Ultima Snake
Blue Mage
hmmm i see what you mean, but that was explaned after the start of the 2nd disc, all of a sudden his wound disapeared but i will admit that it makes a little bit of sence. Then again why would Rhinoa smile when she looked down after the area around Squall turned from a desert to flowers, why do that if he was not alive, then on the credits you see Rinoa and Squall on the balcony of Balamb Garden
