Squall is kind of a character that has different views to see. Some people see him as a anti-social, introverted guy, while other's see him as a lone-wolf, that is being thorn apart from his past feelings. Squall show both these sides, and both of them are kind of true in similar way's, yet some of them can be called unsure.

Unlike most of the characters, Squall shows more of what a adult needs to be rather then the teenager he really is. Many accept the fact he is the opposite of Rinoa, going more in the way towards Cloud. Yet Tetsuya Nomura thought this would kind of look awkward that two characters would be the same. The change in Squall towards Cloud is that he opens up when something draws his attention or when he is dissapointed or angry.

Squall didn't mourn for people that die, he kinda worries 'bout it that people talk in the 'past' sence, scared they wouldn't be talking 'bout him. This is mostly his way of expressing his feelings of coming wide open and screaming out. This interact draws people further away from him, yet they do hold their believe in him. The death of Seifer didn't upset him, infact Squall was kinda glad he died or isn't? This is just a typical situation that you can't get a clear view of what Squall is thinking at that point.

To have a greater view of Squall, you must try thinking you are him. This is rather a difficult doing, but it seems that after he knows that Seifer is death, he is both upset, dissapointed as the opposite of these words. Seifer was to Squall a symbol of power, he may seem to disconnect himself from Seifer's opposite personality, yet he learned a lot by him. This makes Squall stronger in a word that he learns to deal with death, life, loses and love. Fighting with Seifer, gives him the upportunity to learn from his failures, to become more stronger, yet more closer to his own feelings and desires.

Tetsuya Nomura made Squall so closed that he had to make the heroine opener. Rinoa's personality had to be the total opposite of Squall, clear with her feelings, caring for other people and mostly be friendly and understanding. These are all the things Squall doesn't have, yet Rinoa was also created to give some of her personality over to Squall, learn him to express his feelings. Although, it seemed so that Squall would have been created like Cloud to become more opener whenever Rinoa was there.

This makes up the fact that both Squall and Rinoa were created like the personality of both Cloud and Tifa, yet their love relationship were different then Squall and Rinoa's. FFVIII has some interactions that relate Cloud and Squall to one another. This isn't been told a lot, neither have people figured out the meaning behind words they do tell in the game, to find out that they mean the same to one another, yet just in a different kind of sentence.

Different then this, seem that people do talk 'bout Squall like he is someone that really lives. It feels like he is real, as people know him so well and know how he feels or for some that relates them to him, yet whatever you want or believe in, Squall is fantasy, he lives in a fantasy world, a world where there can happen all sorts of things that can mishappen here. This is a place where age, personality doesn't matter, the only thing that may be important is the time-line. Why, well you are never to young nor to old to do something, yet it is sometimes stated in the game by Rinoa that Squall is a teenager, yet he acts more as an adult.

Fantasy allows that thing called True Love, yet if people believe it is fantasy, it is stated in our time aswell. People that fall in love when they are young, marrying at a proper age and dying together. This may be called True Love, just you do not see this to often, because their always happens something that would break it apart, what never happens in a fantasy story, you can make the spin that breaking apart doesn't exist.

This is the same for his personality, will, feelings, skills, they are unusually to see, yet they do exist in our world. Nobody is perfect, perfect lies each day, therefore if someone is perfect don't go near. Squall knows he isn't perfect, he just doesn't wanna come close into the light, staying aside into the darkness he is used to be in. This warm feelings towards colours, mostly the red and black colours, which are also stated in his star sign, gives us a view of how his personality should be. 

As the game progresses, Squall feels the soft touch the light can give him, he tries to explore it, yet he beholds his feelings to the dark. I am not talking 'bout evil and good, but the feeling he shows us that he is infact a closed book. Rinoa as we know is the opposite, there she can be seen as the open book. To become perfect for each other, they have to step forward. Rinoa completed her promise to help Squall to see that what he was doing is wrong, that expressing his feelings are a good thing. It's been a hard lesson for Squall, because he is scared to combining himself to others and then to feel that hurt of loneliness again. Yet, because he learned Rinoa to become more a closed book, they understanded each other more because they are on the same line. Squall eventually gives in to her.

Squall can be seen as some sort of a symbol of loyalty, he has a personality, feelings that can't compete neither can exist in such a world like ours, yet they are seen apart from each other. This is mostly what Tetsuya Nomura would wanted to have in this game, two opposites attracted to each other by their different point of views, this isn't something that is seen here, just only in a fantasy world like theirs. Square-Enix made this game to show how great love can be in fantasy, so if they would break apart what was the cause of the game then?

A thing I want you to remember by, what I've mostly explained in the SeeD section is the fact that Squall and Rinoa can be seen as the Yin-Yang symbol. This may seem awkward, but let me tell it like this. Squall can be seen as the dark side of this symbol, with the light side in it conflicting his feelings deep in his heart. Rinoa is the lively spirited heroine of the girl, the open book or the light side of Yin-Yang. The black or the light side in each of them sepresents the feelings, abilities they have shared for one another, making them have a true love relationship. Yet, for this Squall becomes more intertwined with is feelings towards peoples and becomes more open, yet he beholds his other personality towards strangers.
