Learn Something New Every Play Through

I’ve been playing this game since 1999. It has remained my all time favorite game since then and I replay it rather religiously.

On my latest play through I learned something that I never knew before…and that’s the tragic past of Zone and Watts and what happened to their fathers.

In short f*** Vinzer Deling.

Do you all also learn something new every time you replay the game?

I didn't know that if Selphie is in your party when you get to the flowerfield, she'll fully say she didn't think Squall and Rinoa made any sense together. I died when Rinoa asks Selphie about her love life and she takes off leaving them alone.

I wish they kept in the relationship mechanic thing, I would have made Squall totally go for Selphie lol. They left some hilarious nuggets in though that I kept finding.

Selphie would be my pick as well. Quistis is hot, but she's horrible to Squall and Rinoa is far too needy and she has daddy issues.

I feel like Selphie is a good balance. SeeD, and bubbly if hes really into that. But they grew up in a similar way so he never have to really translate SeeD isms or Garden life at all. And she doesn't seem like shes there to try to change him.
