| 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. |

Actually, Rinoa was a good character and the key to most of the game. With out Rinoa the game wouldn't make any sense. Oh, and when people say, "Rinoa is too clingy," or, "Rinoa is spoiled," IT IS JUST A GAME! It isn't like she is real or anything.

I don't absolutely loathe Rinoa, I just think she made a horrible leading female roll. She's a very big attention whore. First things first, she forms a resistance group against her own father just to tick him off. She's always arguing with general Caraway and making matters worse. She never pays attention to what he says, nor does she heed his words.
The fact that I spent half of the game going on missions to rescue Rinoa from peril completely turned me off from the entire plot. She had a very outgoing personality but she was too f-ing stupid to go through with her own ideas. Instead of fighting for a cause, she always wound up in trouble and slowed the entire group down.

Indeed. I agree 100%.
Also, I must add, that she is so desperate and how she showed her feelings were so child like. How she wanted his ring, and how at first she wanted Seifer then went after Squall.
Such a confused girl.

well since squall did everything but ignore her completely in the beginning, do you really think shes gonna throw herself at him? of course she would be secretive about liking squall and getting his ring and all that, she liked him but after the way he always treated her, she didnt know how he was gonna react. and im sure the last thing she wanted to do was piss him off more. she was just doing little things to get a response out of him, to kinda let her know how he felt and if she should even try to go after him or not.
dont you love how im a video game character psychiatrist?

Hrmm...still, Rinoa's way of approaching Squall was so damn annoying! It was like "Weeee, I'm Rinoa! Let's be friends! k!?" *5 minutes later* "Omg! I so like you, lets go out!!"
Sheesh. She seems like a kid. Rinoa needs to get herself together.

Rinoa is one of two characters in FFVIII - along with Edea - that i don't totally despise. She had a different backstory, she had a friendly upbeat personality, she was kind, her outift was stolen for AC Tifa 
I liked her as a character, and i like the Rinoa=Ultimecia theory, and i choose to believe it because it adds a lot of depth to Rinoa and i <3 that

You don't even like FFVIII, get out. xD.
I can understand being happy and positive, but I think she took that to an extreme.
Rikku was happy and positive but knew when to tone it down.

about the whole changing her mind thing. think about it, if someone was an asshole to you and seemed like an uptight emo prick when you first met them, would you ever think about liking them? i sure wouldnt, but thats the way that squall was when he met rinoa. he just wanted to be alone, and not depend on anyone else. as squall started to open up, rinoa embraced that and opened up to him. i just think that rinoa brought out the best in squall, and that squall brought out the best in everyone else. aka rinoa=key to happiness in the orphanage clique
