7: Squall doesn’t get to summon the objectively coolest GF Griever, and a lazy translation doesn’t make it clear in English that Ultimecia drew it from his mind directly.
Yeah it’s apparently clearer in Japanese that Griever is Squall’s concept of the ultimate GF, which adds both a literal Final Fantasy and an element of Squall fighting and defeating his own idea of ultimate power.
7.5 Lazy translations didn’t want to deal with any of the more complicated ideas, so fan theories came up with weird shit like Rinoa being Ultimecia (but that is admittedly fun so I’m only counting it as half a reason)
5: Zell
Wore the face tattoo better than Mike Tyson.
Also, how dare you. Zell is a treasure.
Okay you’re right I retract it it’s not Zell’s fault he was designed in 90’s
5: You can get most of the ultimate weapons in disk one
If you’re going through that much trouble, you’re wanting to break the game. And I encourage that.

Woah, woah, woah.
I assume you’re talking about Lunar Cry ruining the space scenes? I haven’t heard that before. Kinda wild. But I respect your opinion.

Wait, is that what happened? I assumed it was a legendary GF, maybe long-dead, that Ultimecia has access to.
100% legitimate complaint though.
