its just a musing theory with a rather large webpage devoted to strengthening hte argument :PP
enjoy the game however u like. its like a book, does anyone care if frodo is dead and dreaming all of lotr? it boils down to a basic interpretation or enjoyment or laack thereof.
 
The whole thing is just stupid. There is no way he could have died, or that would have been part of the game. Also, I think that that part of the game was just that he was injured so they could move the game along, and it's possible that he could have been healed so that he could survive torture later on.

Also, I read what someone posted about Final Fantasy X, and technically, Tidus was never alive in the whole game.
 
FFX had a clever plot and you are right he was a dream of the fayth.

FF8, no, Squall was not dead.  he was alive and openly questions why he is uninjured.  If he was dead, why would he live life the same as before and why would the game not make any reference to it.  Absurd idea.


Also he wasn't hit in any vital organ with the spike.  They needed him alive for the interrogation.

The whole thing about Squall being dead makes no sense. And I think part of the creator's idea was that sometimes life is stranger then fiction, and included such an idea in the game itself, so if you put yourself in the eyes of the characters, everything would really makes sense in a strange way.
 
Squall is Laguna's son. Mind = Blown

It's not that hard to figure out really,lol. I mean, Raine had a son that she died giving birth to, and Laguna had to be the father, and Squall is kinda like both and neither at the same time. It kinda makes sense for it to be him, really. I mean, otherwise, how would the flashbacks with Ellone really even be possible with someone else?
 
It was never directly implied, only subtle hints were made. I don't know, I guess him dying at the end of Disc 1 could make sense. The game is called Final Fantasy after all.

As true as that is, it does make sense for him to be Laguna's son. And while the game may be called that, that doesn't mean that the main characters die. I mean, really, when the last time a main character died on a Final Fantasy?
 
I suppose it's how you interpret the events. Final Fantasy X had some small loopholes in the story.

As true as that is, he was technically just a dream, so everyone else was real, and he technically wasn't, they could just see him.

If they could "just see him" he wouldn't have been able to physically affect anything much less do battle and kiss the heroine. I believe he falls under the same category as summons. In fact it's hard to relate FFX-2 when he was able to come back. After all, in FFX once all the fayth had been "stoned" or lost their forms whatever, he started fading away. So then who was the fayth that allowed him to come back (besides the obvious kid behamoth fayth)

Well, I dunno about a summons, or that much about the mechanics of the game, I just know what is true within the game reality, and the reality is that he was a dream of the faith, and therefore not alive.
 
Hmm I for one actually agree with Tidus like the summons because he was also being summoned or is a dream of fayth like the summons. :)

Well, it could be true, but who knows, really. For all we know it could be something totally different then a direct summon by the Fayth. I just couldn't say what though.

Well. I think that since they portray him in the farplain in FFX-2 (endgame scenes not the one where shuyin shows up) that he obviously has a soul. So he had to have lived to some compacity. Everything in that world is made up of pyreflies just like how all living things in ff7 are made up of lifestream. So to that capacity of course tidus was alive.

... We may have to split this off into another discussion considering this thread is about squall. FFX Tidus being alive is a whole new discussion in of itself.

I was going to bring that argument up too. But if you think about it this way, Tidus might have been a normal kid living in a real city, and after the attack of Sin in Zanarkand during the game, he could have just died there and had this "life-flashing-before-his-eyes" sequence like Squall's in that theory, and he could have merely just imagined that he is nothing but a dream, and it could ahve been a reflection on his life about how he's always felt insignificant deep down. :P :P

I think this thread needs to be changed to all final fantasy characters are dead. :P

So all final fantasy fans are technically necrophiliacs?

More importantly, does this mean that rule 34 on FF is illegal here in Britain? ;D (f*ck our draconian porn laws >:()

If it is, I'd better nuke some sections of my HDD (not many sections, however...)
