Rinoa - Page 8

That's what I like about Rinoa. She's realistic in a sense that she's your typical average teenage girl who goes through different kinds of mood swings. She can be sweet, naive, annoying, strong, weak, etc. So yes, definitely had potential for character growth. I still liked her though, right off the bat and throughout the whole game, despite my annoyance that she was always this damsel in distress.

I really liked Rinoa. I thought some bits were abit daft like being called ''princess'' but other than that, I thought she was great.

I personally loved rescuing her all the time - it was sweet. Some people just get into scrapes all the time, like me lol, however its my best mate that rescues me not some hunk.....
Anyways, I think she was just meant to be the complete opposite to Squall & I think that worked fabulously....so she had temper tantrums....who didn't over react at 16 & clash with thier parents? Or was that just me....?

I didn't like her. I didn't hate her. Like someone said she was an attention whore ( I fucking hate attention whores). She actually reminds me of my mother when she was younger since she looks japanese and her personality. Well me and my mother never got along which is funny because I have a similar personality and traits to Squall.

She was a little spunky and had a killer look.
What I dig about her is that she has substance, she's not some ditzy dumb girl chasing after a pretty boy.
Love Rinoa.

Really? Because the entire game seems to contradict what you said. I can sum up Rinoa in two words:

"HALP SQUALL!"

Mod Edit: Put more effort into your post.

Rinoa is not a ditsy, dumb girl chasing after a pretty boy? Uhh what you described there was the total opposite of Rinoa.

She always chased Squall, and harassed him. Squall wasn't the one who went up to her at the dance forced to her dance. On Disk 2 when she was at Balamb Garden she was demanding Squall to show her around Balamb. Squall didn't want to, but Rinoa forced him. Not to mention also on Disk 2 Rinoa pushed Squall in Fisherman's Horizon. Rinoa was like: "Ehhh! GIMMIE ATTENTION SQUALL!" Rinoa also sat on Squall and molested him inside the Ragnarok. Also all of those times on Disk 1 when Rinoa kept flirting with Squall.

I'm not defending Squall, I don't really care about him as a character. One thing is for sure, Rinoa was a very childish character who kept bugging Squall.

every time I look at this thread I still can think nothing but "O_O people hate her?!?" the poster above makes a fair point about her bugging Squall but thats probably because Squall is so inept and handling social situations that he needs to be "coaxed" into things.

I didn't mind Rinoa at all. I don't know why she wasted her time trying to get Squall's attention, but I give her kudos for trying and at least being there for him when he did need someone to sort of guide him emotionally.

I used her as one of my main 3 characters too along with Squall and Zell; she was a fairly good fighter.
