That being said, Yes I was born in Russia, lived there for quiet some years. Now living in Canada. I showed this to my Russian friends, and they found this funny. Being in a Final Fantasy game and everything.
(and yes, I have an accent, VB knows it.)
Now to the point of the thread.
I think Squaresoft were communist at the time when they made, FinalFantasy 8. As during the intro scene, with Squall fighting Seifer you see some good evidence that Squaresoft, was infact thinking about USSR.
To get more down to the bones of the evidence. When Squall gets hit in the face by Seifer's Hyperion Gunblade, his blood splatters on the ground. Look closely, Squall's blood when hitting the ground makes the Russian/USSR (CCCP) Communist Hammer and Sickle.

Really watch at 2:52 to 2:58, when Squall gets hit, his blood forums the Communist Hammer and Sickle
Here's a screenshot, incase you dont wanna watch the video. Its music, isnt that good.

His blood looks a lot like, the communist Hammer and Sickle eh?
Lets compare:

Heh, interesting. I got a good laugh out of this.
