Squall Leonhart: Perbedaan antara revisi

▲{{nihongo|'''Squall Leonhart'''|スコール・レオンハート|Sukōru Reonhāto}} adalah tokoh utama [[JRPG|RPG]] [[Square Co., Ltd.|Squaresoft]] (sekarang [[Square Enix]]) ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]''. Ia didesain oleh [[Tetsuya Nomura]] dengan pengaruh besar yang datang dari sutradara game [[Yoshinori Kitase]]. Sebagai karakter utama dalam ''Final Fantasy VIII'', sebagian besar permainan dilihat dari perspektif Squall. [[Limit Break]] Squall adalah Renzokuken, yang mana merupakan satu rangkaian dari empat hingga delapan bacokan yang mendahului salah satu dari empat gerak penyelesaian.

▲Sebagai bagian dari desain Squall, Nomura menyertakan aksesori perak, dalam wujud cincin, kalung, dan senjata. Squall menyebut kalung singa dengan nama "Griever" sebagai simbol dari [[berani|keberaniannya]] pada plot permainan. Senjata Squall adalah [[gunblade]], sebuah [[pedang]] yang menggunakan komponen [[revolver]] dan mengirimkan getaran pada pedang jika dipicu. <ref name="ff8ult">{{cite book | year = 1999 | editor=Studio BentStuff | title=Final Fantasy VIII Ultimania | pages=43 | publisher = DigiCube/Square-Enix | language=Japanese | id = ISBN 4-925075-49-7}}</ref> . Senjata ini menawarkan cara baru kepada pemain untuk mengendalikan senjata pada pertempuran, dan Nomura merasakan senjata tersebut penampilanya aneh. Senjata Squall disebut dengan nama 'Revolver', yang bisa di upgrade pada ''Junk store''. Squall dan saingannya, [[Seifer Almasy]], adalah spesialis gunblade yang tampil di dalam permainan, beserta [[Laguna Loire]] yang menggunakannya dengan berani.

▲In ''Final Fantasy VIII'', Squall is known as a "lone wolf" by his peers because he never explains his feelings.<ref name="guidecite2" /> <ref> '''Rinoa:''' That's it! Just let out anything! Anything... We want you to talk to us a little more. That's all. Y'know, if there's anything you want to tell us, or anything we can do, don't hesitate to let us know. I know it's not easy, but I wish you would trust us and rely on us a little more. (''Final Fantasy VIII'') </ref> Even compared to the originally indifferent [[Cloud Strife]] of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', he comes off as cold to his allies. <ref> '''Rinoa:''' Don't you ever worry about or even think about the well-being of your comrades!? / '''Squall:''' (I don't believe in relying on others.) / '''Rinoa:''' Don't you understand!? / '''Squall:'''(...Whatever.) (''Final Fantasy VIII'') </ref> His superiors, such as his teacher, [[Quistis Trepe]], regard him as difficult to deal with but greatly respect his natural talents.<ref> '''Quistis:''' I guess I was right. You and Seifer are in a class of your own. You both have amazing strength and potential. (''Final Fantasy VIII'') </ref><ref> '''Quistis:''' Aren't there times when you want to share feelings with someone? / '''Squall:''' Everyone has to take care of themselves? I don't want to carry anyone's burden. (''Final Fantasy VIII'') </ref>. He is also known to be stoic in some situations.<ref> '''Quistis:''' You know, the boys often choke on this test when I come with them. I guess my charm makes them nervous. / '''Squall:'''(...Whatever.) (''Final Fantasy VIII'') </ref> His taciturn attitude is also used for [[comic relief]]. In the cutscene where he first meets Rinoa, she coerces him into dancing with her at the SeeD graduation ball.<ref> '''Rinoa:''' You're the best guy here. Dance with me? Let me guess... You'll only dance with someone you like. Ok then... Look into my eyes... You're-going-to-like-me... You're-going-to-like-me... Did it work? / '''Squall:''' ...I can't dance. / '''Rinoa:''' You'll be fine. (''Final Fantasy VIII'') </ref> He awkwardly bumps into other partygoers while staring constantly at his feet with a look of confusion. Rinoa, however, perseveres in partnering him, and Squall eventually reveals that he's quite capable of dancing, as it is a mandatory aspect of his training.<ref>'''Squall:''' Approach your target inconspicuously at a dance party... There may be missions requiring this sort of subterfuge. It's expected of SeeD to learn various skills. (''Final Fantasy VIII'') </ref>

