The taciturn and reluctant hero. A cadet in SeeD, the special combat unit of the Balamb Garden Military Academy. His aloof and anti-social behavior makes himappear selfish and lacking a sense of team unity. Squall dislikes having others involved in his affairs and is best described as a lone wolf. He changes as the story progresses, as he starts to think about himself and falls in love with Rinoa.

Limit Breaks
Squall's limit break is Renzokuken, which means "Repeating Sword" or "Consecutive Sword" in Japanese. In this Limit, Squall will perform several Gunblade attacks, and they can be strengnthend if you press R1 at the right time, which is when the light enters the small box. Squall will ramdonly do finishing attacks, and their are four of them depending on what weapon you have. There isn't a lot of difference in the damage these attacks cause, except the Lionheart.

Rough Divide
Squall charges at a simgle enemy and performs a rising slash.

Fated Circle
After leaping into the air, Squall twirls his Gunblade and releases a shockwave of energy that hits all the enemies.

Blasting Zone
A column of light shoots out of Squall's Gunblade, which goes really high up. He brings it down and crushes his enemies.

Lion Heart
The ultimate move in any Final Fantasy game that has been created so far. Squall brings a single foe up in the air, and then unleashes a devastating flurry of attacks. Squall attacks the enemy a total of 18 times, plus the regular Renzokuken. This will kill most enemies, and even the final boss can be beaten with a few of these.
