It's to plant the beautiful seed in the garden
...

*dances off into the distance*
SeeD doesn't stand for anything as far as i know.
SeeD<>Garden. Kind of explains it, don't you think?
But the last letter is in capital.How do you explain that?
Garden for instance has just the first letter on capital.
I don´t spell "Seed" but "See di"
how bout SorcErEss Defenders, the 2 e's stand as the 2 lower case ones
Special enforcers in encountering demons (SeeD)
hmm I'm not sure it says it in the guide but I do believe they give an explanation of it.
i remember they said what SeeD is all about but not wat it stands for
Sorceress elimination - elite Division
it almost works?
Sorceress edeas elite Defenders\Division
makes sense cas edea created it
The last letter is capitalize because it is pronounced "CD"... :shifty:
I think I remember reading in another thread once that Cid and Seed are spelt the same way in japanese, so they did SeeD to tell the differnece. I don't know how you can capitalize a "d" in japanese, though.
we shall never know...
Sometimes letters don't mean anything, guys.
I think Raven Nox has a good thing going here.
anyways, yes, there are capitalized things that are made into acronyms after the fact, like PERL or USA PATRIOT ACT. And I reference this week's AWAD newsletter for Tuesday in saying this. Sometimes more fun things are done with acronyms, such as have self-referencing ones (GNU's Not Unix)
SeeD is SeeD. Would you rather they simply be seeds floating on the wind? Square had already used full caps for AVALANCHE anyways, they needed something to be different.
the lower case letters,ee, are probably little words and the capital letters,SD, are probably big words. Like DoC, Dirge, is a big word ,of, is a little word, and Cerberus,(i dont know if thats how you spell it) is a big word too. I dont know.
Sociaty of the Elimination of Envious Dorks!
we can go on forever
SorcErEss Dinasty.We can create whatever words we want because the game never tells us.
I dont see why anyone would think it stood for something, given the game's extremely obvious theme. Garden, seed. The capitalized d is for aesthetic purposes only. If it stood for something, the game would tell us. As it is, they pretty much shove the 'garden' motif in our faces.
Suck Elixers Every Day. Shrink Every Edible Dinosaur.... There's a million equally ridiculous possibilities.
Society for the Ethical Elimination of Dorks.
Squall Ejoying Elegant Drugs
In FFVII, Sephiroth, Zack, and others are called SOLDIER, not soldier. And no one has ever wondered if SOLDIER is an acronym, so why is everyone wandering if SeeD is an acronym? I can imagine they write SeeD instead of Seed so that the term becomes noticeable. If somone just saw the word Seed (that would have to be at the beginning of a sentence) they might just overlook the work, but SeeD is noticeable no matter what.
Sorceress Dinasty.
It makes sence on the context of the game.
SOLDIER: Soap Oni Loser Drugs Idiot Edgy Rentals
each word represents people who pass into SOLDIER.
Soap: gotta be able to talk dirty. (soap in mouth)
Oni: gotta be cold hearted like Sephiroth (devil, evil)
Loser: kill losers.
Drugs: Mako is like a drug. lol.
Idiot: kill idiots.
Edgy: you gotta be an edgy person.
Rentals: you don't have to rent shinra uniforms, you get ur own SOLDIER OUTFIT! WHOOO!
sorry that was really stupid. like really really stupid. T_T
Save for the fact that that is the exact opposite of what a SeeD is and what their purpose is.Quote:

My thoughts exactly. No clue why people would pronounce it "C D" as that would defeat the whole "seeds in a garden" theme. "Seed" is not pronounced "C D" and neither should "SeeD" be pronounced that way. They are the seeds of their respective Garden :DQuote:

It doesn't stand for anything. They are the seeds that grow into plants that make up the garden.

im pretty sure no one cared at squaresoft about it, otherwise they would have revealed the answer to the acronym somewhere in the game.
or else it just went along with "the Garden plants SeeDs..."
or not
IS there an Ultimania guide for VII? And, if so, does it explain this?Quote:

Oh by the way my english is not very good. so if I screw it up I'm sorry!!!!!!
your english is better than some english peoples' xDDDDDD
but SeeD, seeds in a garden
seedlings
I don't think you are right. Seed is way to simple, they make it SeeD 'cuz it looks better!! Duh! :rolleyes2 :rolleyes2 ;)Quote:

this died awhile ago...i think we have all come to the conclusion that Garden raises SeeDs and the big D is to make it look cool

i'm not convinced.
I think named it SeeD 'cause they spread their knowledge all around the world of Final Fantasy VIII so that's where we get the name Garden! And maybe the 'D' at the end means 'Determination'; ''See Determination'' or something to that sense!
Simply ecstatic every Day. i mean look at zell, it works for him.
That's pretty confusing right there, the whole timeloop thing, I mean when he went back in time at the end. It's like, if Squall told her the name, and then went back in time again, the whole thing just like plays itself over and over again lol. But how can there be 2 Squalls at the same time? :confused: And if he did go back in time and told her that, where did the name originate from, it must have came from somewhere! So I agree with the theory about SeeD, and Garden. And perhaps the D in SeeD was simply for it to stand out, because if you were reading through text and saw "Seed", it wouldn't stand out as much. Or maybe we are overlooking it, and it is simply a typographical error, and they decided to keep it because it looks cool lol.:DQuote:
SeeD stands for SeeD. The name comes from a paradoxical timeloop, and Squall- who told Edea the name, didn't know what it meant.
Sorceress Edea's Elite Determined... perhaps...:rolleyes2
Or maybe the big "D" represents the way you write "Seed" in Japanese, which is "shi" and "do"; thus "See" represents the "shi" character and "D" represents the "do".Quote:
