Maybe that's why the GFs are used at Balamb Garden, and why Headmaster Robin Williams has decided to wave away the suspicions of GFs causing memory loss. It's his way to treat and avoid PTSD stuff. or something.

I could be remembering wrong, but I feel like Balamb is the only Garden that really uses (and forces the use of) GFs. Was it also the only place that held the SeeD exams, or could Galbadia do that too? I know Selphie transferred from Trabia because they didn't do SeeD exams there.

What is even the point of Trabia Garden now that I think about it? Is it mostly a normal school that just has a track you could follow to become a SeeD? That's the feel I get for it. Galbadia Garden just seems more like a military academy since many of the students graduate there and join the Galbadian Military. It makes sense in the context of Deling and the Galbadian nation. Balamb is the most shady of the group considering they are just creating teenage mercenaries with no real overall purpose. I mean, it started as sort of an ideological thing of taking these kids (mostly orphans it feels like) that exist in this war-torn world to help prepare for and prevent another sorceress from starting a war, but that purpose seems kind of forgotten by this game until Edea pops up. And now I'm just rambling. I should just go to bed.
