Thread: The Beginning

    Default The Beginning

    What do you think the place is in the very beginning where Squall and Seifer scar each other?
    It's not mentioned anywhere, is it?
    Just need that information for a fic... Besides, I've been wondering it for a while

    That's a good question. Maybe somewhere in the training center or outside Balamb. I'm not sure. Now, you've got me ponderin bout it.

    I'm pretty sure i'ts one of the unacsessible bits of the training centre, like were you find elone or something that becomes unacessible.

    I always thought it was out on the field. It's open area, with rocks in the background, looks like it'd just be a place between garden and those mountains.

    It's definitely outside though. what with the lightning and such. Phenomena like that don't usually occur inside

    I had always assumed that it happened on a plateau in the mountainous area around the Fire Cavern, because when Quistis asks Squall why he hadn't been to the Cavern yet, he thinks to himself "I was gonna go this morning, but then Seifer. . . " I got the impression that he was on his way to the Cavern, met Seifer coming out after having passed, and they got into an egotistical battle.

    That, and the area 1) looks mountainous, and the only part of the Balamb continant that has mountains is near the Fire Cavern, and 2) because it is obviously outside, whereas the Training Center is contained inside so that the monsters don't escape.

    Just my 2 cents.

    i think Squall and Seifer scarred each other during training at Balamb Garden. that explains why Squall wakes up in the doctor's office.

    Hm, I like ShivaBlizzard's theory
    It makes sense. I think I'll go with that.
    It kinda bugs me tho that it was never mentioned in the game.

    yeha...i didnt htink of that..^_^ good observation..(outside the fire cavern)
    You know you're obsessed with FF when...:laughing:
    1) You yell at the characters. i.e "Cloud, what the heck do you think you're doing?!"
    2) You praise the characters and/or tell them you love them. i.e "Oh yeah, Squall!"or"Nice save Tidus!"
    3)You start to dress/talk/act like the characters and/or pick up their habits i.e saying ...'whatever' half the time,randomly pointing your finger in the air when you talk to someone,ect
    4) You talk about the characters as if you know them. i.e "Oh yeah, I think Cloud and Tifa should get together."or" Seifer such a big jerk!”
    5) When you're playing FF and someone asks what you're doing you reply "saving the planet".
    6) You mistakenly refer pounds/dollars/euros as Gil afew times.
    7) When you grow up you want to be a -SeeD/ Shinra Soldier/ Galbadian Soldier/ member of SOLDIER/ Sorceress/ Choco Sage/ Garden Master/President of Shinra Inc./ Turk/ Scientist/Summoner/Mage/White Mage/Sephiroth
    8) You wondered (or wished) one (or more) of the following:
    --You knew did know (and /or)knew someone as cute as Squall/Cloud/Irvine/Sephiroth/Vincent/Tidus ect,Tifa/Aerith/Yuffie/Rikku/Yuna/Rinoa/Selphie ect
    -You could go to Garden instead of school
    -You could play Blitzball in PE
    -You could drive the Ragnarok/Highwind
    - Chocobos roamed the forests near your house.
    -You wish you could use magic/materia/GF's/summons/Materia
    -You had a limit break
    :riiight:

    Yup seifer jumped cloud when he was on his way to the fire cavern, it's probably round about the balamb area. Thats were i always percieved it as anyway.

    That actually makes a lot of sense, but the only thing that would confuse me about that idea is that how did Squall get back to Balamb Garden and into the medical facility? If it was just him and Seifer and I know Seifer, he wasn't exactly going to carry an injured Squall back to the Garden or tell anyone about it (except for the purposes of gloating).

    I always thought it was the training center, mainly because Quistis says to them in class to take it easy on the training. But, I do like Shiva's thought better.

    Nice to see you kicking around the boards again, Rampala!

    Anyway, that's a good point - I hadn't though about how Squall got back to Garden if he was completely passed out the entire time. And yeah, Seifer doens't strike me as the kind of guy who would carry him back. I guess I would speculate that they couldn't have been completely alone (even though we don't see anyone else), because the Fire Cavern test requires a sponsor. Or maybe other SeeD canidates passed by and found Squall. . . who knows? Maybe carrying a comatose rival back to campus IS Seifer's cup of tea after all.

    In any case, about Quistis' comment on training - I figured any practice combat, regardless as to where it takes place, would be considered training.
