Squall manages to get Irvine to take the shot, but Edea was ready for it and blocks it with a barrier. Irvine apologizes, but Squall says his aim was perfect. He tells Irvine to take care of Rinoa before he takes off (Noteworthy that he specifically tells Irvine this). This next FMV is one of my favorites in the game, as Squall charges in to face the sorceress (although they made a slight goof because the parade float is facing away from Squall as he approaches, which would be impossible considering Irvine shot her straight on and the back of the float would have obstructed his shot anyway) as Seifer and Edea await his arrival. It's super cool.

Seifer tells Squall that being the sorceress's knight has always been his dream, but he's obviously a bit out of practice because he's super weak and doesn't even successfully pull the trigger on the gunblade half the time! Still, I love the atmosphere of one-on-one battles, so it's all good! Before the next battle, Edea calls Squall a SeeD planted in a rundown Garden. I love how Irvine and Rinoa run in to join as the battle begins, Rinoa saying that she can fight as long as she's with him and Irvine saying he has to redeem himself. The battle theme for sorceresses, "Premonition" is super great, by the way. This first fight with Edea is super easy to cheese if you use Carbuncle to set up Reflect because she'll spend three turns casting Dispel on each individual party member, and then you can just summon him again. If she does attack, her physical attack is super weak. Even so, the atmosphere for these fights is off the charts! I love it. You don't actually have to win the fight against Edea to advance the story, but you do get 20 AP for it, so it's obviously better to win!

The FMV to end Disc 1 (of course, it's not the end of Disc 1 here, but still!) was pretty shocking, to see Squall impaled and fall to the ground as Edea mercilessly looms over him, with the player having no idea what's become of him as he closes his eyes to end the disc. Nothing was ever going to top Aerith's death as far as a big end of Disc 1 shocker, but this one was pretty great. Disc 1 ends with a setback for the heroes in all three of the PS1 FFs, although FFIX's is a bit tamer than FFVII and FFVIII. Still, a fantastic way to close everything out. I was completely hooked on the game from this point on my first time through.
