Squall & Laguna - Page 2

Simple reason why Squall's name is in the topic title.
I typed it by mistake due to lack of sleep.

But anyways, I've read a few fanfics where Seifer got the idea from watching the movie when he was a kid.

And while it was a nice and wholesome "be a hero for the people" idea, Ultimecia comes and f*cks it up

Poor Seifer...

I don't think Seifer is the type to like when people feel bad for him. :p

Laguna was a G-soldier, and that was how he was taught to use a gunblade, i think he even says 'i havent used one of these since training'.
The fact that seifer uses it like that is linking seifer to galabadia.
That even when he is being trained by the garden his intentions arent entirely pure

Too bad for him

He just needs a hug after getting mind-f*cked by Ultimecia

Yeah, I remember Laguna saying that.

But about Seifer's intentions; who actually does have pure intentions really? I mean Squall didn't care about that; he was in Garden 'cause he simply was and just wanted to complete his obligation as a mercenary; Nida was all world-domination after the SeeD exams, Selphie just wanted to do the festival, etc.

I dare say Cid was the only one with pure intentions for Garden, and even that get's a tad hazy after a while

Seifer was never trained as a soldier, and therefore wouldn't know that stance from there. Perhaps that is simply the normal gunblade stance, and Squall chooses to alternate his by making it more of a sword instead of a gun.

I would think would be more likely since Seifer never tried to be a soldier and would have been in Garden since young young age.

The pose Seifer does at the start is a speeded up but exact copy of Laguna's pose in the move with teh slash, slash, then bringing the gunblade up in front of his face.

Ahaha that's a silly idea. ^.^

What I don't get...is that Laguna was under Squall's control at that point in the game...Laguna wasn't fighting the dragon, Squall was! So it was Squall who used that fighting stance, which is very odd, because that is Seifer's fighting style, and we never see Squall fight that way any other time in the game. =]

he doesnt control him though does he?
Laguna and co say they could hear squall's and everyone else's voices in their heads.
I dont think they controlled them though

Well obviously they did control them if they have the exact same stats that Squall and co. have when they're in battle...not to mention that you're literally moving Laguna across the screen. XD

As a matter of fact, I don't think Laguna had any control over his conscience...he still had a loud mouth when Squall's conscience was inside of him...but you literally controlled his every move. (Well...save a select few).

(LOL, why did you add spoiler tags to that; everyone who played the game knows that

)

That's a good point, but for the most part Squall and co are more like voyeurs when it came to events. Laguna probably controlled his own movements with the one-on-one battle against the dragon, but obviously Squall and the others were controlling their actions during the normal battle.

Although, the fangirl is me wants to say that Squall and Seifer were
rivals and even inadvertent training partners, thus Squall probably learned some stuff from Seifer 'cause he loves-er, um, respects him so much

EDIT: Ah, I guess there was some posting while I was slowly typing up mine
