Hi! Thank you for stopping by.
I'm Riona (not Rinoa), and I'm the creator of this website. As the ruler of this tiny corner of the Internet, I've set myself up in the headmaster's office. Don't tell Cid.
Be aware that this is a personal website, so it's going to be influenced by my opinions and preferences! I'm not trying to create a definitive digital version of Balamb Garden; I just wanted somewhere to put all my thoughts on Final Fantasy VIII, and styling it after Balamb Garden seemed like fun.
- Wait. Your name is Riona? That's confusing.
- Why did you decide to create a personal Final Fantasy VIII website in 2024? That's not exactly timely, on several different levels.
- This site's existed for over a year now, right? Do you have anything to say about the anniversary?
- Do you have any low-quality photos of yourself in a bad Squall costume from when you were younger?
- I'll take the elevator up to the bridge and fly somewhere else.
- Whoops, I came too far up. I was trying to get to the second floor.
- I'm going to head back down to the entrance hall.
