      Y’all really need to stop calling teenagers incels. Squall isn’t an incel, he’s a emo with amnesia and a tragic backstory literally getting hit on by his hot, whip using teacher in Child Soldier School.

        Even compared to his peers, squall is unable to communicate with others. He’s worse off than everyone else in his school and requires special attention from teachers just to make sure that he’s doing okay. He lashes out when his emotions get to be too much with violent rage. He’s completely unable to understand rinoh until she pushes him so far out of his comfort zone that he actually has to grow up.

        He’s an incel

      If you can heavily associate to a character that easily then there are several good FF titles for this, such as FFX where the male lead hooks up with a human sacrifice then fights god and it’s sequel FFX-2 where the female lead spends the entire game searching for your ghost but that ending can only be unlocked with a perfectly timed input in the Far Planes section.
