August 1999 the English version has been launched in my country, Indonesia, and I play it directly, and now writing the FAQ, you can find this FAQ at my website (http://members.xoom.com/prasetia_g/) or Game FAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com/).

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 !

Now get out from the class, on your way out, talk to Instructor Trepe... I mean... Quistis, and then she will wait at the Front Gate and request you to get there when you're ready. Now get out, and on your way to elevator, a girl will run and rammed on you, then she will say that she just been transferred from other garden (Trabia Garden), she doesn't quite know about the ways in Balamb Garden, and she wants you to take her to the map, you can choose either to take her or not.

[Note 1] : Before you have finished Dollet mission, you can use this map to move to parts of garden easily by pressing X ! At the Front Gate, you will see Instructor Trepe... I mean... Quistis there, and she will join you and give you a tutorial. Now please equip Squall with Quezacotl and Quistis with Shiva. You will be at the world map now. Go to the right from Balamb Garden and enter Balamb Town, stock up items there, save your money since you can't get money before you finish Dollet Mission. Now go until you see a cliff with a hole, enter the hole to the Fire Cavern. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Part 2 : The Fire Cavern When you enter the Fire Cavern, Quistis will give you more tutorials, just see and do it if you wish. Now talk to the garden faculties, and then choose the time limit you need, form 10 to 40 mins. choosing less time limit will give you more points for the exams. When you enter the cavern, you need to rush, before the time limit ends, so just ignore any magic stones, keep going until you reach a big rock, then a monster will appear !!! ==================== ********BOSS******** ==================== Name : Ifrit Level : 6 HP : 1068/1068 Draw : Fire, Cure, Scan Weakness : Ice elemental attacks (Shiva) AP Gained : 20 Strategy : First, have Quistis charges Shiva, and let Squall get hit by Ifrit, don't use Quezacotl, just wait until Quistis casts Shiva, then charge it again, just let Squall get hit, don't attack, until Squall's HP reached less than 150, push Circle repeatedly until you see the sign > next to the attack, push right, do the Renzokuken, see how many triggers are there, first, push R1 when the light reaches the TRIGGER box, and see if it's the last light, press R2, and Squall will do Rough Divide (or anything if Squall have got the next weapon), just repeat that until Ifrit dies, and you can recruit him as a G.F. Monster. ==================== ******************** ==================== ___________________________ |========================== | |------G.F. Monster 3------ | |========================== | |Name : Ifrit | |Level : 1 | |HP : 305/305 | |Elemental : Fire | |Attack : Hell Fire | |___________________________| After you get Ifrit, just get out without a time limit, and go back the garden, at the Front Gate, Instructor.... oh.... Quistis will leave you and give order to change at the Dormitory and then go to the lobby, just go to the Dormitory, check the desk, and change to a uniform, then go to the lobby, you will see Quistis, then after a short chit-chat, there is an FMV of a wrestler (I think ^_^), he is Zell, Zell Dincht, and he will join you, after that, Seifer will come with Fujin and Raijin, after a short chit-chat, the greatest person at Balamb Garden will come..... he is....... Cid Krammer, the Headmaster !! He will explain something, and then go follow Seifer, to the Parking Lot, and you will be brought to the world map with a car, how to drive a car, see the CONTROL section. Just drive the car to Balamb Town, and then to the harbour, and ride the vessel, and to the next part. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Part 3 : The Dollet Mission In the ship, you will meet the guide, Xu, and she will explain your mission, Seifer will join you this time, but not for later, here are the best equipped G.F. : Squall-Ifrit, Zell-Quezacotl, Seifer-Shiva. After Xu finished explains that, you will see an FMV, see it yourself since I don't want to spoil your game (maybe sometimes I spoiled it without knowing it ^_^). After the FMV, you will get down at Dollet shore, just follow Seifer anywhere, Seifer will help you in battle this time, all the stocked magics to Seifer will be stocked to Selphie later when you get her. Oooops.... overtalks.... but I think it's okay since you will get Selphie soon ^_^. Now on every fight with the soldiers, use Quezacotl for quick victory, since all the soldiers and mechs are weak to lightning (except some soldiers), keep following Seifer and battling enemies you meet, wanna see Seifer's limit break ? Try it yourself, I haven't tried it. When Seifer stops, take the road to upright, then you will see a soldier comes, fight him, after