***** I know he's popular, that doesn't make him cool. He's an overrated, unintimidating a-sexual cuddlybear who would get annihilated by top tier jocks in today's society.
Squall: So... wait. You're my dad? Laguna: Yeah. Squall: ... Then why are you so... young? Laguna: ... *points to Ultimecia* Squall: ... This explains so much.
I love how Laguna is the most chill positive happy relaxed dude in the world and his son Squall is the exact opposite the lone wolf introvert strong serious emo edgy cool cold dude 😂😂
+-discontinued- The same can be said for a sword. Anyone can pick it up and start slashing. However it takes skill in order to not hurt yourself with said sword, and know how to block,parry, and strike. With a gun you can pick it up and shoot, but your aim has to be good otherwise you'll miss or even hit the wrong target. There's also stuff like ammo management, recoil, and some guns can even take off your knuckle if your not careful.
+Cameron Livingston Yes, I'm familiar with guns and I'm familiar with swords. You're right about swords and guns, but the difference is swords require you to get up in your opponent's face while playing offensively and defensively, with guns you can just sit back far away and shoot with no worry of being hurt (this is in the case of gun vs. sword).
@Keiji555 Squall is confirmed as Laguna's son in the Final Fantasy VIII Ultimania Omega guide, which is basically a massive compilation of information on anything and everything FFVIII, full of developer comments and interviews, and background information from the world of the game, and, perhaps most importantly, it is written and published by Square Enix and it's sister companies. It's ultimately an official encyclopedia for the game. When I say the game makers said so, I was referring to that.
And Laguna always fights cloud of darkness in this go figure you think by now he knows what to do well maybe he fought her once but that be enough for him to come up with how to fight her without getting distracted
@@egateqa1351 now I know how Squall feels like when he has a hole in his face, FF8 is the ONLY game I've ever played that doesn't have voice acting, it's kinda creepy it's all music and noises and sound effects only, it's like black and white show
@Keiji555 Well, Sephiroth isn't even in FFVII until the final battle. The "Sephiroth" you are chasing across the world is Jenova, who has shapeshifting powers, and who has taken Sephiroth's form. The reason Cloud is chasing "Sephiroth" down is because Cloud is being forcibly drawn to Jenova for the Reunion. The Nibelheim flashback was all about introducing Sephiroth. Not establishing motive for revenge. And, Squall's relationship with Ellone is directly linked to his relationship with Laguna.
Oh man.... For sure they punched you multiple times in the face at school.... Btw SAO is shit, better watch: Hunter x Hunter 2011 or Rainbow rokkubo no shinshin
Well i could lie and say what you said in the first part isn't true..... But it is true lmao And maaan HxH 2011 is pretty good in my opinion.. Did you watched it till the end? The first few episodes aren´t good, but it has a pretty good story and i liked how the protagonists dont win in every fight like Fairy Tail or One Piece.. And raimbow is definitley a must watch anime but you should be 18+ to watch it.. This isn't brutal but some scence are kinda intense you know.. Do you have some Anime to recommend?
Laguna is the deadpoo- THEN WHAT DOES THAT MAKE GILGAMESH!? Laguna might have his snappy remakes, but Gilgamesh knows that he is in a video game according to XIII-2
Laguna: Your Highness, don't fall for your own traps! Emperor Mateus: From the amount of times that swarm of insects you call allies have sent me flying into them, I know for a fact that I cannot.
@Keiji555 you DO realise that a LONG time ago, square said that it was their intention for fans to discover that Laguna was Squall's father... you have to remember, it is a GAME and not EVERYTHING in games make sense
Personaly I belive that the age refering to Laguna is ment for the first time you play as him in FF8 game at that time he was a yung solider 27 ward was 17 and Kiros 23 or something like that So by the time you meet him as Squall hes probebly in his late 40s
I read all the comments about Laguna and Squall, and I remember when Squall kid talk with Edea about his SIS... And sis never was showed... Idk I didn't play the game but I remember that lol
I find it hard to believe that he's Squall's father, when he looks so young that to me it seems more likely at first impression that he might be instead Squall's brother.
@RosekiSommers Okay. Yeah, the world was in tatters, but Edea's orphanage wasn't the only orphanage. That is really unlikely. Timber had a habit of taking in more orphans that they could. and in Winhill, there was an elderly couple that took in children, and they are still alive during the playthrough with Squall. And he wasnt hated, the town was uncomfortable with a soldier, but he was respected when he hunted down monsters that was causing trouble for the town, and founding the town guard.
