"I have to redeem myself."
I wanna be a Cowboy baby
Ridin' at night 'cause I sleep all day
Cowboy baby
I can smell a pig from a mile away


Well yee-haw! Howdy partner, and welcome to my itty bitty Irvine Shrine. =^-^=. There are a few other shrines to this great FF8 character around, but not as many as there *should* be! I mean, who can't love Irvine? He's so cool!

There's a lot more to Irvine than a cowboy-hat-wearing-try-to-pick-up-anything-in-a-skirt sharpshooter he makes himself out to be. How's that? Well, as hard as it may seem, Irvine is a bit of a phony. He puts on airs and tries to be all tough and act like a "lone wolf", like he doesn't need anyone, but he's not like that all. Irvine gets scared by pressure, which is apparent when he has to assassinate Edea and he flips out. Even though he may seem shallow, there's a deep person under all that cowboy gear. ^^

Irvine comes from Galbadia Garden, the crap crap crappiest Garden ever. He is the only good thing to come out of there. The mean are mean, and the headmaster was a crank. No wonder Irvine's a bit screwed up. Blame the Garden. After all, he seemed just fine when he was a little kid!!

As an added note, I just love his last name. "Kinneas". It just flows so nicely, doesn't it? Irvine's a nice name as well. I enjoy it. ^_^

So, the bottom line is, besides being hot, Irvine's got a big heart and takes life pretty seriously. So don't think so little of him just because he's a womanizer! ...And besides, pimps are people too. ^_^


His Words


"Looks like I'm with you rubes from Balamb."
What's a rube? Well, I didn't know either, till I looked it up. Basically it's an unsophisticated person from the sticks. This from someone who dresses like a cowboy....
"Hey, hey, hey... Fellas... We're here to knock off the sorceress, right? So let's get down to business."
"I...I can't do it."
"I...I can't... I'm sorry, I can't do it. I always choke like this... I try to act all cool, joke around, but I just can't handle the pressure..."
"I can't, dammit!"
"...I'm sorry."
