Unlike Squall, Laguna is a man of heart. He knows love and respects his duties. According to Square, he's an optimistic and vigorous person who enjoys the confidence bestowed in him. Not much esle is known about him yet, but we do know that he's a former soldier who works as a journalist. Apparently, Laguna and Squall, while both main characters, reside on different worlds. How their paths will cross hasn't yet been revealed, but the idea of possibly playing with two entirely different characters from the outset is quite attractive. Whatever the case, we'll know more on this as it develops. According to Nomura-san, the inspiration for the name Languna came from none other than Laguna Beach, Calif., as well as the powerful sword Ragnarok (which, when broken down phonetically in Japanese sounds a bit like "la-gu-na-ro-k").
