Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

Seifer & Laguna

In case you don't remember, when we see Laguna filming a movie called "The Sorceress' Knight" he wields a gunblade like Seifer's and adopts a pose and style we see Seifer do several times in the game.

So, did Seifer watch the movie and take the idea from there? He did check out books on the Sorceress Knight thing as well so it could be possible.

Really? I never noticed. But if that were the case, then that theory may be possible, but I really doubt it. It's an interesting idea though.

I just...don't remember about Seifer checking out Sorceress Knights books. >.>

I remember somewhere in the library I think or no on the computer or maybe on the notice in the classroom there is a notice from the library on overdue books and Seifer's name pops up on the sorceress' knight book.

I'll look into it soon (Since I plan on playing this again soon now) and while it would be ironic, I don't remember it being in there. Besides, Laguna was just a really great and funny guy while Seifer honestly believed himself the "Sorcess's knight," so he might have gotten the idea from there, but he also perfected it. :p

Ah I remember now. It was in the very beginning of the game.

Hmm, then yeah, I'm now more prone to believe that can very well be the case then. I really should pay more attention to the very smallest details in the game.

Was that in there? Gah, now I'll HAVE to find it. I do love when the creators put in little useless but ironic story making tidbits like that. It makes it so much more entertaining.

I'm a huge fan of irony though.

I'm a little confused why Squall's name is in the title of the post

But anyways, I've read a few fanfics where Seifer got the idea from watching the movie when he was a kid.

And while it was a nice and wholesome "be a hero for the people" idea, Ultimecia comes and f*cks it up

Poor Seifer...
