    Norg was a strange creature?

    The way you talk seems to suggest he was a domesticated monster taken from the savanah.

    My point is that it is unusual for a non-human character to be living in the basement of a school (and that was more of a joke than anything). I'm just saying that not everything in VIII has to be so overly complicated!

    The fact remains that Cid said "finally... a gunblade speciallist" which still implies that he is the first gunblade speciallist which implies there were none before him which implies he is self taught for atleast after the basics training.

    Were the first SeeDs self-taught as well? I'm quite interested in how one teaches oneself to use a deadly weapon, but I've never tried.

    Seriously, Cid must have hired instructors. One of them could've been a gunblade teacher. He taught Squall and Seifer. Much simpler solution.

    Shumi´s are important on FFVIII because they evolve into different things including humans.
    Cid ,Deling,Dobe,Caraway,Master Fisherman,Chocoboy,Man at Garden´s entrance,Orlan,Flower Lady on Winhill,Paint Kid on Dollet,His Grandpa,Zone,Watts,Martine and many others are Shumi´s.

    Is that a joke?

    Anyway, I don't see what's so farfetched about Squall teaching himself to use the gunblade. It is only him and seifer that use them really anyway, and they obviously take a lot of time to train so over the years they could certainly have been able to use what is essentially mainly a sword in combat.

    It's hinted to. At least Garden related people like Cid - I have yet to find direct hints to the others, but it is an interesting concept.

    Doesn't Artisan say, if you finish the whole Shumi sidequest, that he's going to attempt to evolve into a human, which has never been attempted before?

    I'll have to check that. If so it maybe a coincidence what I have seen.

    I actually would agree with the idea of Cid having hired instructors from the armies around the world, after the Gabaldian - Estharian sorceress war which is when Garden was formed there would be lots of soldiers out of work and trying to find a way of making a living. If I were setting up a mercenary organisation of highly trained specialists who have the hidden agenda of preventing another sorceress war before it can begin by means of a surgical strike. I certainly would hire instructors also note the faculty are not part of SeeD it is possible that older members of the faculty who certainly would have known about the development of Garden and it's foundations would have come from the original ex-military instructors.

    As for Squall buying his gun-blade in Dollet? Serapy, there is no explanation or mention of Squall having brought his blade there in game, I'm prone to some assumptions in my own posts but lets face it considering weapon upgrades for Squall's gunblade can be brought in every weapon shop I would say it is equally possible his blade was brought from Balamb, Esthar, Gabaldia, or any other location in the game world. More likely considering his specialisation and the unique design of his and Seifer's base weapons I would wager their weapons were custom built by an artificer hired by Garden. Gun-blades might be specialist weapons for use but Just because they are losing popularity against swords and guns (which if I recall correctly was actually written in game) and other simpler to use weapons does not mean they are not for sale or used exclusively by Seifer and Squall in fact I would wager theres lots of former soldiers and such who still use the weapon for personal protection against monsters hence they're still on sale in shops.

    Yes please provide me evidence that Cid, Deling, Dobe, Caraway, Master Fisherman, Chocoboy, Man at Garden entrance, Orlan, Flower, Lady on Winhill, Paint kid on Dollet, His Grandpa, Zone, Watts, Martine and many other human characters in the game are actually Shumi's this will be most amazingly astounding screenshots are neccessary for this to be proven I think.

    Yeah he does, however the only 2 known forms of Shumi evolution at present are: Moomba or Elder, those who fail to make it to Elder status end up as Moombas who unfortunately get abused by both the Estharian and Gabaldian governments.

    Look at the double President Deling.
    He is a Shumi.
    Gerogero is not a monster as he made you think.
    He is a Shumi who left the village and in consequence his arms grow unproportional.
    Evidence:The similarity between Gerogero and Shumi´s graphics.
    Gerogero is a Shumi aberration.
