| LeonhartFour 09/17/19 7:48:39 PM #301 | Sure, we're concerned about Cid and we have all sorts of questions for him, but the CC Group takes priority! I beat Club, Diamond, and Joker (and snatch the Leviathan card while I'm at it), and then we visit the infirmary. Squall tries to make a report, but Cid says it isn't necessary since he can guess what must have happened. Then he asks about the real meaning of SeeD. Cid gives the canned response that they're the elite mercenary force of Balamb Garden. Then he adds that Garden's ultimate goal is to train SeeDs to defeat the sorceress. The many missions they undergo are only preparation for the final battle. Now that the sorceress has become a major threat, their true mission has begun. Then Squall asks about Cid's relationship with Edea. He admits that they are married. She's been a sorceress since childhood, and he married her with the full knowledge of that. They worked together for a long time and were very happy (He doesn't mention that it was at the orphanage they were raised at, but yeah). Then one day, Edea began talking about building the Garden and training SeeD (because she heard about it from time traveling Squall in the ending, naturally. Once again, FFVIII seems to operate on a closed time loop, but it also creates a paradox if Edea only learned about SeeD because Squall told her about it but he could only become a SeeD because she started Garden). Naturally, Cid's greatest concern is that one day SeeD might have to fight Edea herself, but she said that would never happen. And yet here we are! Next, Squall asks about NORG. Cid says that he's a black sheep from the Shumi tribe. They met while Cid was trying to start Garden, and NORG took an interest in the project. However, they needed a lot of money to keep it going. It was NORG's idea to dispatch SeeDs on missions to support Garden. While it was an enormous success, at the same time, Garden began to lose sight of their ideals and their true nature was covered up. Cid blames himself for giving up too much control to NORG. After we leave, Xu comes down in a panic, saying that there's a ship approaching, paranoid that it might be the Galbadians, perhaps even with the sorceress aboard. --- |

| LeonhartFour 09/17/19 7:42:02 PM #300 | When we arrive, a giant pod opens up and we see an unusual yellow dude the likes of which we've never seen before. Even Squall is shocked by what he sees. As an aside, I wonder what NORG's speech was like in Japanese. In English, HE-SPEAKS-IN-ALL-CAPS-WITH-HYPHENS-LIKE-THIS with an occasional "Fushururu" thrown in, whatever that's supposed to represent! NORG wastes no business in telling Squall to give his report on the sorceress assassination mission. He isn't really sure where to start, but he realizes this is going to be a sad report when he opens by stating that they failed. When Squall mentions that this was a joint operation between Balamb and Galbadia Gardens, NORG is furious, saying they were deceived by Martine. One of the faculty members explains that Garden and the sorceress are closely connected, so she will definitely try to gain control of all of them. As a result of the alliance between Deling and Edea, NORG sent an official order to Galbadia Garden to assassinate the sorceress. NORG says that Martine used Squall and company as a scapegoat to deflect blame away from himself in the event the mission failed. Squall is surprised to hear that Balamb Garden had nothing to do with that order, but they explain that they conveniently showed up at just the right time, so Martine used them. Because the assassination failed, the sorceress retaliated as expected, so they need to do something to appease her. As such, NORG's plan is to hand over those involved in the assassination to Edea as a show of sincerity and good faith. Of course, it's only a feigned allegiance to procure their own survival and Garden's continued existence. Squall finally can't take it anymore and asks why they aren't out there fighting the sorceress instead. The Garden faculty members say that Cid was saying the same things, which infuriates NORG further and chases them away. Because he dispatched SeeD to kill the sorceress and the mission failed, Garden was endangered. He calls it his Garden, saying that he was the one who put up all the money to establish it. He wanted to offer Cid to the sorceress as well and ordered the students to apprehend him, but most of them sided with him instead. Squall utterly rejects the notion that Garden belongs to NORG. At that moment, he decides to drop the bombshell that Cid and Edea are married, asking if Garden belongs to "that pathetic married couple." NORG's paranoia leads him to believe that the two of them are conspiring to take Garden away from him, so now we have to fight him. For all of NORG's big talk, he's kind of a wimp, and he