Alright I actually found the page and the guys theory.

"...Hold on a minute. Did that cutscene just have actual character development?

There's a lot to say about this particular cutscene, and most of it is surprisingly good. I really like how despite being the son of Cecil, it's actually Ceodore and Kain that have a strong mentor/pupil relationship. It was Kain that taught Ceodore to survive, and who drove Ceodore to become a competent soldier. And though I'm sure this was unintentional, Golbez and Cecil didn't really give a shit when Kain talked to them, yet Ceodore listened intently because of their bond.

Once again, if this game had good writers, there could actually be something to this. Golbez might hate the sight of Kain as Kain is a reminder of what Golbez used to be, and perhaps how Golbez could never truly redeem himself for his wrongs the way Kain did. Cecil may harbor secret resentment for Kain, for the wrongs he did in the past, for his continued lust for Rosa, or maybe how Kain bonds with Ceodore more than Cecil ever could.

Another thing I have to give the game props for is actually being subtle about something. Ceodore didn't have any interest in following his father's footsteps. He focuses on speed, he's trained in the art of spears, and as the final piece of the puzzle..."