@Keiji555 In the dream sequences, Squall always dreams that he is Laguna. Not Zell, or Seifer, or Irvine, or any of the others. The others all mix and match who they are, Kiros or Ward. But Squall is always Laguna in those dream sequences. And Ellone states that that is no coincidence. She tells Squall that the reason for that is that he and Laguna have a bond that none of the others have. And, perhaps the most irrefutable reason Squall is Laguna's son: Because the game makers said so.
Laguna's Squall's father, but they're so different! In FF8: Squall's a loner yet Laguna loves people In Dissidia: Squall's a Close-range fighter, but Laguna's a long-range fighter. In general? Squall uses a gunblade while Laguna uses a machine gun.
Better than how light tried to put him to sleep at the near end of the 12th cycle cause he's like we will win Me: Vaan as much as I want you guys to come out alive that ain't gonna happen buddy I agree with light here she could have save him by taking him out right there and then cause its not gonna matter Vaan was one of the first to fall and lightning was the last to fall..... Although that's to be expected since light was a soldier and has more stamina than Vaan
@RosekiSommers Cloud was chasing Sephiroth, who was Jenova, operating under Sephiroth`s orders, whom was killed out of vengeance by Cloud in Nibelheim. Also, did Jenova have a conscious line of thought? It was also stated she was a paracite, being the cause of Geostigma. As for the parentage, Edea's orphanage was 2 continents away from Windhill. and Windhill had its own orphanage. and Laguna was a hero in the village. So the village would not probably not let go of the child.
@NillaVision Well, Knowing SquareEnix, when it comes to orphans and their parents, if they have been estranged, then they put a whole lot of focus into that relationship with games. I thought I read somewhere that Raine was stated to be infertile. So that would be inconsistent. Yeah, there are some comments... But how do we know that its not a matter of similar appearance. It is plausible... But in rpgs, Orphans and Amnesiacs tend to return to directly face their roots. But Squall didn't.
Please don't mention spoilere, but are the Laguna dreams in FF8 actually important to the plot? I'm still on disk 1, so I'll repeat myself and request that, if my question is answered, you avoid spoilers.
@NillaVision I could be mistaken about the infertility... But Ive played a lot of rpgs... If you recall Tales of Symphonia, there was a lot of focus on the relationship between Kratos and Lloyd. And I may have not played the game (Stupid drawing system) but I have seen someone play the game so much, that I may as well played the game myself. There are hints, but the game didn't play on them. The story of FF8 would have put more of an enthasis, considering the roles of both Squall and Laguna.
Are we still in that avenue? Guys Laguna is Squall's father. end of story thats how it is. It's part of the story and it is stated many times in VIII. Sorry for being rude, but if you didn't know that then you should have just looked it up. Again sorry.
@Keiji555 Except that this was at the end of the Sorceress Wars, the world, especially the Galbadian continent, where Winhill was, was in tatters. Edea, however, was able to open and maintain an orphanage despite this. Thus, it is believed that for that small fraction of time, her orphanage was the only one open, in the entire world. Plus, Laguna was NOT a hero in the village. He was hated in Winhill, shunned for being a part of the Galbadian military, because the government was so oppressive.
@RosekiSommers Wow. You really did miss the boat on this one. The matter of Cloud being a Sephiroth clone, and its history was vital to the story, and they made sure to present the reasoning of how Cloud became a member of soldier. Yes, in FF8 they did focus on Squall's past. Such as with Ellone and the Orphanage. In fact, the Orphanage had more significance in Squall's history over his circumstatial relationship with Laguna.

I like how when he's speaking to Cloud, he deepens his voice a little.
Apple Jelly Can't be that hard being cooler than Cloud tbh.

I love how everyone uses fancy magic, swords, spears, etc.
Then there's this guy with a machine gun.
He's dabess
I hate him for that, guns are for skill lacking cowards.
Just because he uses guns doesn't mean he lacks skill, if anything it shows the exact opposite considering he can keep up with everyone.
+Cameron Livingston Wrong, anyone with two hands and a pair of eyes can shoot a gun, it takes skill to wield a sword.
+-discontinued- The same can be said for a sword. Anyone can pick it up and start slashing.

sis is elone. you'd have to play the game to understand
Don't bring a Tifa to a gun fight... :D
1:35 You are aware of what franchise you're in, right Laguna?
When he said that I was like "No Laguna, you're the odd one here".
If Dissidia ff is realistic, Laguna would be the strongerst character, and able to kill anyone.
Go, go, go!
The Man with a Machine Gun is one of the best battle themes overall.
And he is the only man with a Machine Gun in the entire game 😂 lol
I find it hard to believe that he's Squall's father, when he looks so young that to me it seems more likely at first impression that he might be instead Squall's brother.
