Square Co., Ltd.'s computer role-playing game Final Fantasy VIII dealt with the activities of an elite group of mercenaries called SeeDs.
Main playable charactersSquall Leonhart
Squall Leonhart (スコール・レオンハート Sukōru Reonhāto) is a young student at Balamb Garden, recognised by most for the scar by his left eye given to him by Seifer. He does not talk much and has the reputation of being a lone wolf. As Squall's story progresses, he falls in love with Rinoa; the two become a main focal point in the game. Squall is also characterized by forlorn memories of standing out in the rain at the orphanage where he grew up, wondering where "Sis" (an older girl he saw as a sister-figure) went. Squall uses a weapon called a Gunblade, which is essentially a sword with a revolver built into it; the barrel forms the spine of the single-edged blade. This weapon deals extra damage if the player squeezes the controller's R1 trigger button while attacking. His Limit Break, a series of sword attacks called Renzokuken, can be similarly enhanced.Rinoa Heartilly
Rinoa Heartilly (リノア・ハーティリー Rinoa Hātirī) is the lead female character in Final Fantasy VIII, the 17-year-old daughter of General Caraway, a high-ranking officer in the Galbadian army, and Julia Heartilly, a successful pianist and singer. Rinoa is a member of the Forest Owls, a small resistance faction seeking to liberate the small nation of Timber from Galbadian occupation. Rinoa first meets Squall Leonhart, the male protagonist of the game, at a ball at Balamb Garden, where she manages to charm—albeit somewhat aggressively—the usually taciturn and unfriendly Squall into dancing with her. Her purpose for visiting the Garden is revealed when the Forest Owls hire Squall, Zell Dincht, and Selphie Tilmitt as mercenaries. She stays with them as they are forced to flee Timber, and ends up travelling along with them. In battle, her Combine Limit Break is a combination of attacks from Rinoa and her dog, Angelo. As the story nears completion, she gains a second Limit Break, Angel Wing, that reflects her increased spell-casting powers.Quistis Trepe
Quistis Trepe (キスティス・トゥリープ Kisutisu Turīpu) enrolled at Balamb Garden at the age of ten and joined SeeD at fifteen. Shortly thereafter, she became an instructor for Balamb Garden. At the beginning of the game, she serves as Squall's instructor, assisting him in preparing for his SeeD field exam. However, it is not too long before she is demoted as an instructor because the Garden administration, at the time, felt that she lacked leadership qualities. Later on, however, after administration of the Garden is seized from NORG, Headmaster Cid Kramer reinstates Quistis. Quistis' Limit Break, Blue Magic, allows her to take abilities from items found throughout the game, some of which are extremely potent. For instance, Shockwave Pulsar became the first-ever Final Fantasy attack to break the traditional 9,999-damage ceiling (followed shortly by the Eden Guardian Force).Zell Dincht
Zell Dincht (ゼル・ディン Zeru Din) specializes in martial arts and joined Balamb Garden at the age of 13 to follow in his grandfather's footsteps as a great soldier. He is enthusiastic, high-spirited, and loyal to a fault as he sometimes blurts things out without thinking, and his anger can get the better of him. Zell mainly uses his fists to fight, and his Limit Break, Duel, allow fighting-game-style combo moves.Irvine Kinneas
Irvine Kinneas (アーヴァイン・キニアス Āvain Kiniasu) is a student at Galbadia Garden, referred to as the 'Best Shooter in Garden' due to his sharpshooting abilities. He is also known as a ladies man, and attempts to charm Selphie several times throughout the game (with possible success, depending on one's interpretation of later events). He has, however, been known to lose his cool under extreme pressure. He is also the first to remember that he, Squall, Ellone, Selphie, Quistis, Zell and Seifer all grew up in the same orphanage (the use of GFs are later implicated in the memory loss). His Limit Break, Shot, uses ammunition from the party's Item reserve to inflict damage.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for List of Final Fantasy VIII characters ]