that, talk to Seifer, then just wait until Seifer has a business with a dog ^_^;. After that, some soldiers will go to the bridge, Seifer will follow 'em, just follow Seifer, until you see some stairs, you will see a soldier is on ground and he says that there is a monster, and then you will hear a sound and you must fight a BOSS ==================== ********BOSS******** ==================== Name : Anacondaur Level : 7 HP : 1178/1178 Draw : Fire, Cure Weakness : Ice elemental attacks AP Gained : 4 Strategy : Just use Shiva, and have Squall with the magic command, casts Blizzard/Blizzara If you're in danger, use Cure, but not with Squall, just use Renzokuken and then Rough Divide if you're in danger, Zell's duel moves will cause much damage to this boss, too ! After you defeat it, it will appear at random battles, but not as tough as this one. ==================== ******************** ==================== After you defeated the Anacondaur, keep going up to the stairs, to the Radio Tower, then there is a cliff, hide backwards the rocks and you will see two soldiers going in, then after Seifer leaves, you will see an FMV, a girl (who rams you at the Garden) is going down to the cliff where you're standing on, she says that she has a message for Squad B captain from Quistis, but Seifer has ran off the tower, so she will join you, yeah, she is Selphie, all the magics Seifer has stocked will be stocked on Selphie, so if you think it's useless to stock magics to Seifer, you're wrong ! Now after that, Selphie will jump down the cliff, you can choose either jumps on the cliff or just follow Seifer's route (walking), now enter the tower, stock the magic stone, save your game, and go up the elevator, and then you will see the soldier named Biggs will talk to you and fight you ! time for boss ! ==================== ********BOSS******** ==================== Name : Biggs Wedge Elvoret Level : Biggs : 7 Wedge : 9 Elvoret : 7 HP : Biggs : 610 Wedge : 608 Elvoret : 2667 Draw : Biggs : Fire, Thunder, Blizzard, Esuna Wedge : Fire, Thunder, Blizzard, Cure Elvoret : Thunder, Cure, Double, Siren (G.F.) Weakness : Elvoret : Wind elemental attacks AP Gained : 18 Strategy : First you will only fight Biggs, then after a little time Wedge will come, and then you must kill one of them or both of them, the fastest way is using G.F., after one of the dies, a wave will appear and then Elvoret appears, Elvoret is weak to Wind elemental, if ou have Aero magic, use it, if you don't have, just attack with G.F.s Don't forget to acquire Siren ! ==================== ******************** ==================== ___________________________ |========================== | |------G.F. Monster 4------ | |========================== | |Name : Siren | |Level : 3 | |HP : 391/391 | |Elemental : Holy/Silent | |Attack : Silent Voice | |___________________________| After you have defeated Elvoret, Seifer will come and Selphie will say that Squad A must go to the shore where Quistis is at 700 hour. So it means your time is only 30 minutes, now go down, and Biggs will call a mech, then on your way, a crab-like mech ill be on your way, you must fight it ! ==================== ********BOSS******** ==================== Name : X-ATM 092 Level : 7 HP : ????/???? Draw : Fire, Blizzard, Cure, Protect Weakness : Lightning elemental attacks AP Gained : 50 Strategy : This battle is an unique one, you must drop the BOSS HP about 1500 + and it will lost consciousness, push L2+R2 to run away when it's unconsciousness, he will after you on your way, so run away as fast as you can, if you fight it again, repeat the method. ==================== ******************** ==================== After you reach the shore, you will see an FMV of Quistis shoots a gatling gun to the mech thus destroying it. Now enter the ship and go back to Balamb Town, after you are there, Seifer will leave first with the car, now take your time for shopping or staying at the inn, now get out, it's better if you rent a car for 3500 Gil, whatever, go back to the garden. At the lobby, you will see Instructor, Headmaster, and Guide... I mean... Quistis, Cid, and Xu. Talk to Cid, then go to the entrance of the library, talk to Seifer, and Cid will come, after a short chit-chat, go to the elevator, and go to the 2nd floor, and wait for a Garden Faculty, and he will call they whom has passed the exam, from Squad B, they're Zell Dincht and Squall Leonhart. Next you will be at headmaster's office, and you will see the passed students, they're Squall, Zell, Selphie, and Nida, after that he will explain what SeeD rules is, and after that, you will be shown your report, and will be given your SeeD Level. Now go back to 2nd floor, and you will see Seifer and the others, they will give an applause to Squall.......... _______________________________________________________________________________________ N E X T U P D A T E : C O M I N G S O O N ---------------------------------C R E D I T S----------------------------------------- 1.
