![]() ![]() Seifer would later forget his past in the orphanage due to the memory loss that using Guardian Forces causes. As he grew up, he became a student at Balamb Garden, where he studied to become a SeeD. From a young age he bullied the other children in the orphanage, especially Zell. He was orphaned after his parents were killed in the Sorceress War and sent to Edea's Orphanage. Seifer was born 18 years prior to the events of Final Fantasy VIII. In the end, Seifer watches the Balamb Garden fly by with a proud smile on his face, hinting he has repented his actions. It could also be argued that he remembers who Edea actually is, as he refers to her as "Matron" right before the second fight against him at the end of disc 2. Seifer is then twisted by the Sorceress' power, and pursues a warped version of his dream: to be a Sorceress Knight. The most obvious example of this is when he storms out of the detention room at Balamb Garden upon hearing that Squall and company were sent on a mission in which they could end up fighting the whole Galbadian Force, possibly with intentions of aiding them. It should be noted that, in spite of Seifer's actions throughout the game, he is not really evil, and is shown to actually care for the party. Other members of Balamb Garden consider them a gang more interested in exercising their "disciplinary" powers than actually keeping students in line. The other committee members are Fujin and Raijin, both of whom are loyal to Seifer and consider themselves a "posse". Ironically, despite his reckless and arrogant nature, Seifer is the head of Balamb Garden's Disciplinary Committee. Seifer's Triple Triad card is also a mirror of Squall's, both having the same numbers, only mirrored. Both men are nigh-equally skilled in using the gunblade however, Seifer's temper and impatience often leaves him losing to Squall. Seifer is a stubborn, arrogant, loud and outspoken rebel, while Squall is a silent, strict follower of duty. The scars are mirror images of each other, with Seifer's pointing up-left (from his point of view) while Squall's points up-right (from his point of view). As aforementioned, both Seifer and Squall have a facial scar inflicted during their duel in the opening sequence. Even though they are rivals, always battling to prove their superiority, they have an unspoken mutual respect for each others prowess in battle. There are many parallels between Seifer and Squall. When they are announced as the only ones who passed the field exam, Seifer is the first amongst the other students to applaud them. The other members in his squad, Squall Leonhart and Zell Dincht, pass. At the beginning of the game, Seifer once again fails the SeeD field exam after his impatient behavior makes him disobey direct orders. Along with Squall, Seifer is the only gunblade specialist in the Garden. Seifer is quite famous around Balamb Garden, and is known for having great skills in battle, but his stubborn, arrogant, reckless, and unpredictable nature has kept him from completing the SeeD exam multiple times. Even their personalities are in direct opposition Seifer's friends, Raijin and Fujin call themselves a "posse," where Squall is more of a loner. Even though they both use a gunblade, their fighting styles are also very different, with Squall wielding his with two hands, whereas Seifer uses his with one. The color scheme of their clothing is opposite, as well as their coat lengths. His chin is square whereas Squall's is more oval. His hair color is light, as opposed to Squall's brown. He also wears a silver chain with a tag around his neck.Īs Squall's rival throughout the game, his appearance is directly opposite in many ways. The cross is Seifer's symbol as much as the angel wings are Rinoa's and the lion is Squall's. Seifer wears a blue vest, with a cross-like design lined in white, a gray coat with an emblem resembling the symbol of the Cross of Saint James on the sleeves, as well as black gloves and boots. Seifer has short blond hair, blue-green eyes, and a scar across his forehead and nose received from Squall as retaliation during a duel. He wields a gunblade, a weapon original to the Final Fantasy franchise. He is the rival of the main character Squall Leonhart and is the mirror image of him in many ways. Seifer Almasy ( Cifer in the German version) is a temporary playable character and one of the main antagonists in Final Fantasy VIII. ![]()
