweet, out-going and brought out a side in Squall we thought we'd never get to see. She's a beautiful, tender girl that doesn't deserve what happened to her at all. She is probably one of my favorite female characters now. She's neck and neck with Aerith, then there's Yuna and then Tifa. So yeah...I love Rinoa.

dthing is she has the highest base atack stat, so at level 100 without junctions she hits 95

so in a no junction game shes a powerhouse

oh and her angel wing limit is so underated

take all magic that hits an enemy (from scan to ultima) and leave 100 meteor

equip 100 meteor to magic

and give her a magic boosting junction

the magic you have left over is addequate for your defences

now lust let angel wing rip, doing 3000 per meteor hit

I really didn't mind her at all, I hardly noticed her whining and Instead of getting pissed off with consistently having to save her, I just saw her as the damsel in distress.

She was by no means my favorite character, but I certainly didn't dislike her.

That's just the thing, Rinoa didn't wine. If anything, being sorceress and all...she didn't want to get Squall involved, that's why in the 3rd disc she willingly left and went on. It was his choice to go and save her. It's the classic sorceress and her knight story (damsel in distress and the knight comes to her rescue). His job is protect her, so therefore if anything were to happen to her, of course he'd rescue her. Rinoa is also quick to speak her mind and how she feels, but that is only one of her flaws. I don't understand why people hate her so much either because quite honestly she's my favorite character.

I think the Sig and Avy speak for them self

But, I do agree with you, I wonder why people hate her too, she was hot, she was smart and she had awesome Limit Breaks What more can one ask from a girl?
