Do you believe in unicorns and people never dying, too?

So. Summoning mythical beasts is REALISTIC AND AOKAY in your book

A TIME TRAVELING WITCH. THING. Shoving an ICICLE THROUGH A GUY'S CHEST--WHO LIVES also AOKAY AND REALISTIC.

Hooking up with your first love. PREPOSTEROUS, I SAY. I'LL HAVE NONE OF THIS TOMFOOLERY.

I didn't say I think hooking up with your first love is unrealistic. Just when it happens in a matter of...what...like a week? And then people think they're going to be together ~*~*~*~*FOREVER*~*~*~*~? Please.

Er. The happiest damn couple I know was like that. They've been married coming on...thirty years? Doesn't happen for everybody, but when it does, it's nice. Maybe that's why I think these sorts of stories appeal to me. It may not happen to me--but it might happen to someone!

I'm not the other anon, but I think what makes the pairing unrealistic was how it was handled. We are supposed to accept things like time-traveling witches and magic because that's how the rules of the FFVIII world works. However, we are supposed to identify with the human characters, but what makes it difficult is when the characters we are supposed to relate to have emotional reactions that are so...unrealistic, for lack of a better word.

It's not the "first love" deal that makes the pairing incompatable, IMO, but their attitudes towards one another. Squall is apathetic towards Rinoa with little affection towards her in the beginning of the game. However, when her life is in danger he goes through unbelievable lengths to make sure she is safe, such as making her safety the main priority (even above the rest of the Garden!). She's constantly thrown in the damsel-in-distress role to make her seem like Squall's "princess" in need of rescuing, but what is meant to seem endearing only suceeds in being irritating to many.

Also what is equally annoying is the rest of the party's opinion on the relationship. They all act like matchmakers and feel that the only way to get through to Squall would be for him and Rinoa to hook up. Forget just becoming his friend; when there's romance involved, who needs friendship?

...Hi, stop being anonymous so we can be friends. D: Because I agree, like, 300 percent!
