you see her launch the ice spear at 3:43 ... then at 4:03 you realize she impaled Squall through the chest... and he's falling. Then at disc 2, you're reminded that he's the main character... and that the heart is on the other side of the chest. Haha!
@blacktalonflyer I think I cried when Squall got impaled. I was like "NOT AGAIN! FIRST AERIS NOW HIM?!" in tears. I was like 8 though and didn't really understand that main characters generally don't die on disc one xD
Anyone noticed that Irvine and Squall's position is the merry-go-round which would put them in front of the float for Irvine to take the shot. When Edea's float goes under the arc and gets caged you can see the shot being taken she she blocks it from the front. Then you see Squall jumping down to commandeer a car and he slams into the gates BEHIND the float?
I love how you put in all that effort and it turns out an unmitigated disaster, serving to prove that Edea has the power of awesome on her side. Hottest FF villain yet!
I do love this game and these scenes are epic, but you would think that they'd realise that Edea was facing the wrong way. Irvine wouldn't be able to hit Edea from the clock tower since the back of the vehicle was in the way.
@Cjdamon042 Actually, Edea IS facing the right was. When the parade leaves the clock tower, it turns left and goes around the block. You can see it at about 0:55. After going around the block there, Edea would be facing the clock tower from the gates.
The better question is how Squall ends up BEHIND the parade. It's been a long time since I've played this, but I remember the last time we see Squall, he's on the second floor of the clock tower rescuing Rinoa, which would make him in front.
Just wondering, the song in this, as well as the song, servatis maleficoom, I think it was on ff8 as well as the song whisper by evanescence. What band or orchestra does this and what style of music is it? I love it.
I love this scene and this game, i have to admit thio, the one downside to this game is the incredibly broken gameplay that is very easy to exploit. Storywise tho, it's one of the absolute best.
0:12 Squall and Irvine are totally handing hands. That's so hot. Meanwhile, Selphie and Rinoa are making out... oh wait no they're just fantasizing about making out when they see each other.
I think the game creators were making a Hitler reference with Seifer in this scene. His name sounds german, he's the perfect example of an "arian" (blonde hair blue eyes), and that thing he did with his sword was just like Hitler's salute.
I'm just saying that's it's kind of symbolic that the Seed hunt begins after this scene even though they've done nothing wrong.
It's not unlike the events of world war 2 and game creators often like to replay real world events in their games.
I know Seifer's not a bad guy. He's just tired of losing out to Squall and wants to be a hero, unluckily for him that means being the bad guy for a while.
hey hey hey! respect the Zell! gotta respect the Zell! anyway though doesn't the scene seem kinda tim burton...ish? just the music with the parade dancers going all Thriller and everything. man I wanna play ff VIII again dammit.
Although FF VIII is a great game (no words to say, how I love this series) - this scene always seemed idiotic to me. Man! Are Galbadian people such morons!? The evil Witch kills the president AND says that they'll all die soon AND that she's a new dictator and they're all hailing her and there's even a parade!!! How stupid could that possibly BE?!
Yeah... and she'll kill them all on her own? Because ALL of the guards betrayed Galbadia as soon as they heard about the new dictature and ALL of them are now ready to kill as much innocent people as Witch wants?!
@sikesalicious its beyond "amazing" for it's time. sound effects for the cg scenes, hihg quality cg animations, im suprised they fitted everything using only 4 disks!
This song MADE this scene epic, hands down.

God, I can't believe Rinoa dodged that. Stupid bitch got Squall stabbed! Makes me wanna catapult babies at her.
And he still rescued her from outer space. Talk about pussy whipped.
But then again he is just really slow. I mean did you see how slow of a runner he is compared to Zell and Selphie in Dollet? lol
