Someone ought to do a Christmas spoof using Loveless.
"Ho ho hooooo!! Merry Christmas!!! Cloud! You've been a BAD BOY this year!! You killed... *checks list* ... 3,426 people while power-leveling to get Fire3 in Midgar!! No presents for you this year! Ho ho hoooo!"
And let's see... Tifa gets boob reducers, Aerith gets life insurance (100,000 gil at the end of Disk 1), Red XIII gets a chew toy, Barret gets nothing 'cause he's a terrorist, Yuffie gets the Super Nova materia, Cait Sith gets a new litter box, and if you revisit Cosmo Canyon later on, Cid gets nicotine patches and Vincent gets a new Halloween costume.

By the way... HOW did Rufus transport that enormous Sister Ray from Junon to Midgar? Did he hire Dio to carry it on his shoulders?

You made my day man! Aerith gets life insurance for christmas.

I would like getting that from santa myself lol.
And concerning the boat trip. Heidegger gets scolded because no one noticed Cloud, Sephiroth and the rest... HELLO! They were standing right outside the boat for 10 minutes after arriving at costa, chatting 'bout tans. Rufus and Heidegger conveniently enters the scene right after they leave too lol.
Later in the game you can transport the buggy across the continents without anyone noticing...
After digging up the sector 5 key, Cloud and the gang isn't exactly nice to the guy who lost it. Not only do they not return it, they let that poor fella hanging there, probably starving to death.
Concerning ff8 (a bit off topic, but this scene is seriously annoying me): When the SeeD team are on the "assassinate Edea" job at the end of disc 1, Quistis has just bean a bit mean towards Rinoa. After arriving at their location (where they're supposed to trap Edea), not only does Quistis regret being mean to Rinoa, she actually leaves her post to say how sorry she is. And the parade is just about to start. Not only that, Zell and Selphie decides to her... WTF? As far as they're concerned she's grounded; not going anywhere. Why not wait 'till the whole ordeal eventually finishes? And to top it all of, when they arrive at Rinoa's, and get locked in, they don't know how to get out... Windows anyone? The house is literately packed with windows. No,we can't smash any windows. Her father will be pissed.
And why would they need 3 man squad to pull a switch anyway? This scene makes no sense.
