Finally someone clarified it, I didn't get it until now. People kept saying Laguna was Squall's dad. But I'm like wtf how it doesn't say or actually reveal that fully in the game. I guess those facts do make it obvious, and the timelines do fit. I just didn't figure it out until now. Yeah I remember Kiros saying that it's a good thing you look like you're mother aboard Ragnarok.
NOW I understand. Krysta Blue Mage. I believe Laguna also said at one point that they should have a talk after al the timetraveling mess. I always asumed it was about him being his dad and all.

And yes, the game does hint at it, but for me personally, I would've liked it better if the characters, all of them, were just strangers that were connected to the events instead of, "oh we used to know each other, or how Laguna's supposedly Squall's father. I think it was enough for me when I found out both of them at some point knew the same Ellone and were connected that way.

Aspects of Nomura's first design can be seen in Squall's Kingdom Hearts appearances. Nomura doesn't remember why he created the scar across Squall's face, saying it was just "a spur of the moment. The scar was there before establishing the character's history, and Nomura left it to scenario writer Kazushige Nojima to work out how he obtained it, leading to the duel between Squall and Seifer in the game's intro.

The opening training session between Seifer and Squall was storyboarded and directed by Tetsuya Nomura who came up with the concept. It is based on Japanese tradition of "morning practice" for clubs; the scene has build-up where it looks like a battle, but it turns out to just be "morning practice," [10] and Squall and Seifer end up permanently scarring one another's faces.
