The main character of FFVIII, Squall Leonheart is a very troubled young man. Brought up in Balamb Garden he dislikes getting close to people, feeling that they will always let him down. He rejects overtures of friendship, although the other characters wear him down throughout the game.

We are introduced to Squall at the very beginning of the game. He is also the character most often controlled by the player (although every single character must be controlled onscreen at one point in the game). He is a trained Gunblade specialist, the first one to become a member of SeeD. His constant fighting with Seifer has lead to Quistis, who always broke up their fights, feeling protective towards him and watching out for him. But is that the only reason?

During Squall's limit break, Renzokuken, he runs up the enemy and hits them repeatedly with his gunblade, sometimes ending with a randomly selected finishing move. The player must press R1 when the flashes of light moving across the bar at the bottom of the screen hit the trigger zone. At first he is only able to use one finishing move out of a possible four. He learns more as his weapon is upgraded, and it is possible to learn all four by skipping straight from his starting weapon to his final one. Squall's final limit break move, 'Lionheart' is prized by many players. It hits quite a few times, and since Squall's strength is usually very high at that point, it tends to be one of the better damage dealers in the game.
