Squall Leonhart/Opera Omnia

A SeeD cadet training to be a mercenary at Balamb Garden. He was a lone wolf, who shunned away others, until his encounter with Rinoa helped him gradually open up and ultimately embark on a journey to defeat the evil sorceress.

Description

Squall is a playable character in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia who can be recruited during the Lost Chapter A Lion's Heart.

ProfileEdit

AppearanceEdit

Squall wears a black leather bomber jacket over a white deep v-neck t-shirt that parts down the middle of his chest, black pants, and white fur trimming along the collar and top of his pants. He wears a Griever pendant and has a Griever belt buckle. A sash partially covers his right leg.

His alternate costume is the military-style SeeD uniform () he wore in Final Fantasy VIII during his graduation ceremony. It consists of a black jacket with gold trim fastened by a belt, black pants and knee-high black boots. The jacket's cuffs are red with silver shoulders connected by a chain across the chest.

PersonalityEdit

Squall's personality remains the same in his original incarnation: introverted lone-wolf type. When Seifer betrays Raijin and Fujin to become Ultimecia's guardian, Squall suggests them to join the team. When the party encounters Rinoa, Squall shows joy and expresses that he was concerned about her after arriving to the Torsions World.

StoryEdit

GameplayEdit

Squall has a wealth of multi-hit and AoE attacks that can break single foes or groups quicker than many others. For this reason alone, many players deploy him in situations where Item farming may be needed. When fully realized, he has the potential of becoming one of the more effective tank-killers in the entire party.

AllusionsEdit

• Squall seldom speaks aloud, preferring to mull over what he has heard via internal monologues before he responds to such. This trait is carried over from his original appearance.
• Squall's alternate skin is one of the few that shows him with a different weapon on its artwork (Revolver is replaced with the Cutting Trigger). This is likely a nod to most standard playthroughs of Final Fantasy VIII involving most players having the Cutting Trigger as their forged weapon for Squall during the time of him wearing his SeeD uniform to the inauguration party.
• The relative strengths of Squall’s weapons in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia are out-of-sequence with Final Fantasy VIII; the Cutting Trigger is the third revision of his gunblade, but occupies the 35 CP slot, where the Shear Trigger is the second revision and occupies the 70 CP slot. The 15 CP Twin Lance is actually the fifth model.
