SquareSoft = Communist?! 56K!!!

Post by HotDog-Cart »

***Disclaimer: If this is breaking the rules in anyway, please inform me upon deletion or locking of the topic. I don't know who would be offended by this, as I was born in Russia, (as most of you may know) and I don't take offence to it. Also this thread is for a joke, and when I say "Communist", I dont mean it very seriously***

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.

Want proof? Checkout this youtube video.

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:

This is VERY coincidential, he was slashed and the slash made his blood fall like that. Anyway, one random scene shouldn't state if Squaresoft is communist or not :P.

Yes but you could say the symbol on his jacket also looks like the hammer and sickle.

Stop at 2:48 to get a good view of it.

Exactly what I was thinking. If anything that looks more like it that the blood.

It does look like the Hammer & Sickle, but one scene really couldn't prove if SquareSoft were communists or not.

Your right look at my rotated picture. The top is the hammer, the side is the sicke. The sickle looks more badass in seifers coat than on the official communist sign :p

Wow. I think they are.
