I happened to type in something Squall-related for something I was searching for and got this website;
www.squallsdead.com Ahh? Reading over it, (yeah, I'm a dork, I frantically read through all of it) they make some good points. I did always wonder about that "ice-wound" bit, and I suppose a lot of elements do seem strange after Disc 1, but I just assumed that was the quirky world of FFVIII.
Thinking that it was all a dream in Squall's mind, or that Rinoa never really fell in love with him...makes me sad.
While I appreciate and think that this theory is interesting and well thought-out, I really don't like it at the same time. I want to be caught up in the fantasy world that Squall is the hero, and managed to get the girl. Dammit. Stupid theory. I can't believe I had no idea it had been circling the net for so long. D:
He's not dead, dammit. >_< Nooo. This theory has shattered my VIII world of happy and romance. Bah. I'm going to still live there, but yeah. Why would someone come up with that theory? (My brain keeps telling me how logical it all is, which makes me even more annoyed) STFU, brain. Squall's alive. Rinoa and he fell in love, and all of the main characters minus Rinoa were so born at the same orphanage, I don't care how cheesy it was. Wahh. :(