also tells us exactly how his pod works by saying that he can use lots of powerful magic when the orbs turn red! As such, as long as you keep them blue, NORG isn't much of a problem. Also, it's nice to finally get a new GF in Leviathan! After the battle, NORG goes into hibernation into a giant cocoon. If you come back down here later, that cocoon will have opened up, but the game never pursues what becomes of NORG afterwards, which is too bad. I wonder if they ever intended to make a sidequest out of it but ran out of time. Anyway, Zell wonders what the heck just happened, but Squall tells them to forget about it for now. Rinoa can't believe he would say something like that, but he says there's really no point in discussing it when none of them have a clue what's going on. Squall laments that he's starting to feel like some puppet being manipulated for some major scheme. Hoo boy, you should try being in a Metal Gear Solid game...! --- |

| LeonhartFour 09/17/19 5:57:31 PM #299 | The Garden tour is one of the greatest slice of life moments in the game, but it's completely optional and missable, which is a shame. The game doesn't make you go to each area, but you get extra dialogue everywhere you go. Squall actually takes the role of tour guide seriously and explains everything to Rinoa. She even laughs that he's being so serious when he makes his explanation. You can get another running gag of Zell being too late to get a hot dog in the cafeteria! Also, the parking lot area has to be next to useless now that Garden is mobile. Squall and Rinoa have a great exchange in the training center (where you learn students call it "the monster's lair," just so you have some extra useless info!) where he asks her if she wants to give fighting the monsters a try. She replies that she can imagine him doing this as a first date and jokes that he's so romantic. As you're wandering around, Dr. Kadowaki will tell you she's looking for Cid and to have him drop by the infirmary. If you take Rinoa to the library, she'll instantly become enamored by it and want to go looking around on her own. I remember reading that Square wanted Rinoa to be a more "down to earth" kind of girl, so they made her someone who loved to read. If she's not in your active party, this is normally where Rinoa will be hanging out. On a similar note, that's why Rinoa isn't a bombshell beauty like Tifa and Aerith were. She's very pretty, of course, but they scaled her back a bit. If you go to the backroom of the library, you'll find Ellone sitting there. Squall will remember her from the infirmary and saving her in the Training Center, but he still doesn't know who she is. She urges him to try to remember because it would be heartbreaking if she were forgotten. Probably my favorite part of the tour is in the infirmary, where Dr. Kadowaki is stunned to see Squall walking around with a girl. She asks if this is his girlfriend, and you can deny it or play along. Both options result in great exchanges, but I prefer to play along. Rinoa asks him if he's serious, and he'll confirm that he is indeed serious, which stuns her speechless. Then he follows it up with, "I'm seriously joking," which results in a big facepalm from Rinoa before conceding that it's a pretty good joke by his standards. When you get back to the entrance, a faculty member will tell Squall that the Garden Master wishes to see him, so we can take the elevator down to B1. Also, you can officially begin the CC Card Group sidequest if you talk to Jack in this area. It's one of the most fun sidequests in the game with a nice twist at the end. Anyway, when we get down to the bottom, we hear Cid arguing with someone (and then Zell joins us shortly thereafter, conveniently spotting us getting on the elevator and then coming down behind us). There are a couple of good songs during this part. The one that plays when you first show up is called, "Truth." Fittingly enough, the one that plays once you start talking with NORG is called, "Heresy," and it's permeated with really bombastic organ music. We get to see a rare angry side of Cid, and Squall relays the message for him to see Dr. Kadowaki before he takes off. --- |