▲Squall is unwillingly dragged into the role of the hero when [[Cid (Final Fantasy)#Final Fantasy VIII|Cid]], headmaster of Balamb Garden, appoints him as leader of the academy midway through the game.<ref> '''Headmaster Cid:''' Squall, we're under your command from now on. This is your fate. It is your destiny to lead the way in defeating the sorceress. / '''Squall:''' Don't talk about this like it's been decided since by birth! (I don't mind fighting the sorceress. It's unavoidable as long as I'm a SeeD member.) (What? AS long as I'm a SeeD member?) (What if I quit?) (Quit... Then what? What do I have left?) (Don't even want to think about it. Just stop thinking...) (''Final Fantasy VIII'') </ref> He is often thrown into a leadership role, as is evident in the Timber and Galbadia missions. During a late battle against Galbadia Garden, Squall demonstrates some leadership difficulties, which are tied to his lingering isolationism. <ref>'''Squall:''' (I've had it up to here with this leader thing... Alright, alright... I'll choose.) (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref> <ref>Headmaster Cid: Squall, I understand how you feel. But you are in a position of leadership. The other students at Garden have a right to know about the outcome of the battle and what's to come. Take whatever information you can get here, back to Garden. Remember, it wasn't just Rinoa. Everyone fought. (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref> Likewise, other characters have to make efforts to pull him out of his isolation, and Rinoa has to expend a lot of energy to pursue a romance with him. It takes considerable time for him to accept the others' offered friendship and fall in love with Rinoa and care for her.<ref> '''Squall:''' Pandora whatever and Sorceress Adel are out of my hands. I don't know where to look for Sis. The only thing I know is Rinoa. The only thing I want to do for sure right now is for Rinoa. We're going to get Rinoa back! (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref> As time progresses, he grows more comfortable with the leadership role, especially when it comes time to defeat Ultimecia, the antagonist.<ref> '''Squall:''' I don't know what's going on. But since we're still here, I think we still have some time to finish our job. / '''Quistis:''' What are we going to do, Squall? / '''Squall:''' We'll divide into two parties. (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref>

▲Throughout the game, he has a distinct rivalry with [[Seifer Almasy]]. The opening sequence depicts the duel in which Squall obtained his characteristic facial scar (and subsequently gave an almost identical one to Seifer, Squall's starts above his right eye and goes to his left cheek; Seifer's goes from left to right) and scenes in which Squall and Seifer are supposed to be cooperating are characterized by squabbles between the two cadets. <ref>'''Seifer:''' Yeah, yeah... (to Squall: Well then, Squall. Go see what's going on outside. / '''Squall:''' ......Ok. / '''Seifer:''' Good. Because it's MY order. (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref> Later, Seifer seemily allies himself with the Sorceress, requiring Squall to battle him several times. Nevertheless, despite their conflict, Squall still feels an underlying comraderie for Seifer, and mourns him in his own way when he believes Seifer to have been executed after an attempted kidnapping of Galbadian President Vinzer Deling. <ref>'''Squall:''' (I liked him... wasn't really a bad guy... He was one of us...) (Seifer... You've just become just a memory.) (Will they... Will they talk about me this way if I die, too?) (Squall was this and that. Using past tense, saying whatever they want?) (So this is what death is all about...) (...Not for me.) (I won't have it!!!) (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref>

▲According to flashbacks in the game, Squall grew up in an [[orphanage]], along with many of the other main characters such as Zell, Seifer, Selphie, Irvine and Quistis. Though he remembers little of this past, it causes him to develop into an emotionally detached, highly cynical and introverted boy (his original goal is to go through life without any emotional links or dependencies). <ref>'''Squall:''' (I don't believe in relying on others.) (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref> However, Squall gradually warms as the game progresses, and it is later revealed that his deliberate detachment from his companions is a defensive mechanism to protect himself from emotional pain, like he experienced when his older sister figure at the orphanage, one of the sole emotional supports in his early life, was forcibly separated from him. <ref>'''Young Squall:''' ...Sis... I'm...all alone. But I'm doing my best... I'll be ok without you, Sis. I'll be able to take care of myself. (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref> <ref>'''Squall:''' (I wonder what everyone's doing...?) (They're probably laughing at me. Or maybe they're angry...?) What do you think? To tell you the truth... I worry too much about what others think of me. I hate that side of me... That's why I didn't want anyone to get to know me. I wanted to hide that side of myself. I hate it. Squall is an unfriendly, introverted guy. It made it easy for me when people perceived me that way. That's a secret between you and me. Got that? (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref>

▲Upon defeating Ultimecia, as his comrades are pulled back from time compression into their own respective places in the timeline, Squall takes a detour back to the orphanage, where he encounters a younger Edea. Since she does not want to involve any of the children, Edea ends up absorbing the dying Ultimecia's powers as part of the cycle of sorceresses (a sorceress must pass on her powers to a successor before she is allowed to die peacefully), and wonders aloud about endings and beginnings (dialogue mirroring words to Squall years later, on Disc 3). <ref>'''Edea:''' It's ok. There's no need to fight. That sorceress is just looking for someone to pass her power on to. In order to die in peace, a sorceress must free of all her powers. I know... for I am one, too. I shall take over that sorceress' powers. I do not want one of the children to become one. (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref> Squall plants the ideas for Garden and SeeD in her mind, creating an in-game loop in which he must become the leader of Balamb Garden so that he can make it to this point again. <ref>'''Edea:''' SeeD? Garden? / '''Squall:''' Both Garden and SeeD were your ideas. Garden trains SeeDs. SeeDs are trained to defeat the sorceress. / '''Edea:''' What are you saying? You're... that boy from the future? (''Final Fantasy VIII'')</ref>
