ok. alright. ffvii didnt do much for a story either. all it did was show that cloud can still kick ass. now for ff8 stroyline.
its going to be like this
seifer was always one to demand more power. he saw how the scorceress were powerful and he wants power like that. so enraged with power he kills edea and gains her power. than he finds out that his power start to grow uncontrollably. he calls himself Warlord Seifer. he wears a black drench coat. and a red lionheart gunblade. he treaten the world by summoning a new kinda weapon. maybe like idk shadow weapon or Ultra weapon or something. Squall and company destroy the monster, find out that Seifer was the problem. Seifer finds out that rinoa has a trace of sorcerss in her so he kills her to gain more power. Squall become enraged and Warlord Seifer and Squall duke it out to end the rivalry and protect the world from the evils of Warlord Seifer
this would be seifers sword
killing everyone