| LeonhartFour 09/17/19 1:59:35 PM #297 | Next, we get our first of one of my favorite aspects of Disc 2, which is Squall simply in his room thinking. Yes, this sounds so exciting, I know, but these are great character building moments and they're part of why I love him. It's just him alone with his thoughts, trying to figure out life. One of the big things about Final Fantasy VIII is that Squall's inner turmoil is given the same weight (if not more) than the outward conflict. Disc 2 is where all of that really starts to kick into high gear as he begins to question everything he always thought he knew or believed. For now, he's just mulling everything over because there's nothing they can do but float in the ocean for now. He's thinking about all the things he wants to ask Cid about, but at the same time, he's probably too busy trying to reestablish order to deal with that right now. Squall says that he hates having nothing to do because it gets him thinking too much, but I love it and can't get enough of it! But yeah, this is what I meant earlier when I said Squall was content to be a mindless soldier who just follows orders and never has to think about anything. However, as time has gone by, that has become less and less possible for him, especially as he has risen in the estimation of his teammates and of Cid, because now they all look to him for leadership. Then Squall's thoughts start hopping around from topic to topic in rapid succession. He thinks about Selphie and the others, hoping they're all right and wondering if he made the right call to let them go. He begins to wonder who the sorceress is and why she would try to destroy the Garden. He wonders if there's a day Seifer will ever come back, while also vowing to get even next time he sees him. Eventually, he drifts off to sleep and he wakes up to see Rinoa standing above him, asking him to give her a tour of the Garden. Squall asks if this is an "order," but she says she simply wants him to show her around so she can get acquainted with the place. He relents, but you gotta start locking your door, man! If you look at the info corner, you can find some stuff about the nature of the shelter Garden used to be before Cid took it over. The ancient people of Centra built them to be able to travel around the world. There are many ruined shelters that have been discovered, but I guess finding one that's still intact is pretty rare! Either that, or no one's been able to figure it out. Gotta just start pushing buttons, guys! --- |

| LeonhartFour 09/17/19 1:46:37 PM #296 | As we start this sequence, it'll occasionally cut to FMVs of the missiles making their way to Garden (As an aside, if you didn't set the error ratio to max in Selphie's section, you can actually get a game over FMV of the missiles destroying Garden). When we descend in the elevator, the power goes out, so we have to climb out through the bottom hatch. Then the power comes back down as we get near the bottom, so we make a narrow escape to avoid getting crushed by the descending elevator. Nice use of an action movie trope! There's a part where you have to turn a rusted wheel in order to open the next area, and you have to mash a button for several seconds. If you can't get it in one try, another party member will help out and make it easier. Supposedly, it's possible to do it by yourself even without a turbo controller, but I've never been able to do it and I fancy myself a fairly solid button masher! Eventually, we reach the precursor to MGS3's The Ladder. Squall is supposed to choose who will climb it, but no matter what you choose, he ultimately opts just to go by himself. Unfortunately, before "Eyes On Me" can start up in the background, the ladder collapses and Squall goes flying through a window. Another great action movie trope! Fortunately, we end up in the room we needed to be in all along! Squall can either confirm or deny (or ride the fence with "Kind of") that the experience scared him when you get back to the other party members. When we get all the way to the bottom, we have to fight off a couple of Oilboyles. Thankfully, they're susceptible to sleep, so it makes the fight a breeze. FFVIII has a handful of fun songs that only last for like a minute because they're used in the context of an FMV. I like the song that plays as the missiles close in, called "Retaliation." When they reach the control center, Squall just starts pushing buttons and it eventually activates the security measure, which is...flight! Yes, someone decided making a giant flying building was a great idea! I suppose it is a decent defensive tactic to protect against something that requires a stationary target, like missiles, but still! I like the song that plays during this part, appropriately called "Movin'." We get a really cool FMV of the Garden activating its flight system right as the missiles zoom past where it was only moments before. We decide to go take a look at how things are going around Garden, and the fact that it just took flight and we just narrowly avoided being blown up by missiles has caused everyone to regain some perspective and brings the fervor of the riot down to nothing. We can head out to the platform and get a unique FMV if Rinoa is in your party (It won't play if she's not, naturally) where she takes in the view from outside while another short song, "Blue Sky," plays, and then she looks back at smiles at Squall. Then reality ensues when we realize we don't know how to pilot this thing and we're about to crash into the town of Balamb. Everyone looks to Squall for answers, as usual, and he decides that if button mashing worked the first time, it'll work again. Fortunately, he turns out to be right, but then we fall off the island into the sea. Doubly fortunately, Garden can float, so now we can take a breather and figure out what to do next and how to drive this crazy thing. --- |

