You can choose to defeat Greiver and Ultimecia with just Squall in a fairly easy battle btw.

Like you said, end up like Zack, dead.

All SeeDs Junction Guardian Forces, it has been said multiple times during the course of the game.

Even WITHOUT the GFs, SeeDs has some of the best limit breaks of ALL Final Fantasies.


If you only say First-Class SOLDIERs against SeeDs, well, it be the remaining First-Class SOLDIERs against a bunch of powerful SeeDs.

If you include all SOLDIERs, you might as well add Garden students, Irvine & Rinoa since Ultimecia considers them as SeeDs, Rinoa would make everyone Invinsible before bombarding them of Wishing Stars and Irvine would Blast the holy crap out of them with his shots. You would need to add Rinoa since she's an allies of SeeDs.

Rinoa did say (I want to be part of the group and fight along the side of everyone) before joining the ranks with the SeeD Students.

Also, what makes you think there isn't any other Powerfull SeeDs like Squall in the Academy?
