One fateful day I was flipping through a thesaurus when I came across the word Retrospect. It really caught my attention. I liked how it sounded, and it seemed to denote something deep which also added to it's appeal.

I wanted to see if I could use it as a name for any of my upcoming sites, but I figured that would be impossible if I didn't know what it meant. So I looked it up in a dictionary: "Ret·ro·spect: To contemplate the past." Immediately I related it to Squall. What a perfect name for a Squall-related site! I had been wanting to make a Squall shrine for a while, and finding the perfect name gave me the push that I needed to get it started.

Play the game once and you'll see that Squall is a very emotional guy, almost always lost in thought. The person who he is throughout the duration of the game has been shaped entirely based on a few tragic events from when he was young. In order to stop himself from feeling the pain he felt then, he is always contemplating past events to prevent them from recurring. Squall is in constant retrospect of his devastating childhood.
