Back To Top
Name: Squall Leonhart
Age: 17
Height: 177cm (5'10")
Blood Type: AB
Birthday: 23/8
Weapon: Gunblade |
| Squall is a poker-faced, short-spoken man who carries a unique sword known as the "Gunblade."
As the name suggested, the weapon consists of a combination of Gunpower and Sword.
Squall is known to be quite lively and outspoken.
He's a bit of a loner (according to Square he has "little sense of comradeship for the people around him"),
and he wears a necklace that bares a strange griffon-like symbol (the same one that can be seen near the barrel on the Gunblade).
According to character designer Tetsuya Nomura, he wanted the characters name to have the meaning of a passing shower,
which is how he came up with the name Squall.
His last name, Leonhart, was the name of one of the main characters from an earlier 8-Bit Final Fantasy (for the Famicom) which never came to the United States.
This isn't the first time Square has brought back names from earlier games in the series. |

Rinoa Heartilly
Age: 17
Height: 163cm
Blood Type: ??
Birthday: 3/3
Weapon - Blaster Edge |
| Rinoa is a cheerful girl with an overwhelming amount of tenderness and unyielding spirt.
She too is very honest and has no problems speaking her mind and being very straitforward with others.
On the other hand though, she's a bit shy, so sometimes she has mixed or confused feelings.
Her weapon is a cool boomerang-like projectile called the Blaster Edge. |

Laguna Loire
Age: 27
Height: 181cm (5'11")
Blood Type: B
Birthday: 1/3
Weapon: Unknown |
| Unlike Squall, Laguna is a man of heart. He knows love and respects his duties.
According to Square, he's an optimistic and vigorous person who enjoys the confidence bestowed in him.
He's a former soldier who works as a journalist.
Apparently, Laguna and Squall, while both main characters, reside on different worlds.
How their paths will cross hasn't yet been revealed, but the idea of possibly playing with two entirely different characters from the outset is quite attractive.
According to Nomura-san, the inspiration for the name Laguna came from none other than Laguna Beach, Calif., as well as the powerful sword Ragnarok
(which, when broken down phonetically in Japanese sounds a bit like "la-gu-na-ro-k") |

Seifer Almasy
Age: 18
Height: 188cm
Blood Type: O
Birthday: 22/12
Weapon - Gunblade (?) |
| Seifer is the mysterious man who is apparently the leader of Squad B (the SeeD candidate squad in which Squall belongs).
Though he's talented, he's regarded as problematic because of his short-tempered attitude and Inability to properly follow orders.
Still, there's something dignified in his bearing that nobody else has.
Because he realizes Squall is gifted, he considers him to be his rival,
but could the two be linked in more ways than we've seen so far?
So You'll just have to wait and see what becomes of him when u play the game. |

Zell Dincht
Age: 17
Height: 168cm
Blood Type: B
Birthday: 17/3
Weapon - Glove |
| Zell joined Garden when he was 13 in order to train himself to be a great soldier like his grandfather,
who he admires very much. He's an honest fighter, and he's very straitforward; he fits inot the military stereotype perfectly.
He often loses his temper, but that doesn't seem to concern him very much.
An all-around honest man, Zell grew up in a wealthy family. Because of this, he lacks seriousness (this is all according to offical Square materials).
He's a quick and lethal fighter, and martial arts master. |
