Rinoa: Angelo | ||
![]() |
Angelo is Rinoa's pet dog and partner. She's part border collie, part german sheperd, and is two (?) years old. In-game, Angelo looks like this. So cute! (Yes, I've got a thing for dogs. ^^) You also get to the chance to give Angelo any name that you would like.. Angelo being the default name, of course. |

Oh, and a litte known fact - YES, Angelo is a girl. I guess Angelo isn't really a girl's name, but she is. I thought she was a boy too, until some scene in Disc 3 at the Lunar Gate, after Rinoa and Squall and whoever get blasted off to never-never land, and Angelo has a barking fit and runs away and Irvine refers to her as "she." This scene confused me to no end, because I didn't know who he was talking about.. ^^;; I finally thought about it and realized the obvious truth, Angelo's a girl. Anyway, switching over into game mode.. Angelo is one smart, strong dog. >:D She helps Rinoa perform her limit break, combine. When Rinoa uses combine, a trick Angelo knows is randomly selected and performed - but there are also some tricks that Angelo performs automatically during a battle. The tricks Angelo can learn you can get from the Pet Pals magazines. To have Angelo learn tricks, view Rinoa's status screen and select a trick, and then walk until you hear a little noise, indicating that Angelo has mastered her new skill. ^_^ Just make sure you change tricks in the Status screen after Angelo successfully completes one - of course you want her to learn as much as she can! Hmm, that's pretty much all.. I'll stop now, because I sound like one of Quistis's useless tutorials.. except cheesier. ^^;; Anyway, now for info about the tricks themselves. Oh yeah! Yes, some of the tricks in the table below are links, so by clicking on them you can see a sort of crappy animation of the move itself. (Sorry, they kinda suck.. O_O) |

Worried because you didn'r get a certain Pet Pals magazine? Never fear. >D Pet Pals Volumes 1, 2, 5, and 6 can be bought at the mall any time while you're in Esthar. 3 & 4 are available exclusively at the Timber Pet Shop. ^_^ I've had this idea for a while , but I've never actualy tried it so I don't know if it works ^^; Anyway, if you just happen to be playing FF8 right now, you could have Angelo only learn the moves you wanted her to use. So, say Angelo only learned Invincible Moon; almost every time you used Rinoa's limit break it would make your party invincible >) Do you realize how many headaches you could avoid with that? Once again, I don't know if it works, but.. Could be worth a try! And an interesting story about Angelo Search... While I was fighting Ultima Weapon Angelo came in and dug up an Occult Fan I :) No kidding! Angelo was like my timer in that fight, heh. If she came it meant I was doing good to get that far ;) Return: Rinoa |
