I think a few parts of their relationship over the course of the game were lost in translation (moving from high-context to low-context), in addition to all of the cultural commentary. From what I remember, there were a lot of subtle hints before it became super obvious, but you could see the direction their relationship was going in from miles away regardless. You can even tell he liked her all along, but was in denial and tried hard to push her away (his reactions towards her just made it more obvious). I think Squall's romantic feelings for her weren't sudden; it was actually a slow build-up if you knew how to read between the lines (which is kind of easy to do in Japanese).

I also felt that there were a couple other similarities between them that's hard to point out in the NA version. For example, they are both very blunt and honest (for Japanese standards); Rinoa was just actually vocal about it. There were definitely some other things I can't remember, or didn't understand entirely.

But while I thought their relationship made plenty of sense, personally, it was just not very interesting, mostly because I've seen that formula plenty of times elsewhere.
