| 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 kind of always thought that and it seemed that they were trying to make it obvious.

This is going to sound stupid and I apologise for it, but I didnt know Ellone was Raine's daughter. I thought Ellone was adopted by Raine.

No, you where correct, Ellone was more or less adopted by Raine. Her real parents where killed during the Esthar/Sorceress Wars. In short, Esthar soldiers came to Windhill in search of Ellone (for Adel) they couldn't find her, so they wound up killing her true birth parents and leaving empty handed. After those events Raine took Ellone under her care until she was kidnapped later on by Esthar soldiers.

Wow, so that's what happened. A whole question has been entirely answered for me. I never thought of the story like the way everybody described it as. I thought Squall was born from somebody that just wasn't mentioned in the story. Thanks for clarifying that for me everybody! By the way... what Lydia said about everyone's name's being references to water... In FFIX Zidane made a reference to FF's 7 and 8 when he said "neither Cloud nor Squall will seperate you from me..." That's where they suppossedly got Squall's name from. I think.

Squall was the previous main character before Zidane. So he was already named. That quote is just something Square threw in, like in the weapons shop, Zidane mentions knowing a guy with blonde spikey hair who owned a sword like that. |

Really, I never knew that. Which disk is this that on and what part? Also, just because Cloud and Squall's names were created before FFIX, doesn't mean that they couldn't have thought of their names as a story reference in FFIX.

"neither Cloud nor Squall will seperate you from me..."
Not to be a dick or anything, but just a correction.. I believe that it was Steiner who said that line, and the actual line was "No cloud nor squall shall hinder us." (In refrence to bad weather, Cloud being something that could blind them of things, and a squall being a type of sea storm) I'm not entirely sure if it was Steiner, but it seems like something Steiner would say, because I know for a fact that thats what the line was, that quote was implanted in my brain as the most obvious easter egg ever.
And about the Ellone/Raine connection: Sorry for stating that I thought Ellone was Raines daughter, it just made sense... Because in a way, Raine was her mother, even if not biologically.
And sorry for confusing you Sapphire... I know, I tried explaining it to my friend and he didnt get any of it.
EDIT: Fiz, if your talking about my explaination, then you should probably get a file that has all the sidequests done, and your at the end of the game; there is a spot in the Tutorial section of the menu... I can't remember which section, as it's been a while since I checked.

Oh, I'm sorry about the screw up on the message. It was actually about 2 or 3 years ago since I beat that game so I forgot what he said. It was also Zidane who said that during the play at the ending of the game when he got back together with Dagger.
