At
the forefront of a rising tide of violence brought on by Galbadia's war
declaration is a SeeD cadet named Squall Leonhart. Serious to a fault,
Squall ha earned himself the reputation of being a lone wolf. A chance
encounter with the free-spirited Rinoa Heartilly, however, turns his
universe down. Having thrived on discipline, Squall finds Rinoa's
carefree attitude fascinating. Yet there is no time to ponder these
thoughts, for the job of dealing with the sorceress behind Galbdaia's
irrational hostility has fallen to SeeD and Squall.
