Just for the sake of having fun, define the meaning of the acronym SeeD.
I don't think it's an acronym. SeeD is SeeD.
It isn't an acronym it's double pun. They a raised in a "garden" (You plant seeds in a garden) and Seed and Cid are pronounced similar in the orginal Japan version (we of course wouldn't get this joke).
I know it's not an acronym, but if it was one, what would it be?
The funniest one wins a USERNOTE!
Shi-Do?
Once you pass a certain prerequisite in the game (I think it's after you beat NORG and after you talk to Cid, or it might be later) and go to the Tutorial menu, pick Information, Term, then The truth about the Garden, it will tell you:
So when Squall is enduring torture and you choose 'I'll lie... I must... live' what he says about spreading seeds over the world is marginally true, although he doesn't know it at that point!Quote:

I know, I've beaten the game trice about two years ago. I know that they're seeds and so forth, but it does look like a hell of an acronym. Just read the post.Quote:

Good point. Perhaps it made more sense in Japanese... :p

Seriously, that could be close if it were an acronym
Strangly entertaining energetic dancing
SeeD = Sweet Enigmatic Elders of Destruction (notice the paradox...sweet...of destruction;) ), Cid and Edea are of course the elders here, they probably named everybody seed after their team name (everything is fictionalized of course, don't you believe it:D )
Ya, it is supposed to be pronounced SeeDee, but I just say seed.
Sorceress Edea's Elite Deuces
Securing Edea's Everlasting Devotion
Well, Cid founded it, and he is Edea's wife. It actually makes a little sense.
Going by how it's capitalised, I'd say it's there as a text illustration of a specific part of the male anatomy (which um, spits seeds I suppose)
I don't like how 'they' have been twisted though. BeeD (or 8eeD) might've been better.
Squall's excellent emo aDventure? I cheated :D
cid-SeeD is SeeD
Saving edea eliminating Dollet? (which funnily enough SeeD does do early in the game)

It's the headline at Balamb when Quistis craps out a puppy. As it turns out she was impregnated by Rinoa who was actually a male dog. Well she looked like a dog in the game. Oh Yes!!!!!!

No one can ever agree on the meaning for this. It's been argued before.
My theory is that it just comes from the way SeeD would be written in Japanese: Shido (or Shiido, though the former is also the way Cid is written, making that more likely). That uses two Japanese syllables: Shi and Do, or ShiDo, or SeeD. I realise romanised Japanese isn't meant to be written like that, but this theory works for me. Yeah, this topic was meant to be fun, but if people are gonna be all serious and "SeeD isn't an acronym lol" then I'll give out the most likely reason for the oddly placed capital.
Besides, it creates a pretty awesome line in the French version: "Ça veut dire 'graine' en Anglais..."
Anyway. "Seems Dull". No bloody wonder they made Squall the Commander.
Specially-educated ex-Disciplinarians
SeeD stands for SeeD. The name comes from a paradoxical timeloop, and Squall- who told Edea the name, didn't know what it meant.
I alway thought it means Cid's sperm or something.
Holding out hope for one of these. Fingers crossed.Quote:
