whenever squall and crew come back from desert prison and they find balamb garden in chaos...someone tells squall that the monsters from the training center have been let loose...but you fight much more than grats and t-rexaurs...anyone know anything bout this?
Perhaps they were hiding in a secret compartment under the metal grating.
I blame NORG
that brings me to another point...i hate NORG...he almost killed the story for me...not interesting one bit
It's just another thing that the story writers didn't take into consideration when they added it into the story, yes monsters ravaging the Garden is pretty "OH NO! WE MUST SAVE THE DAY!" worthy, but it really loses merit when the monsters aren't the right one's in the first place.
sounds right....but maybe there is something else to itQuote:

Well maybe saying "some monsters escaped the training center" gives a hint that you will be fighting monsters including but not exclusive to grats and t-rexuars
do they say "some" monsters?..and if so...where the hell did they find a Grendel?!?Quote:

what relevance could it have to the story anyways?
Ask Future Esthar or Serapy, they'll give you a plausible answer.
It makes sense to me that the Glacial Eyes, Bite Bugs and Caterchipillars got inside from the world map, but I was always a bit confused about how the monsters residing in the Fire Cavern could be bothered to journey all that way for the occasion.
And don't Grendels usually live in Galbadia?
I always imagined that they were just generally rounded up by the Guardian masters. After all, Garden does seem to control the Fire Cavern so it didn't seem implausible to me that they might've rounded up some monsters to do their dealings for them. As for the Grendel, I just assumed it might've been kept somewhere in Garden for specialist training or something. After all, the Training Centre would be pretty rubbish if it only contained Grats and T-Rexaurs.
Or y'know a wizard did it.
They were originally intended to be part of NORG's brunch
there is just wayyy too much unexplained parts of ff8's story but I guess it makes it a lil more interesting
That just sounds too logical to be plausible. I'm undecided between NORG's brunch or hidden traps.Quote:
