Skip Rinoa.

Whoa amazing what a google search turns up.

I'm the guy that found that glitch and made that video. What happens is that Rinoa still shows up in cutscenes and out of battle and stuff (and her name defaults to Rinoa so even though you dont get the chance to name her she is still called that).

However she will not be available as a party member and no matter what you do she will be unavailable in battle or in the menus.

When you reach the part in Deling city where you have to go through the sewers using only Rinoa she is automatically added into your party.

(hmm, just realised I may have resurrected a dead topic from a couple of months back. Sorry about that)

I would never do that trick/glitch to Rinoa I liked her I thought she was cool and as people have mentioned before needed for the storyline so I would'nt do it seemed kinda pointless to me

The glitch is kinda interesting to hear, but I can't say I'll ever really do it. I beat the game twice and have done alot of stuff, and just it's a long game to do, plus I use Rinoa in my team so I can't say I'd probably end up doing it. Anyways though funny glitch.

why would u ever wanna skip rinoa

Rinoa sucks.
If my FFVIII was working, I'd try this out.

I dislike her. She's boring and stupid. Yay for my opinion being different to most others.

I didn't particularly like Rinoa but she was a good character and don't see the point in skipping her.
If you don't like her just don't use her.

I would be the first to admit that this glitch isn't particularly helpful gameplay wise (and as I stated above it doesn't change or affect the storyline one bit so you can chill out about that )

The reason I did it is because it shows how to exploit clipping through npcs to skip parts of the game. It is very possible that something like this could be used in other parts of the game to get into different areas possibly skipping back or forwards through the game (very similar to the glitch in FFX that lets you go back to the Al Bhed home after defeating dark ifrit).

It may not be too useful for most people but could be used in speedruns to get very fast times if I can find some more areas to do this in.

I'm not really big on Rhinoa's character but I did use sometimes in my party. I don't want to F*ck up a game espsecialy a good one.

[Tidus_Blade]

without Rinoa later you would wish taht she's there and BTW she's like the second main character after Squall so loads of glitches will happen !

[Squall333]

I wouldn't want to skip Rinoa. Shes a cool character. I also use her in my party for a while after I get her. It would be just weird not having her to fight!

[MasterSquall]

for peace of my mind i completed the game with all characters level 100 all abilitis to max etc....so i dont want to skip Rinoa.......

Maybe you people didn't read my post earlier.

When you reach the part in Deling City when you have to go through the sewers using only Rinoa you get her back.

[MasterSquall]

actually i havent read that notice......sorry.......
