oops, Rinoa has been lost in space forever!
The game mechanics made the "catch Rinoa in space" way harder than I expected and so I lost her in space twice. 😩 Luckily, there was a "try again" button. The whole plot with Adel and the moon and the Lunar Cry is so bizarre, honestly, and I love it. Monsters live on the moon, and sometimes they fall to Earth. How do they survive the trip from the moon to earth? don't know don't care, apparently. Got an evil sorceress you doing know what to do with? Stick her in space forever. Somehow it's been 17 years but few people seem to remember it, which would seem realistic if I was also 17 but in my 40s, 17 years ago feels like yesterday.
Squall is just so interestingly clueless about love? Like he clearly has feelings for Rinoa based on how crazy he gets when she's unconscious and how he just dives into space for her heedless of the consequences, but then when he saves her he's like hug? what's that? why would I hug you? And then when she sits in his lap later he's like "why are you sitting here?" and does not seem to understand the concept of physical affection. Which like, I can see that he was brought up not having any physical affection, but he's a teenager who grew up in a school, he's gotta know about romance as a concept and physical affection as a concept, which makes it weird for him to be so clueless.
I feel like the sequence of events with the sorceresses is kinda weird, like, how did Edea give her sorceress powers to Rinoa? Did Ultimecia take them from Edea and put them in Rinoa? Anyway I do like the idea that Ultimecia was possessing Rinoa in order to free Adel, and was just gonna leave Rinoa floating in space once her job was done.
Anyway Steam is having their sale so I bought FFIX as well, which is actually the first and only final fantasy I have actually played myself! I'm working my way slowly through ff7 as well but I can't figure out how to turn off random encounters and I hate fighting so it's kind of a slog. I've got FFXV too but have been too absorbed in 8 to think about much else at the moment.
