O.O

Winhill has a couple of ex-Garden students that apparently work there! Specifically, the town hired them.

They're located right down the opposite end of the town to the square where Raine's pub is. From their dialog, they're not SeeD, are a fair bit older than Squall and are somewhat surprised when they find out Squall is a SeeD.

Interesting.


Edit: They're Garden dropouts. XD

Edit 2: I went back and talked to them again... one of them - the one in a student uniform (they're wearing Garden uniforms) - says something about an "undercover benefactor" to the town. That has me curious now.

( I even screencapped it )

I suddenly have this idea in mind that somehow Laguna has found a way to help Winhill, even if he's stuck in Esthar.

I also got another cap of the ( Kick the Chicobo! game... )

It's actually another shock of Squall getting kicked - one where he's airbourne.

Also found out something extra, if you go back to that Chocobo crossing after playing "Kick the Chicobo", the Chicobo is back, but it avoids the team when they cross the crossing.

Save me?

Help! The plotbunnies refuse to leave me alone!

Someone tell me not to try write a fanfic? If I try I'll probably never get it finished!

Pointless Commentary...

FF8 fanon usually dumps the job of Headmaster on Squall - eventually - but I think that's wrong. There's line in the scene where Cid anounces Squall's promotion to Commander that said something about administration stuff being handled by him and the normal staff but Squall would be in charge of battle planning and such.

So basically, the idea that Squall is totally in charge is wrong. In more peaceful times I can imagine he'd be on whatever committee decides to accept contracts, probably gets information on admissions and is part of deciding who graduates too, but absolutely everything? No, I don't think so.

I mostly latched onto this because even before I played the game I suspected this was more like how administration of Garden would be divided up - instead of Squall having to do every-fucking-thing - and now I have at least one clue that suports it.

Garden Inconsistencies

The more I play this game the more annoyed I get at Rinoa. This time round I had her on Squall's team when everyone split up after D-District so the spot where I just saved it, she's just pestered him into giving her a tour of the Garden.


( And while I'm on the subject of Garden... )

Edit: Interesting little discovery, if one goes to the library during Rinoa's tour, Squall gets to see Ellone. She's kinda sad he doesn't remember her.
