History Funny / FinalFantasyVIII

* When trying to find some good music for the dance, you can have each character play a certain instrument. So you can have Zell, [[BoisterousBruiser jhort-clad]], [[NoIndoorVoice Tyson-tattooed]] [[HotBlooded meathead supreme]] sit down and [[HiddenDepths play the harpsichord like he was born to.]]

--> '''Ellone:''' Right! Uncle Laguna and Raine are...
--> '''Laguna:''' Ahhh! Okay, enough talk about this!

** If you bring Selphie, she sits on his bed and tells him he should be honoured that a cute girl wants to be on his bed. What's even funnier is that you have the option to make Squall agree with her. If you do then she replies "Squall, you are so getting it."

* Later when he's being interrogated by [[spoiler:Seifer]], he demands Squall tell him "the true mission of [=SeeD=]." The player can choose to have Squall lie, in which case Squall bluffs and blurts out that the true mission of [=SeeD=] is... to grow flowers all around the world, putting him right into DeadpanSnarker territory.

* While it's possible to add amusement with any ''Final Fantasy'' game that allows you to rename the characters, this one offers an unusually entertaining possibility in that you can [spoiler:inject levity into the final boss battle]] by choosing to rename the lion on Squall's ring from the default of "Griever." [[spoiler:"I thought naming a ring was a bit stupid in my first playthrough and ended up fighting [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197343-final-fantasy-viii/54927936 "Tiddles."]]"]]

* During the raid, if you give the order for your comrades to come to you, He'll ask for Quitsis, Zell and Selphie to come to him. After all the orders are given, a short exchange between Irvine and Squall happens.

-->';'Squall:''' "Sorry about that."

-->''Squall:''' "Sorry about that."

* During the raid, if you give the order for your comrades to come to you, He'll ask for Quitsis, Zell and Selphie to come to him. After all the orders are given, Irvine says this:
-->'''Irvine:''' "Hey, hey hey, what's up? I'm not invited?"

-->''Squall'': "A speech...? Forget it. Cut the mic!"

* The scene involving Squall stealing a Galbadian train involves a determined Galbadian soldier running after the train so that he could try and reclaim it. He actually manages to keep up a bit before tripping, causing one of the other party members to comment about this feat.

* The sheer fact that when Rinoa forces the normally distant Squall to dance with her the first time they met. It's very clear he doesn't want to dance, complete with him trying to run away from it (at first). Squall's excuse for not wanting to dance? "ICantDance". Note that the brief cutscene before this implies Squall really did feel attracted to her at the time, and the joke "hypnosis" Rinoa did to convince him to like her (to convince him to dance with her) wasn't really needed, meaning the excuse may as well be genuine.

* Squall's first impression of Laguna (AKA his [[spoiler:father]]). In context, he tried approaching Julia the pianist, only to get his leg cramping up at the last moment out of sheer nervousness, much to his embarrassment. It's this fact, along with him getting even more nervous when Julia approached ''him'', that caused Squall to react to the scenes like this:
