Final Fantasy VIII Questions

[Apocalypse]

Did Squall know who his father was?
Did Laguna know about Raine's pregnancy?
Could sorceress Adel actually be a Sorcerer? (I think that this could be just an english translation error. They never said all the descendants of Hyne are all just sorceresses.)

Those are some of the questions that had pondered me...
I think that VIII has great storyline.

[FFking]

Yes it was a great storyline.....but I just can't seem to remember it very well. I can't answer those questions..

[archangelserenity]

1 pretty sure it didn't say
2 probably not
3 descendants aren't always but s/he was

i dont really know and probably no one knows

[Vinny Valentine]

i think that since the sorceresses can pass on their powers (thats how Edea got hers) that anyone could become a "descendant of Hyne", or at least any girl.....i think

[Jonbrawnanvil]

They never address specifically as to whether or not Squall knows his father. It is also never "Said" that Laguna is his father though that is the general consensus on the topic.

Raine's pregnancy...hmmm, I just played through but I don't recall as to whether or not he knew before he left. Again I don't think they addressed it properly. They let you know that she died during her pregnancy and that it happened while Laguna was away rescuing Elone but I don't believe they said one way or the other. The only way that I can think that you would be able to nail an answer down on that one would be to pay attention to time lapses. Like how long Laguna was supposedly away rescuing Elone. One thing that just occurred to me is that it was after he rescued Elone that he decided to join up with the resistance faction and stop Adel. I think if he had known that Raine was pregnant he wouldn't have done so. He isn't the type of character to walk away from his wife and child in my opinion. So I would say he didn't know she was pregnant when he left.

As for Adel, while she is ugly and masculine enough to be a man I'm pretty sure that she is a she and not a he. Mainly due to the fact that Squaresoft went out of their way to make sure that they put some form of covering over her breasts...what little she had of them anyway. While I have no doubt that there could technically have been sorcerers since they passed their powers on to whoever they chose Squaresoft made it appear that they only chose women successors.

Theres my opinion

[Vinny Valentine]

i agree with that guy^ "

No, I don't think he knew about that. Also, they never talk about it when they are together that time with Ellone (some ruined village, can't remember it's name) if I my memory serves me right..

[Vinny Valentine]

Winhill is the name of the village, and he never wrote about it in timber maniacs because he didn't want tourists to visit.

Is there any way to get to an Items shop in disc four? I have been running around for a while and have, like, 18 or 19 different items that I have 100 of.. and I also have all of the magic ever concieved in the game.. so no hope of refining.

[Trekfan]

You need to get the Tonberry GF to learn Shop in order for you to sell the stuff. I do have a question for you guys... How do you get the Friggin' Ribbon in this Friggin' game? The Guide says there is an Item called ribbon, but where the hell is it?

[Sir Laguna]

Did Squall know who his father was?

I don't think so. We know that Laguna is his father because we're filling the blanks, but nobody told him that he was his father, at least not directly. (Laguna promise talk to him after everything is over, maybe he did it after the ending).

Did Laguna know about Raine's pregnancy?

When he found out, Raine was already dead and his son, along with Ellone, were sent to Edea's orphanage.

Could sorceress Adel actually be a Sorcerer? (I think that this could be just an english translation error. They never said all the descendants of Hyne are all just sorceresses.)

The game always say that only women can inherit the sorceress powers. Adel is a woman, maybe she looks like that because of her magical powers, or she choole to look like that so she can inflict fear.

Is there any way to get to an Items shop in disc four?

As already said, you must use the GF Tomberry abilities to use shops (and junk shops) from the menu in disc 4. is the only way.

How do you get the Friggin' Ribbon in this Friggin' game? The Guide says there is an Item called ribbon, but where the hell is it?

Guess what... you could only get one through Chocobo World.
Or using a Game Shark.

[squall_tine17]

1st question: it's obvious! its Laguna....
2nd: i don't think so...he doesn't know, Ellone explains that in the Lunar Base...
3rd: i don't know!

3: Yes, all Hyne descendants are sorceresses, i do believe.....
