If everything's a dream,

Late to the party, but it was fun reading about your experience with FFVIII! I think it gets kind of overlooked and it's true that the plot is weird and convoluted (then again, what Final Fantasy game isn't?) but I think there's a lot to like about it too. I love that you picked up on the idle animations. Rinoa's animations in particular are adorable and you can tell that the animators put in extra effort with her. There are a lot of theories about Ultimecia and her possible link with Rinoa, and I personally would have loved to have seen the sorceress mythology explored more in the game, but what we got was definitely intriguing.
