On the thing about Squalls family, I've played FFVIII like 5 or 6 times and it wasn't until like the last time I played that I found that out, probably cause actually talking to people is one of the things I hate about RPG's.
And I have 100% on FFX-2 so yeah I figured that out as well.
One thing that I didn't pick up on until the last time I played Legend of Dragoon was in the final cinema, Dart goes to a house and then there is a glass with ice in it. I thought it was a waste and didn't even pay attention to it, when I figured it out, it was really sad. During the carnival at the trading town on the first disc, Lavitz tells Dart not to ignore a good thing just because it has always been there, or something like that (He was referring to Shanna). And then said he would take a couple of drinks as payment for this advice when everything was over. He of course is killed not long after that. The CG was Dart going back to Lavitz mom's house and leaving him the drinks. Looking back, that was unquestionably the BEST written part of the game.
