** The President's agitated behavior over the security also clues us in that {{spoiler|it's a ''decoy'', who hasn't quite acclimatised to his role, while a real dictator would be paranoid to the level that no amount of security is enough.}}
* Squall's dialog with Rinoa after freeing her from Esthar: "Even if you become the world's enemy, I will be your knight." Was anyone else reminded of Seifer's schtick throughout the entire game that he is the Sorceress' Knight? Squall and Seifer are more alike than either of them care to admit, and had things gone differently, Squall could have been in exactly the same position.
** The parallels between Squall and Seifer are pretty obvious and certainly intentional. It's more of a contrast than a direct similarity, though, since their approaches are very different - Seifer aspires to knighthood for its own sake (his "[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_:Romance (heroic_literature)heroic literature)|romantic]] dream") so Ultimecia is able to use his aspirations to manipulate him. Squall, meanwhile, has no such aspirations and assumes the role purely for love of and in order to protect Rinoa without caring about the imagery or trappings of the role.
* After getting the Ragnarok and rotating party members for some time, you'll notice that [[Only Sane Man|Quistis]] is actually ''third'' choice for Ragnarok pilot after [[Genki Girl|Selphie]] and [[Keet|Zell]]. Selphie's methods are [[Drives Like Crazy|arguable]], but if you went for the Deepsea Research Facility sidequest though, you'll see [[Genius Ditz|Zell's qualifications]] for yourself.
* Why did Headmaster Cid use Guardian Forces that can make people forget their early childhood? So when Squall and rest of the gang fight Sorceress Edea they won't remember the woman that took care of them in the Orphanage and they can fight at their fullest.
