I know! I rather admired Rinoa. True she didn't always have the details worked out, but she was passionate about what she did, and determined to work hard to accomplish it.

I found her to be a good balance of everything in a girl her age. Anyone who hates her pretty much has to hate every average girl with affection towards more than one person.


I did too! She wasn't overly bouncy, nor was she emo all the time. She was a fairly balanced mix- just because she was cheerful and a bit immature at times is no reason to dislike her. Rinoa is very young, and she is grouped with members of Seed and Garden who have all had extensive training and discipline. It's no wonder she sticks out! But her attitude is very refreshing for the group, and I really enjoyed her over all.

Other people I know who've played FFVIII all hate Rinoa, so when I first played the game, I actually looked for reasons to hate her, thinking she'd do nothing but irritate me, and couldn't find any.


I didn't know about all the hate towards her until I started playing and started looking for art of her. I was quite surprised to find she was so disliked. I can't help but wonder if it's the same reason a lot of people hate Aerith- for being cheerful and sweet instead of all emo-y like Tifa is. *shrugs*

I still don't see the reason for all the hate towards her.  She wasn't overly girly enough to be annoying as hell like Rikku and she wasn't all emo.  I found her to be a good balance of everything in a girl her age.  Anyone who hates her pretty much has to hate every average girl with affection towards more than one person. :blink:

I think this is the only time I'm actually standing up for that type of femininity. :lol:

I really agree with that. I mean, quite honestly, I know a lot of people find her annoying, but people/teenagers are often annoying--a.k.a. Rinoa is flawed. She's not perfect, but she doesn't wallow in her self-pity nor is she ~OMG LIFE IS GOOD FOR EVERYBODY SUNSHINE~.

I really don't get how people can claim that she's "annoying" in-game and "too perfect" at the same time. :ermm:

You can say the exact same things about Aerith, and her criticizers make the same asinine claims as well. I guess that is why I like Rinoa. She reminds me a lot of Aerith. :D

I LOVE Rinoa.

I will never understand the bashing on her either.

Rinoa just was sweet and outgoing, much like Aerith from 7. Not only this she slowly helped Squall open up from his shell. I love Rinoa, she was a girl in a very bad situation and though she broke down she was realistic about it and still tried even with the odds against her.

So anyone else seen the other costume ideas for her in fanart?

I'd love to join of course
