Μια απρόκλητη επίθεση...

Μια έφοδος στην καρδιά του εχθρικού τομέα... Μια κήρυξη πολέμου...

Squall Leonhart: ο άνθρωπος που ορμά μέσα στην τρέλα. Η

χωρίς όρια επιμονή του να γίνει ο καλύτερος τον οδηγεί να γίνει

μέλος ενος αποσπάσματος μισθοφόρων ελίτ με το όνομα "SeeD".

Για να περάσει με επιτυχία τις δοκιμασίες του "SeeD", επιλέγει

να υποκινήσει διογκούμενες εχθροπραξίες ανάμεσα στις

γειτονικές χώρες Galbadia και Dollet. Για τον Squall, το χάος του

κόσμου που τον περιβάλλει δεν συγκρίνεται με τον ψυχικό του

αναβρασμό. Η συνάντησή του με την όμορφη και ανεξάρτητη

Rinoa Heartilly ανατρέπει τον καλά οργανωμένο του κόσμο.

Ζήστε την περιπέτεια της ζωής σας. Ξεχαστείτε σε ένα μαγικό

κόσμο μυστηρίου, ρομαντισμού και δολοπλοκιών.

It is a time of war. Galbadia, a Global Superpower, has declared war on Dollet, a country whose training academy is home to two personalities: the hot-headed Seifer and the 'lone wolf', Squall Leonhart. Both are equally at conflict with each other as their country is with Galbadia; to others, Squall appears lacking in team spirit, while Seifer lacks the discipline of his rival. However, a chance encounter with the free-spirited Rinoa Heartilly turns Squall's universe upside down; having thrived on discipline, Squall find the carefree Rinoa fascinating. He also begins to dream that he is Laguna Loire, a Galbadian army soldier…

Meanwhile, a sorceress manipulates the most powerful men in Galbadia.
Will Squall and his party succeed in defeating this maniacal sorceress and saving their world?
What part does the mysterious Laguna play? Only you can decide what happens next, as the greatest Role Playing Adventure of all time returns...## Key Features:
