I've been thinking about some of these characters in these games and how've they come about to learning how to fight. In just about all of the games I've played it's never directly told in backstory but for most characters it can easily be assumed. Squall was taken to Balamb Garden at an early age and of course gained combat skills there. Cloud is a little more in depth. He wanted to become a famous hero like Sephiroth and went to join Shinra as a teen? Zidane was taken under care by Baku who ran a gang so it should be self-explanatory, but what about characters like Quina? How did a frog eating chef learn to fight and gain the abilities of monsters? How did Relm get the ability to bring her portraits to life? How did Edwar....nevermind. He can't fight.

Looking back do you think that could just be a little more detailed about this part of characters? With characters strong enough to save the world from an evil demi-god I would like to know how they became that strong.
