However, this isn't a damsel in distress moment because Rinoa actually goes willingly. The moment pictured above is shortly before Rinoa would have been blasted into space in a device designed to suppress her sorceress powers (it's a long story) and Squall rushed in to get her. I would've chosen a moment earlier in the game, when Rinoa is backed into a corner by two Iguions (half-iguana, half-lion monsters) and the main character Squall has to rush in and save her. That's the picture posted on the Tropes Versus Women Tumblr, although personally, I wouldn't have picked that one. ![]() Now, Final Fantasy VIII does feature a damsel in distress Rinoa, the love interest, pictured above. ![]() ![]() I wanted FFVIII to be added because if they did, in my opinion, it'd be a perfect example of the double standard that Feminist Frequency promotes when picking the games they want to catalogue.
