Psychic Warden?

MJN SEIFER · 09-07-2009, 12:16 AM

I just did the prison stuff (my least favorite part of an otherwise brilliant game), and there's this part where the Warden appears to actually read Squall's mind.

I can't remember the words now, but he asks Squall what SeeD is, and Squall thinks to himself what SeeD is (it's in a transparent boarder which means it is Squall's thoughts) and then the Warden goes "Yeah, so?" - he read Squall's mind! Or is this a mistake (probably, because there isn't much point interogating someone if you're psychic

).

Thoughts?

I'm thinking it was just a mistake I can't think why Square would give a psychic ability to a minor character that would be forgotten about.

It's just a joke, like breaking the fourth wall.

I suppose it could be either of those thanks guys.

I wondered if someone would chose the joke option

I'm pleased one did.

While Squall is busy thinking he's not responding to the warden's question. The warden is eager to get an answer so says "Hm? Yeah, so!?" in an effort to encourage an answer out of Squall. That's my take on the exchange.

That sounds pretty plausable. Thanks.

The torturing device is a mind-reading machine.
Squall´s thoughts are read on the tv set.

I'd say it was nothing more than a mistake on the part of Square. I also didn't like the Prison part of FFVIII there was something very boring or long winded about it!
