[Video Soundtrack] Love Grows [FINAL FANTASY VIII]

[@001da8]

「話を聞いてくれるだけでいい」と言ったキスティスに「壁に向かって話してろよ」と言い放っていたスコールが 意識のないリノアに向かって心情を吐露しているのが印象的 FF8のキャラクターはみんな10代らしくみんな悩んで迷って成長していく描写がとてもいい

[@Zelink108]

What’s more is that when he is talking to the unconscious Rinoa and she obviously isn’t responding, he says that it feels like “talking to a wall”, you can almost feel the karmic bitchslap there.

スコールが昏睡状態のリノアに歩きながら話しかけるのは、今作屈指の名シーンだと思う クールなスコールも年相応なんだって分かる FF8は登場人物の青さが良い

[@user.kit.en.]

当時の制作スタッフは当然大人だったのでしょうけど、この作品は10代の少年少女の葛藤や心情を本当にうまく描写してますよね。 このスコールの独白シーンは当時10代の少年だった私にぶっ刺さりました。

Japanese high teen romances feel so much more genuine and touching than American ones imo 😂

[@Zelink108]

@@lllool8404 Couldn’t have said it better myself. Though IX’s love story with Zidane and Garnet was pretty weak and disappointing.

​@@Zelink108 I loved zidanes and garnets romance

[@Zelink108]

@@xel0710 I didn’t, Garnet selfishly drugging and abandoning him at the end of Disk 1 Lindblum to run back to her psycho mom like an idiot ruins the romance and makes the whole beginning of the game completely pointless, she even has the galls to say that she doesn’t care about him and that “it was his fault” during it.

Final Fantasy IX might be the best Final Fantasy overall in terms in excelling in every field, gameplay, story, atmosphere, secrets to uncover, sidestuff to do and so on. But the one point where it is surpassed is the amazingly well done cinematic presentation of Final Fantasy VIII that touches every heartstring just so damn well. The composure of what we get to see on screen, the camera angles, the music that accompanies it plus this amazingly intriguing story.....that's the point where even FF IX has found its master. Still, both pretty much are the absolute apex of the franchise.

[@lllool8404]

This redition of Eyes on Me is beyond beautiful. Mesmerizing.

[@blackduck3343]

「スコールがDISC3から唐突にリノアリノアと言い出すように豹変した」って言う意見があるけど、リノアと出会って少しずつスコールの心境が変化しているのは描写されてたし、話が出来なくなってから急に相手への想いが溢れてくるなんてこともよくあること

[@Zelink108]

Yep, it’s still a better done love story than Zidane and Garnet’s from FFIX.

[@LD-15-]

これが分からない人って精神的に大人になってないのかなって思う 大人になる過程で失ってから分かることとか、色々あるのにね。

[@ff710kh]

当時プレイしていて、このシーンも含めてスコールに対してお前は俺か？って何度も思った。 10代の心情や葛藤がリアルすぎる。

[@PuzzlesTheCat]

Still the best Final Fantasy emotionally and musically. The depictions of the kids growing up in a world that functions on violence for profit and the eternal damage it creates is fantastic. Watching Squall very slowly break out of his emotional incarceration from being shown care, love, attention, affection, and acceptance for who he is instead of what he does is beautiful. These songs still hit me so hard.

[@BB-te8tc]

Aesthetically, too. That scene where he's crossing the seemingly endless Horizon Bridge is breathtakingly beautiful.

[@Kわたぼう]

音楽といいシーンといいこの曲は最高だ！

[@FirithPanda]

Like father, like son - feeling alone but unable to truly speak up to the one they want the most. Laguna found warmth and love in someone who truly cared for him while Squall went the extra mile to care for someone else who loved him just the same.

[@BB-te8tc]

That's really profound. They portray communication issues in two totally different ways between the two characters, too (Laguna is frequently shown to be bad with words, whereas Squall just doesn't talk much)

[@FM_017]

作中で一番好きでよく聞き直していたので、こうして本編映像も見ることが出来て本当に本当に嬉しいです。タイトルが天才のそれ。(俺…変わったな)と思うスコールに愛を見ます。Disc3好きだ〜

スコールの独白のテーマだと思ったまま二周目やったら、ラグナとジュリアのシーンでも流れてて驚いた記憶

[@biancaarmstrong5097]

Even though 8 is not my favorite in the series, this song is beautiful. Love grows in many ways.❤

[@robertpeterson7978]

As I have said many times and in many places, simply put, this is the most beautiful song in all of Final Fantasy, and perhaps all of musicdom!!!

[@vilegurad]

1:12「Eyes On Me」なんだよね～

This is so good.

Damn that Sergeant to hell for what he did to Laguna, and by extension Julia... yet what happened had to happen or there woulda been no Rinoa...

Como da vueltas la vida, Laguna y Squall como Julia y Rinoa, una canción que da tanto

ジュリアとラグナ　ふたりは結ばれず 十数年後にジュリアの娘とラグナの息子が出逢うとか ラグナとスコールが初めて顔をわせた時もかなりドライな二人だったよなぁ
