Jeez....I never caught on to that...
About Laguna's movie and Seifer. I always thought it was the book that the library had. At least I think it was a book. I remember seeing something about it on that classroom console. It said something about, 'the following things have been checked into the library'; then there was a list of things and one of the titles was something about The Sorceress' Knight. And there were other titles about Peppen? or something to that effect. I never figured out what that Peppen thing was. I guess it's that Flying Saucer and the battle where you get his card. I haven't done that quest.
The first time I played FF8, I thought I would be able to read those books. I thought that Square would put it in as a side game or something....like the Mogg Cupo Nut Flying game that was in FF7's Wonder Square. I was also, so sure that there would be a minigame with Zell's hoverboard, but they never used, either in the game. FF8 could have been so much better.....
I never noticed Adel's message...I guess it the part where Squall and party were looking at that big screen TV? Next time I'll pay more attention to the garbled on the Big Screen.
I still enjoy playing FF8. And I understood Squall (most of the people who know me, would probably say I'm exactly like Squall. Luckly, for me, non of my friends are into computer games, or consoles, for that matter.) FF8 is just missing something that FF7 had. I guess, your right, the story arcs were just too small to follow.
I think I missed that part about Odine...really I probably just don't remember it. I'm currently playing the game. So maybe, I just hadn't gotten to that part yet....and if I did...guess I was half asleep when that dialog came up. I'm currently at the part where Selphie and Irvine take control of that Ship....which I can't remember the name of.
I'm not sure if I can find a away around that Odine Statement...other than that his assumption was wrong.....but that's way, too weak to fall back on. Maybe I'll just write a Fan Story about FF8, when I have time. I think I have enough material for one. I'll focus on Ultimecia's Time, and then join it to Squall's. It'll be just like the Fan Stories you see for FF7, but instead of being about the ending...it will be about the beginning.
You know...I remember seeing discusions on other forums, about how that ship was found, so easily, by Rinoa and Squall. It is assumed that it was floating in space for 17 years, with no one caring enough to go out and retreiving it. That Squall and Rinoa just happen to find it, in their moment of need. Well, I saw some thing in a FMV that may be that ship flying towards the Lunar Base. Next time you play the game, play close attention to the FMV that shows those capsoles, that Squall and company took, being retrieved. When the camara pans to the Space Station, you see a Red ship zooming towards it. The ship looks a lot like that ship the....Reanoke? (that can't be right...that' the name of that English Colony that mysteriously disappeared. I always have trouble remembering names. I'll probably remember the name after I sign off, I'm sure.) Anyway, you'll see something that looks like that ship. It very small and it's moving very fast, and it's moving away from the camera, so I'm not very certain that it is the ship.....it's red, anyway.
Of course then the monsters in the ship, and the instruction to kill them, don't make much sense. I guess, just keep your eyes open during that FMV and see if you see that red ship zooming towards the Space Station...and if you think that it may be Squall's ship....(I never noticed it until, now)
I forgot....Qhimm has an FMV viewer, for FF8, on the main page. Guess I can give that viewer a try (on Disk 3) and verify it for myself, it happens pretty quickly, in the game.
