** Hot for student variation: Quistis for Squall, though in her defense, they're only a year apart in age {{spoiler|and apparently grew up together, though neither of them remembers it anymore.}} Squall comments on the awkwardness of it fairly early in the game, and Quistis eventually says that her crush on him was actually misdirected sisterly affection, although how honest she's being about that is subject to interpretation.
* [[Technicolor Death]]: Following series tradition, the [[Final Boss]] goes out like this.
