If you had the opportunity to be friends with a couple of characters from VIII and hang out with, who would it be? I'd pick Selphie, Zell and Squall.

Selphie - Very upbeat, sweet and always looking to have fun. The type of person you'd want to socialize with at a party IMO.

Zell - Can be a loose cannon at times, but nonetheless a loyal guy who'd have your back. Definitely somebody who could cheer you up if you're feeling down.

Squall - I'm talking Squall at the end of FF VIII. A loyal and caring friend who I'd want on my side if I were in some sort of trouble.
