It's just a theory, like Timu said, think whatever the heck you want of the game and enjoy it how you like. :P
Good point. Well, I think Squall lives through what is supposedly the point where he dies,lol. That being said, I'm off to go play The Legend Of Dragoon (another game lots of people have opinions on,lol).

sadly one of those games I didn't get to finish before my jinx of a sister stepped on the disk.

Ouch, that sucks. You can find it on amazon.com for pretty cheap actually,lol.
 
Ahh, Legend of Dragoon. One of my favorite RPGs. I plomise, I will *never* get tired of that battle system. It's practically a bloody rhythm game. :P :P And the dialogue is extremely cheesez0rz, I love it. Wait what? Dart dies by the hands claws of the green dragon and dreams of Rose saving him, and the rest is just his life flashing by him before he dies? GAAAH! @_@

It's my favorite game,lol. And now you're just getting crazy. There is no death of Dart or any of the main characters, except for Lavitz, who gets replaced by Albert, and then another character at the end, though I don't wanna spoil who it is for any who haven't finished the game yet. But my point is, no one else dies, and Dart definitely doesn't.
 
Ok, well, all that makes sense, but I really don't think that Squall is dead in the game or anything. Yeah, everythign is weird, but that's just how some games are,lol.
vague endings never get old.

personally, i think this is one well researched theory backed by quite a lot of assumptions. and it makes a lot of sense. what i dislike about it is that it makes all gameplay after disc1 feel a bit pointless.

i'd stick to believing that squall didn't die and was spared because edea remembered him from orphanage. for that same reason she spared your party members at tv station (when talking to seifer) and had seifer follow her.

Actually, I think the whole thing was just someone over thinking the whole thing instead of just wanting to see it for waht it was, which would be what you believe it to be.

Oh lulz that would actually make some sense. :) My ultimate guess would have been for the convenience of the plot cuz square likes to do that, without explaining anything. :P
 
Watch from 4:20.

It does seem like he is coming to terms with his own death.
ehhh? i think it was just for dramatic effect lol. make main character seem he's lost the battle, and is unable to recall the memories that are supposed to save him. then he is saved very dramatically.

lol serious i think there should be a new meme.
what if i'm dead and dreaming since the end of disc 1

This is what I was always led to believe, and I still do, but considering other possibilities allows for a different perspective while playing.
 
Gaming experience may differ when offline
Especially since it's a game that can't be played online,lol. And really, the whole idea of Squall being dead was prolly someone's idea of trying to get attention.
 
Looks like blackdeathmessenger is having a really hard time taking this information in.

No I'm not, I just think the whole idea of it is an absolute farce which is making people over think the the reality of their games.

Agreed.
 
To be perfectly honest, this creates the only perspective through which I appreciate the games plot. And since I'm much less concerned with proof when it comes to fictional realities, I shall forever more insist to myself that this was the original intention. On the other hand, while disc 1 didn't really piss me off, I still didn't enjoy it much, and it being Squall's fantasy doesn't really make the hours of exposition more enjoyable as they happen, so I probably won't play through it again. This "revelation" shall only serve to leave me with memories from which I can gain something positive, and not just memories that leave a bad taste in my mouth.

*Edit* If I was in an FF8 story line I would go back in time and beat the crap out of myself for dating my first gf, gawd I was such an idiot, I COULD CHANGE ALL THAT!!!
Same with terminator and other time travel media. However I'd just go back in time and knock up my first gf. Probably it would teach my younger self some responsibility.
the problem with applying "time travel" or mixing past/present/future as a reachable place in any game/movie/anime or any other tv series etc that may have had such a plot, is that it's full of more holes than swizz cheese. I honestly never bothered to question it, I looked at it for what it was and sure maybe I tried to make some sense of it but never could be bothered to over think it because of topics like this.
It's been said already, there's people getting flamed on other forums for messages about squall being dead, rinoa being ultimecia etc. oh btw I rinoa is not ultimecia, square enix themselves put that to rest when serious speculation was rising and before that I gotta be honest even I thought that was true, but alas, it is not. Squall is not dead, if he was the entire game after disc 1 would be a dream.... if i'm not mistaken squall woke up in bed after disc 1 supposed death, perhaps he was dreaming that he died! yet another possibility, geezus, it's endless >.> *goes back to drinking and stops trying to apply logic to "fantasy" games*

Agreed.
Finally, someone that agrees with me,lol.

I'm going to actually have to be one who disagrees with you. Not saying I believe the whole Squall is dead theory. What I'm thinking about is your statement "Making people over think the reality of their games". I would say play though the game the first time in pure enjoyment of it, then everytime after that do it simply to get a new perspective on the story and such. I've replayed games that I had played as a kid simply cause now that I'm older I'll catch/have a new perspective on the story. Like the old point and click adventures. Love them but ones like "under a steel sky" were hard for me as a kid. Now wam bam thank you mam, I can solve the puzzles and get the full story.

Well, I'm not saying you couldn't do it that way, I just think outrageous theories like certain characters being dead with no proof (in ANY form), are, well, outrageous. Honestly, I have an extremely hard time even thinking it. I would more easily believe that Rinoa was a transvestite or something.
