Your recollection of VIII is better then mine, once you mentioned those parts I definitely remembered. Squall's "whining" is due to low self esteem. He doesn't think he is good enough. Definitely a character trait that he and Cloud share.

I don't really see how the two of them can be compared, but I understand your take on it.
