You gotta get outta the box Jack. The question is... HOW DO GALBADIAN SeeDs use Para-magic? For me... from my perspective... Since game stated that everyone can use it... And only Balamb SeeDs are officially trained and use GFs then I assumed that the NATURAL ability is... Draw and Cast whatever's there.
Highly trained mercenaries cannot draw without GFs. Why should general military shmucks be able to unaided?

But with a GF, you can store the energies and make your bonded SeeD stronger. Probably why there's the most expensive and reputed... I just shared my view I didn't say (insert VOICE OF GOD SOUND FX) THIS IS THE WAY IT IS!!!!
If you state a theory, expect it to be dissected. Peer review is the way of science, and I endorse and participate fully.

I mean, for me it make's a lot of sense of what I'm seeing on the screen other than... oh that's just part of the game. Which, you can draw and cast before you get a GF, right? I forgot... it's been awhile and... Forgive me, I sold my game... Don't hit me!
No, you cannot. That's the critical error of your postulate.

The fact that Galbadian SeeDs and Galbadian Soldiers, plus Odine's notes that everyone can use Para-Magic is just how I see it. You only see the main characters use magic because that's how the game was designed, going with that Balamb Garden SeeDs are TRAINED with GFs.
Except we do see other people, like Galbadian and Estharian soldiers, using STOCKED magic in battle.

And if you'll remember the "Clash of the Garden's" battle.... You can see... SeeDs using Para-Magic... Without a Guardian Force.
Are they? Balamb students- who AREN'T NECESSARILY SeeDS- are trained with GFs.

If you're gonna stand there and tell me my theory is no better than yours then yes! You DO!
really valid point and i'm impressed by your thinking.. I'M NOT. I'm not supporting any theory of my own, and I only support Qurange's in that it seems to fit. YOUR theory, meanwhile, is in disgreement with the game.

Check yourself there Jackie... I never once put down or refuted any of your theories.
Red Herring! My theories are not the issue here. YOUR theory IS!

YOU have been putting mine down since I got here. And if you are going to do that while I CAN support my theory... Then you're gonna HAVE TO find support before you step all of me and my own views. Alright? I'm just sharing how I see thing and not putting down anyone's theories. Check yourself... Don't start no $#!+ with me...
I see a flaw in a theory, I illuminate it. You'll note I corrected Qurange as well.
And no, I have no need to find support to highlight the flaws in your postulate.
And if this counts as [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] being started, well, bring it. I love a good debate, and I don't like to go too long without a chewtoy.

Concession accepted on the JME.

There were SeeDs in Galbadia Garden BEFORE Edea took over. And, again, if you read the story again, most Galbadian SeeDs immediately join the Galbadian Peacekeeping Forces after graduation instead of become freelancing mercenaries. It's in there. Take for example the two AWOL SeeDs found in Ellone's (Or was it Laguna's Wife's?) hometown.
You mean the AWOL Garden students? Attending Garden does not automatically a SeeD make. Seifer was never a Seed. Trabia and Galbadia did not make SeeDs, only SeeD candidates.

Now, look, I don't know WTF is wrong with people like you... I make a single statement and y'all start yellin' at me and pissin' on me for no reason. Look back... I didn't put anything you say down, but you want me to agree with you. With your funky attitude... it ain't gon' happen Jack. Now let's get back to what we were talking about... aight?
If you can't stand the heat, don't jump in the oven. When you state a postulate, it it is wrong, I will tell you. If you commit a logical fallacy, I will tell you. If you continue to do so, I will become brutal.

And we haven't actually strayed from the topic any more than you took it off.
