Missile Base team and BGH251F2
After fighting BGH251F2 the second time in FH why when its destroyed and falls into the water Selphie and the rest of the missile base team crawl out?
This is my third time playing the game fully through and its a question I've always asked myself. Obviously they fought it at the missile base before the base was destroyed. Did they use it to escape the missile base& had to then pretend to be galbadian soldiers operating it?
Where they taken prisoner?
What do you guys think?
They were locked inside the Missile Base, but without any form of shelter either, since they were also locked out of the actual building itself. Basically, they used the Iron Clad as shelter from the missiles, and as cover to get out of the Missile Base. However, from then on, it was constantly surrounded and controlled by Galbadian troops, so Selphie's team never got a chance until FH to get out of the tank.

It's a slightly sketchy tale, but it works as long as you don't think about it too hard xD
After all, Selphie's team were able to damage the tank with melee weapons and a handful of magic spells, but then its armour withstood an explosion that was comparable to a small nuclear device.
It's also strange that the Galbadian army never opened the vehicle to check on the crew inside, after they recovered it from the missile base's ruins. They just loaded up the smouldering hulk, took it to FH, and turned it loose.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a "plot hole", but it is a searing indictment on the Galbadian Army's basic competency.
I also was thinking that it wasent really a plot hole, it just wasent really explained. So I like your way of looking at it as the G armys incompetencyOriginally Posted by Big D
I say blame Biggs and Wedge.
crazieness
Bassically, the creators couldnt think of a way in which they could escape if the G army was competent. So they made the G army incompetent, thus enabling the escape.I also was thinking that it wasent really a plot hole, it just wasent really explained.

"They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

Is it me or are the generic soldiers always "incompetent" even if whatever side they're fighting on is very powerful.
Yep, that's usually the case somehow - from the Empire in FFVI to Shinra's MPs in FFVII
Still, my mind continues to boggle at the Galbadian army's awesomely powerful, bomb-proof tank that can survive an exploding missile base even though a bunch of kids almost destroyed it with weapons and GFs
I think it would of been cool if inbetween somewhere in the NORG scenes the story swithced back to Selphie and her team just to add a little more to the story.
If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?
I actually thought they were dead >.>
Did you finish the game? How could you have thought they died?
I'm assuming she meant that she thought they were dead immediately after the explosion. That's definitely what the writers wanted us to believe, anyway. Though it went without saying that they'd come back - no FF game would let you divide your party into two, then kill half of them off
Ahh that makes sense. Come to think of it... Yeah when I first played way back when it first came out in 99 I remember I was like oh my god.....when i saw the missile base blow.
It's moments like this that make FF8 come in second place as my favorite FF instead of first place.
