Squall Leonhart is the main playable protagonist of Final Fantasy VIII. Squall is 17 years old, although acts much beyond his age. He is one of few specialists in handling the Gunblade, a gun-sword hybrid weapon. He is often haunted by the painful memories of his past, but conceals them deep within, putting on a brave and taciturn face in his daily life. Squall's Limit Break, Renzokuken consists of a trigger bar whereby the player must press a button when a moving line hits a certain point in the bar. If done successfully, this will sometimes trigger a finishing move that can be quite devastating to the enemy.
