A Misterious Girl...

Wake Up In Balamb Garden's Infirmary

Who Is She ???
Kadowaki Sensei ask's you if you are Okay ???

>Yes

>Feel Terrible

Through some occasions, Squall will be given some questions. You have to answer them by choosing one from the options. Whether this can affect the storyline or not is yet to be found.
She Asks Your Name.

Default = Squall.

Character Profile #1

Name : Squall Leonhart

Age : 18

Sex : Male

Blood Type : Unknown

Weapon : Gunblade

Special Attack : Consecutive Blade Strikes

Personality :

A lone wolf. Student of Balamb Garden and about to graduate as a SeeD member IF he can pass the exam. His personality is really something since he has an interesting phylosophy that everyone are responsible for their own business. "Everyone has to carry his own burden." he says. Why he's saying that? You'll find out later.

She Asks Your Advisors Name.

Default = Quistis

Chaacter Profile #2

Name : Quistis Trepe

Age : 18

Sex : Female

Blood Type : Unknown

Weapon : Whip

Special Attack : Blue Magic

Personality :

Squall's Advisor. Aparently She Is The "onee-sama" (Older Woman) In The Game Although Her Age is the Same As Squall's. As A Garden Teacher Quistis Is Infamous Among Her Students... There Is A "Fan Club" For Her. However This Effects Her Reputation And The Ethic Commitee Does Not Like Good Relations Between Quistis And Her Students...Anyway Quistis Is A Good Teacher But Seems To Be Caring Too Much For Her Students... Especially Squall.

Quistis Come To Visit . Leaving Infirmary.  
You Can't Run Now. Keep Walking. Apparently You Can;t Run All The Time. Sometime Your Moves Are Limited Only To WALKING, Especially When You Are Not Supposed To Run In Certain Places (Like The Cafetaria...Now Thats Manners).
FMV : Balamb Garden.

Classroom : Talk About Upcoming SeeD Exam

 
Get Control Of Squall A Good Chance To Familarize Your Interface. Notice That You will Only Have One Command At The Battle Menu : Attack
Check Squall's Desk.

Access Balamb Garden Network.

Choose Tutorial.

Acquire Guardian Force(G.F) = Quetzalcoatl

Acqiure G.F. = Shiva

 
Check Other Options Balamb Garden Network doesn't have much, but it can give you some amusing features. This network is somehow similar to our real time network and that means you can see the "chat" (no, you can't submit anything but it's still fun to "see" the student's conversation. Later in the game, the network contains some side story plot Things.
Leave The Network  
Equip Your G.F.

Optomize Your Settings.

Setup Your Battle Menu.

Party And Menu Abilities.

Main System #1 : Junction

Now you'll have to learn about junction. Basicly junction is the same as "equip" but it can customize everything about your CHACTERS.

First, Equip Squall With A G.F. Now You can equip some Magic To Your Parameters. which Ones You Can Equip Depend on The Guardian Forces Abilites.

After You Equip A G.F. You Have A Option To Optomize Your Settings (Attack, Magic, Defence).

Now About Command Abilities. These Are The Ones You Use In Battles. At This Point You Only Have Magic, Draw, And Item.Set Them Up In Your Battle Window.

Notice The Little Box On The Left ??? It Is For Character Or Party Abilities. You Get Two Vacant Slots For Equiping A Guardian Force ( No It Is Not Cumulative. Equiping Ten G.F.'s Still Give You Only Two Slots). Later In The Game, There Are G.F.'s That Give You Three Slots, And Eventually Four.

About The SeeD Exam Requirements. Squall Has To Accomplish A Small task In The Fire Cave.
He Gives You Seven Cards. Mini Game : Card Battle

First Cards You Get. They Are Not Fancy Enough But It Is Better Than Nothing. How Do We Play The Game ???

As We Already Knew, There Are Many Non-Player Characters(NPC's) In An Role-Playing Game(RPG). Many Give You Information But Most Of Them Do "Nothing"...

Squaresoft Give's An Important Role To These NPC's. If You Talk To Them Using The [square] Button, They Will Reply with A Card Battle.

Aside From It's Roll As A Mini Game, Does A Card Battle Do Any Good For You??? Yes You Have To Do Card Battle In The Game Anyways.

Quetzalcoatl ability "Card change" allows you to change a card into items. Rare cards yield rare items. Rare items are needed to create best magics, best weapons, etc.

In Squall's Room Change Your Clothes To The SeeD Uniform. Now Squall's Ready For The Party.

Notes:

As for Squall who is now a SeeD member, you'll get your "salary". The amount of the money depends on your SeeD level. This leads to a question: What should I do to raise it? SeeD level can be acquired from special operations or taking the test on your tutorial menu. There are 30 levels in the test but you can only take up to Squall's level (i.e. Squall level is 5 then your test limit is five). Each level contains 10 questions and all must be answered correctly.

It will be stored in your inventory as an item, but actually you can use it to summon Diabolos TO FIGHT YOU. If you beat it you'll get his power but don't use the magic lamp without saving your data first!
