FFVIII, being a very bad game with a story and script written by chimpanzees with Down Syndrome, proved that Seifer's way was the only right way. Every time a "plan" was concocted, it was utterly ludicrous, failed miserably and proved that tactical thinking is beyond chimps with metal retardation.

The only time anything succeeds in the game is when someone just says smurf it and rushes in. Seifer accomplished more by barging in and attacking Deling recklessly than the Forest Owls or SeeD's did with their Train Plan.

FFXIII isn't written much better but at least they seem to understand their limitations. The heroes don't have any real plans and that's all for teh good because their plans would probably be just as idiotic as every strategy in FFVIII. Snow recognizes that his strength lies in action, not plotting. Just charge in and hope things work out ie. the plot of every FF Game Ever.
