Final Fantasy VIII

 

At the forefront of a rising tide of violence brought on by Galbadia's war declaration is a SeeD cadet named Squall Leonhart. Serious to a fault, Squall has earned himself the reputation of being a lone wolf.

A chance encounter with the free-spirited Rinoa Heartilly, however, turns his universe upside down, having thrived on discipline. Squall finds Rinoa's carefree attitude fascinating. Yet there is no time to ponder these thoughts, for the job of dealing with the sorceress behind Galbadia's irrational hostility has fallen to Seed and Squall.

At times, Squall is known to fall into a "dream-like" state. It is during these periods that he encounters Laguna.

What destiny awaits these two characters?

At what point does the story between the two cross?

Who is Laguna?

That is the prologue that is written in the manual that comes with the game. Did you understand it? Well, I'll explain the game in my own words, because I don't.....

To cut the story short, there's an evil sorceress (called Sorceress.....something or other) who wants to take over the world, and Squall and a few of his friends have to stop her. And then there's a twist in the plot, and you find out the sorceress isn't really evil, it's actually the spirit of another sorceress who is inhabiting her body, making her evil. And of course, that sorceress (Sorceress Adel) is the evil one who wants to take over the world, if not the universe.

 

More about SeeD

In his game, there is a world organisation called SeeD. This is like an army/school, like an army in the ways that they are assigned to missions and and hired to fight and so on, but like a school as most (if not all) the SeeDs are children or young adults, and they are taught tactics and stuff in classrooms.
