The schools are : - Balamb Garden A school colored blue that is the most popular school at Balamb Continent. - Galbadia Garden A school colored red with a hi-tech system at Galbadia Continent. - Trabia Garden A school that has been forgotten after been attacked by missiles, and the students there are transferred to Balamb Garden. The story starts at Balamb Garden, when two students are in training, they're Squall Leonhart and Seifer Almasy, and you can see it at the opening FMV, where a Gunblade falls to the ground, followed by a fight of Squall and Seifer, but a mysterious sorceress possess Seifer and when Squall is charging to Seifer, Seifer launch a fireball and then slashes Squall thus leaving scar on his face, and please see the FMV yourself.......... ----------------------------------------C H A R A C T E R S------------------------- I sort the characters as the time you get that character !

Let's just say 62 for example, read it from the back and add 0 on the last digit, so it means if it's 62, enter the number from the back, 2, then 6, then 0. You will be able to enter the mansion now, talk to Rinoa, until you know that Caraway is actually her father !. After a quite long event, you will divide into 2 teams, Sniper Team, Squall and Irvine, will go inside the mansion, and find the rifle, then shoot the Sorceress. The Gateway Team, must go to the Gateway, then trap the sorceress inside the Gateway at 20:00.

Next, you will control Squall, just see that Sorceress Edea is ready to parade then you will be at the President's Mansion. Now you will be back at Quistis, Zell, and Selphie, Quistis will go apologize to Rinoa, but when you gotten back, the auto-lock system is on and Quistis and pals are locked (Rinoa... what a tricky girl...).

Why doesn't the Gerogero saves him ?^_^' Irvine will notice that Rinoa is in there, next Irvine will say that they must enter the mansion, and the screen switches to Quistis and pals. Take a glass from the cupboard, then place it on the statue, a path will open, you now will be at some stairs. Go down the stairs, you will find a platform near the wheel, jump on it then you can see that the parade has started.

Otherwise, it's kinda hard, you need to have Squall with GF Brothers, and irvine as a healer, if Irvine is petrified 'cause of the Magma Breath, then it's a goodbye ! ==================== ******************** ==================== After that you will have some sequence with Rinoa, now go to a hatch you seen before entering this room, open it, then go onto it, then take the rifle, then some FMV, when Squall asks Irvine is he ready to shoot the sorceress or not, Irvine says that he can't, he has a bad feeling, he says he's afraid he will miss. Then the screen will switch back to the underground sewer, equip GFs to Quistis only, other characters if you're at a low level (below 20), because Zell and Selphie can attack strongly, so just Quistis needs to cast a GF, besides, you will need the GFs later for fighting the final boss of disc 1. Oh... this sewer... my worst nightmare, I got lost oftenly there, so I can't guide you here, just find the way yourself because I myself confused, and find the way with my luck. I just want to tell you, don't ever try to keep going if it's a wrong way. You can examine the gear to ride them and go to the other side. Okay next after you have got out from the sewer, you will reach the gateway, just activate the trap, and you will see the sequence. You will be back to the Sniper Team, Irvine says that he can't shoot the sorceress. He is a little nervous, besides, he has a reason why he doesn't want to shoot her, you will know later at disc 2 when you're at Trabia Garden. Squall says just try to shoot, if failed, Squall will go down and fight her, at last, Irvine shoots but missed because of the barrier Edea forms.
