The BEST Final Fantasy Ending | FIN PLAYS: Final Fantasy 8 (PS1) - Part 12
3After revisiting the ending of FF8 here, and thinking on it months later I can only come to the conclusion that this is the best ending of any FInal Fantasy game, and for me personally the best ending in any game I've ever played. So much of it gives me literal goosebumps to this day.
For my own explanation of why this game's story and ending are incredibly clever, scroll to the bottom of the description!

ENDING EXPLANATION:
The entire game was setup just for that final Scene with Squall, Edea, and child Squall.
Ellone and others tell Squall that once time compression has ended, when its time for them to leave, that its SUPER IMPORTANT they all concentrate on the same place/time and each other.
Squall doesn't do this. He ends up in the past when sorceress Ultimecia meets Edea and passes her power on to Edea.
He only ends up there because his trauma and fear of being left alone has him constantly trapped in his own head, and in the past.
This fear comes from his sister Ellone being taken away to be kept safe from Sorceress Adel. He had no idea why she was taken or where.
Him going to the past then results in a chicken & egg time paradox. He tells Edea about SeeD and Garden, who at this point in the past had no idea what SeeD was.
Who started the idea of SeeD? Squall or Edea?
The entire game and every plot thread is predicated on Squall's childhood trauma and its entirely necessary for literally every game event to happen.
