Ball Room Cut Scene

[blackstar]

I think the ball room dance scene in ff8 is the greatest animated scene in a game of all time. There is so much emotion shown but with no words it doesnt need them adding words would be a travisty.I remember the first time I saw it, it is the first game scene I acctually remember taking note of and likeing to so much It looks soo amazing what does every one else think?

 

[John Smith]

Yes, that scene is a big pile of great animation and work, but don't forget about the last cutscene. You know, the ending scene. That one has much more people, is much longer, has much more images, locations, memories, art, etc...

 

[Squall Lionheart]

The first time I saw Rinoa is a memory I'll never forget...I wasn't expecting anything intresting to happen at the graduation night...

 

[dappa]

yeah it was nice to watch

 

[CiD]

Hehe its nice but the part where it is more emotion is when Squall rushes in and saves Rinoa in Ehstar. I was so thrilled then.

 

[blackstar]

I beleive I can sum up what we are all thinking. FF8s' cut scene's kicked ass!!!

 

[Doctor]

^They kicked ass indeed. My favorite cutscene was, actually, the hilarious scene filmed by Selphie & Irvine during the end. And when Rinoa and Squall kissed..Heh, that really surprised me. XDDD

 

[ultimecia]

i agree with blackstar the ballroom dance scene was really breath taking how they did it

 

[Rupert]

i just really enjoyed the music =D

 

[jedi geoff]

it was funny how awkward it all was...
and how squall kept bumping into people, it just made you smile

 

[blackstar]

And after going to my first dance I laugh even harder.

 

[theDOCTOR]

i cried at the ending!
and the dance seen was AWESOME!
i wish my school dances could be like that!

 

[I'm all lol'd out.]

FF8 was pretty awesome with it's whole love storyling. The scenes were amazing between Squall and Rinoa, all 45094 of them. ;P

It's definantly cool how Rinoa changed him into a not-too-lone-wolf kind of guy - which happens a lot with movies, and whatever.

Anyways, yes, agreed.. the ballroom scene was great.

 

[theDOCTOR]

"...whatever"-Squall

EMO!

 

[My hero Squall]

It's definantly cool how Rinoa changed him into a not-too-lone-wolf kind of guy - which happens a lot with movies, and whatever.

Anyways, yes, agreed.. the ballroom scene was great.

Yeah the ballroom scene was one of my favourites, I'd always save just before it and watch it and then advance in the game without saving so that the next time I played I could watch it again lol!

See how FFVIII and FFVII are linked, coz Cloud was known as the lone wolf and so was Squall! hehe

 

[Slider]

yeh but u could see what squall was thinkin all the time (unlike cloud) which made a HUGE improvement throught the whole storyline of 8 over 7

Yes, that scene is a big pile of great animation and work, but don't forget about the last cutscene. You know, the ending scene. That one has much more people, is much longer, has much more images, locations, memories, art, etc...

Agreed.

And, I don't think it was needed to see Cloud thoughts... you could wonder what he was thinking by his moves/expressions... which was also good. Squall was somehow less expressive in that way...

I'm not that big on FFVIII, but I gotta admit, normal ballroom dancing and the great score ("Waltz for the Moon," IIRC) really makes it memorable, probably moreso than some of the other scenes. It's one of those times when the kinda stiff tone of the game really helps accentuate the formality of the situation.
