well so i read this in the FF wikia idk if that site is official so what i just learned could be total bull
but the storyline totally supports the idea and it fits O_o
Squal Leonhart is actually ... (wait for it....)
Squall Loire O_o
"HOW?!" u say?!
SPOILER ALERT!
cuz when Laguna fought the Estharians, anyone who played and beat ff8 knows this o_o
but when he met little Ellone, he wanted to protect her like his own child with that woman
Raine who nursed him back to health after the Estharian Galbadia war (The Sorceress War)
Well, Adel was bent on taking Ellone, and the Estharians came for her again, and took her.
Before Laguna left for his journey, he and Raine did the naked dance O_o (they were married =p)
But she never told (if she knew) or got a chance to tell (if she didnt kno b4) that she was
prego. Well over the 9 months of her pregnancy, and beyond, Laguna was still on his mission
to get Ellone back from the Estharians. He - no knowing his wife was prego - sent Ellone back
to Winhill ahead of him to help the Estharians rebuild their government after he helped them
overthrow it. Ellone Returned to Winhill around the time Raine went into labor and Raine
died durring childbirth. She had a little boy, Squall, her death left them both without caretakers
They both ended up at Edea's orphanage, Squall never knew anything about his parents
Laguna knew nothing about his son O_o, Ellone was too young to understand, and Raine
was too dead to tell anyone the facts x_x. GF's ruined Squall's memory of his past so he didnt
know WHY he called Ellone "Big Sis" when he was a child, but WHILE he was a child, he knew
that Ellone was the only one at the orphanage that knew who he was to a point and loved
him like that (kinda) little brother that he was (not blood, adoptive)
So with the possibility that the boy Raine had being squall and that final fantasy stories have
weird creepy twists like this i totally believe it O_o
Example
SPOILER WARNING
Hojo/Lucretcia/Vincent love triangle (twisted guinea pig triangle actually =p) birthing Sephiroth =p
btw... who the fawk are clouds parents O_o
