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.

Rinoa

does anyone not hate her?

cause i didnt, i thought she was a good character. i liked how she was a general's daughter leading a resistance movement against his empire. i also thought she was strong in battle with her limit breaks. finally, i liked her and squall together, and i believe i may be the only person that didn't mind saving her multiple times. after all, the game would have been nothing without her

PS: please dont post RINOA SUXX QUISTIS 4 LYFE LULLZ !!.
if your gonna do that, make a rinoa hate thread, this is a rinoa love thread.

I agree, she was a great character, the general's daughter thing was cool an her limit breaks were pretty strong. Squall an her made a great couple aswell, plus i liked her personality.

I didnt hate her, I really liked her. I did prefer her to Quistis, but Im a Selphie fangirl also. As main heroines go, shes second next to Yuna for me.

People can see her as annoying and possibly bossy, but I seen her as someone who was protected most of her life and wanted to break free of her father and have full independence. Hence her creating her own group.

I think she wanted to show Squall and Co she wasnt some little dare I say, rich kid, and was able to hold herself in battle and could be like SeeD members. Plus I love her charater design.

I like her too but when i asked my friend's friend(he hates rinoa) He says that "She's a whiny little slut with no skills! Her weapons are lame, i mean seriously, wtf is with a pinwheel! And she's such a wimp! Why doesnt she just admit her feeling to Squall(I dont understand that part )! I mean shes just the worst character ever!!!" I didn't understand that-her weapons are cool and so what if it's a pinwheel? How is she whiny slut? How is she a wimp!

I use to like Rinoa when I first played FFVIII. Since last year I replayed it again for the 5th time, or whatever, I actually did not like her. She reminded me of an ex-friend of mine.

Rinoa seemed way too pushy towards Squall. She was an 'attention whore'. Also Rinoa to me seems childish and spoiled.

Rinoa: *Pushes Squall* Ehhh Squall give me attention! Your not looking at me! I hate you now!

Squall: ....What?

One part of the game that really annoyed me about Rinoa is when before Quistis, Zell and Selphie got locked in her home. (The part before Rinoa meets Edea.) Quistis was demanding Rinoa to corporate but Rinoa wanted to do things her way.

Yeah sorry, Rinoa is one of the main reasons I dislike VIII so much. I can understand why someone would like her, from the 'protected girl who's trying to be free' point of view, but I just....couldn't get into her so to speak xD

I found her entirely to clingy, and this right here is a great example of a scene that made cringe

I've never really hated any character out of the FF Series *I mean like hate hate* because after all, they are just a character following a role. But Rinoa does sort of annoy me at time's.

But I also like the sort of lovey thing between her and Squall and some of her Limit's are superb ^^ . So I don't hate her but I don't really like her so much either...

I liked Rinoa. She was one of my strongest characters, and i felt like she was a very likeable character.

The problem with Rinoa is that you have to safe her about 4 or 5 times in the game, plus she is forced into Squall who in one second completely ignores her and on the other she is the most important thing to her...

Plus she acts like a super sweet 16 girl who decides to have a fit atack and form a rebellion because her father didn´t give her a brand new car for her birthday or something like that...
