| Plot |
'Evil witch from the future tries to destroy everything with time compression so she can rule over it , and Squall and Rinoa wage a small cold war of emotions with each other that really doesn't intrest anyone else.'
Firstly, why would the witch try to destroy everything? If you destroy everything then what do you rule over? The answer--nothing. The means by which the sorceress Ulticima tries to take over the world destroy everything.Even in the past, time compression causes all the cities or towns to be surrounded by a blue ziploc seal. Which coincidentally makes no sense whatsoever, if you can go into a forest, why can't you go into Galbadia? However, time compression conviently left some places unscaled. The tower containing one GF remained open but the town which you first visit, Balamb, is still contained. By the way did everyone else die, and yet the CC group escaped this gruesome fate and secured a position on your ship, purley for their abilty to play triple triad? Speaking of which where DID Balamb Garden go?
As the fist disc ended without grabbing our immediate attention, we feel an intense moment of plot revalation approaching. When we reach Trabia garden, we feel we deserve a little morsel of storyline, espiecally becuase we just have been introduced to what would spoil much of the later game, I speak of course of the random rule in triple triad. When each of the characters gather in the ruins of a basketball court, we shown the truly substandard excuse for a story that is at the core of ff8. They are all from the same orphanage. Sorry if I cry it really gets to me. Not. Let's not forget our dear and beloved Matron who is actually trying to kill us.
Of course the 'Lunar cry' keeps up the true final fantasy tradtion of things coming from space. But does it make anymore sense then the rest of the game? No. The actual lack of information is shocking, as we understand it a bunch of creatures get together on the moon in order to resurect the sorcess Abel. We do not understand why no one mentioned creatures one the moon earlier in the game. Nor why they have to be on the moon. But here's something that makes sense: a bunch of animals fire themselves at our planet and of course it unseals an evil witch. You see the connection, right? I personally was very angered when I lost my Diablos card on the space station, fortunatley I was able to get it back from the CC group, I wonder how they got it?