| LeonhartFour 09/17/19 11:36:34 AM #295 | After exhausting all of our options, we head back toward the entrance, only to see Xu headed for the elevator. They follow her up to the 2nd floor, and when she asks whose side they're on, Squall simply says, "Neither." He recognizes there's more urgent stuff at the moment than picking sides in this riot. When Squall tells her about the missiles, she informs them that Cid's actually been in his office the whole time. They tried to make it seem like he was in hiding to divert everyone's attention. Hiding in plain sight and all that. When we reach Cid's office, he's already been informed about the missiles. Unfortunately, the intercom is busted, so they can't announce an order to evacuate. Cid tells them to assist Fujin, Raijin, and Xu in warning everyone to evacuate and then get out themselves. Squall wonders what's going on in his mind right now. He insists that he has a lot to report, but Cid says it can wait until later as he gives a shaky SeeD salute. However, Squall thinks that he might be dead later. Cid asks if there's some sort of problem, and for the first time in the game, he actually vocalizes his thoughts aloud, asking him what he intends to do. Cid says he's going to stay here until the end, although he assures them he hasn't resigned himself to death. He has one last ditch plan, but he's really in no shape to be doing it himself, so Squall insists that he let them handle it instead. When Cid asks him why, he goes through a bevy of reasons in his mind: Cid might screw up, he wants to do more than just announce an evacuation, Balamb Garden is important to him, too, he wants to find out Cid's plan, and because this is his home. Ultimately, he doesn't think his "reasons" matter, and he tells Cid that his feelings have nothing to do with it. As we just saw, he's clearly lying, but at least he's starting to be more honest with himself, even if not with everyone else quite yet. Cid laughs and says that Quistis was right that he has a hard time expressing his feelings. In his mind, Squall wonders why he should bother, and why he's being judged for his lack of expression. Then Cid tells them that this building used to be a shelter of some kind before it was remodeled into the Garden as they know it now. He tosses Squall a key to unlock access to the basement levels on the elevator. Supposedly, there's some sort of control system down there. Cid himself has never seen it and has no clue what it does, but since this used to be a shelter, maybe it'll protect them from the missiles. Squall doesn't really like such a half-cocked plan, but it's better than nothing. --- |

If Bridgewater or Hill can manage to go 3-3 (they've got games against the Bucs, Jags, and Cards in the next 6, so it's doable), the Saints should be in a position to win the division when Brees comes back because they're still the most talented team in the division. --- |

| LeonhartFour 09/17/19 3:56:33 AM #292 | As you talk to the students, you find out that the faculty members set the monsters in the Training Center loose, so they're attacking anyone in sight. Several of the students will give you items for talking to them, but unfortunately, nobody seems to know where Cid is. You have to go to each of the wings of the Garden on the first floor and fend off the Garden Faculty and their monsters of choice (although I think one or two of the battles is avoidable). Fun Fact: Up to this point, every time you entered a wing of the Garden, you had to go through a long hallway first (which is where you encounter the faculty members during this part). After this sequence, you automatically skip ahead to the next area and the hallways go away forever! As soon as we enter the Garden proper, Fujin and Raijin meet us and catch us up to speed. Once Squall informs them of the potentially incoming missiles, the two of them agree to help warn everyone. When Zell and Rinoa ask Fujin and Raijin who they side with in this dispute, they reply that they will always only side with Seifer, and that's all there is to it. Naturally, Squall wonders if they're all right with the fact that Seifer himself has sided with the sorceress. It becomes pretty clear right away that NORG and his goons are the instigators in this riot, and it's mostly underclassmen siding with them, for whatever the reason. Nearly all the SeeDs we encounter are pro-Cid. Either way, it's kind of tough for me to believe that so many people would side with some guy none of