FFVIII: SeeD Training Exam...

Back with a little more...

Today, I cover the SeeD (seed, not CD) candidate exam. After the fire cave(which was in the last post), Squall gets set to become a SeeD. You meet Zell Dincht. Squall finds out that Seifer is his squad captain. One of the best scenes, is in the truck on the way to Balam town. I think it's funny anyways...

You board the ship and it sets off automatically for Dollet. The FMV is pretty cool in this part of the game. After you get on land, the mission plays out in short spurts. Selphie joins your party and you fight FF staples Biggs and Wedge. Who are then replaced by Evorlet, a really annoying boss. First you have to remember to draw GF Siren. The annoying thing is that at this point your characters are pretty weak. So you have to rely on GF's to beat him, it takes alot of boosting GFs to win, and your finger gets pretty tired.

After you defeat Evorlet you goto the bottom of the tower, you are then attacked by a huge robot. you can defeat this robot, so you have to knock it down with Lightining and then run away. Once you've done this a few times, you get the the beach and get to see one of the many cool FMV's in this game. In this one Quistis blows away the robot with the ship's mounted machine gun!

Once you get back to Balamb Garden, Squall, Selphie, and Zell become SeeDs. I stopped in Squall's dorm, just before the next story part of the game. There sure isn't all that much gameplay at this part of the game. Tomorrow I will get in to the actual "game" and things will start to pick up and I'll have more to write other than a discription of the plot.
