The amnesia thing is silly?
What about the intro of the game?
You call that training?I tell ya,neither Squall nor Seifer seemed like they were training.
And the placed is nowhere in Balamb.At least I donīt recognise a place in Balamb that fits the graphics.

It also looks like Edea and Rinoa taked a part on the "training" with Rinoa using her pendant to save Squall.

Unless you think Squall was dreaming about the training AFTER the training.