them had ever heard of until the riot happened. Some sort of mob mentality or manipulation or something? Who knows! I'm just enjoying the ride! In the infirmary, Dr. Kadowaki helps a "rebel" student who gets injured during the fight, saying it doesn't matter whose side they're on. When Squall tells her that there may be missiles headed this way, she opts to stay because who will take care of the injured if she leaves? I just realized this is one of the rare situations in a JRPG where the "rebels" aren't treated as the good guys for trying to overthrow the establishment! Either way, we really could have used some more background and context here. Along the way, you can run into Nida, the other guy who passed the SeeD exam along with Squall, Zell, and Selphie. Completely forgot about him? Don't worry. Squall did, too! One of the SeeDs will say that Cid had most of the SeeDs evacuate because the "true battle of SeeD" is yet to come, hinting at their role of fighting the sorceress. Everyone tells us we should look for Xu if we want to find Cid. She basically took charge as soon as this whole uprising began. The advantage of having Zell is seen in the library, where the girl with pigtails (who obviously has crush on her) will give you a better haul than you'd get without him. --- |

| LeonhartFour 09/16/19 11:33:47 PM #290 | We get inside the base, only to find the front door is locked. Conveniently, Irvine found an ID card in the vehicle we drove. I guess it's safe to assume this vehicle would drive back and forth between the prison and the missile base, but still! Anyway, as I said before, there are several opportunities to get busted before you reach the end. The first is approaching a guard. You're just supposed to act casual, which means walking past him instead of running around. He'll stop you, only to compliment you for walking in a single file together with such good manners! The second involves properly relaying a message, which enables us to gain access to the circuit control room and force a blackout. The third involves what you tell the maintenance team who comes to investigate after the blackout (if you just want to skip right to the end, you can just choose to fight them and blow your cover!). The fourth involves keeping it cool and lending a hand to the soldiers when they ask for it. Next, you've got to get on the control panel and set the error ratio to max (and don't forget to save your work!). You get a game over if you mess this part up! With that, you can finally make it to the main control room, although you'll get found out by the leading officer by the fact that they can't do a proper Galbadian army salute! Selphie's fine with being able to let loose and bust some skulls though! And with that, we can finally set the self-destruction sequence on the missile base! You can set it from anywhere to 10-40 minutes. If you set it for 10-20, you can escape out the door inside the control room, but if you pick 30-40, you actually have to go all the way back to the beginning, I suppose as punishment for being a coward! Anyway, as Selphie and company exit, we see the missiles being launched, and then we're forced to fight some huge tank thing. The last requirement to go up a SeeD rank is to finish this part in less than 10 minutes, which isn't too hard with proper junctions. I did it in about 5 and a half minutes. But despite that, Selphie and company can't find a way out of the missile base, so they start having their "final" thoughts. Selphie wonders if Squall will organize the Garden Festival in her place before quickly realizing that ain't gonna happen. Quistis is surprised by how quietly the end came for her, thinking it would be a more dramatic event. I mean, getting caught up in an huge explosion seems pretty dramatic to me, but whatever! Irvine starts to think that Squall didn't trust him or want him around, and that's why he put him on this team. Ever the optimist, Selphie can't agree with the other two, thinking Squall chose them because he believed in them. As I said before, her ability to keep herself together in dire circumstances is one of her most admirable traits. And then there's a huge explosion, and we cut to Squall and company as they arrive at Balamb Garden, happy to see it's still safe. Squall realizes that they may not necessarily be out of hot water yet, and the missiles could be en route. With that in mind, they decide their next course of action has to be to report to Headmaster Cid. Unfortunately, that proves to be a harder task than expected, as there's chaos everywhere. The faculty are telling the students to find Cid as well, but with the intention of capturing and killing him, so now we have to quell a mutiny! The faculty ask Squall if he sides with Cid or with Garden Master NORG, and you can lie to avoid a fight for now, but that's no fun! --- |
