Once all the dialogue has finished, follow Seifer out of the screen and you'll be automatically traveling to your next destination & keep going through all the dialogue. It'll go into a tutorial about his limit break, which I also did on auto since I ran everything on 3x speed so I did not have a lot of time for button inputs. Head back out and go through the dialogue with Quistis to be introduced to another member of your party for the game Zell. Otherwise, select the dormitory (which is to the right of the Cafeteria if you went card hunting) and head to your bed and interact with it to get changed. Reload your save and in the same area as the save point, then interact with the board just to the right of the save point and if you feel like winning some cards, choose the cafeteria and head to the back to challenge either of the Trepie's on the right table. Keep an eye on your timer as well, all in all nothing too profound about this fight, just pound away until you defeat him and Ifrit chooses to join you, fun,
Make sure to utilize Blizzard if you've drawn it at this point, as well as Shiva your GF. Your introductory boss, Ifrit is relatively easy but not something you can cruise control to victory (unless you put on your battle boosters). Keep following the linear path to eventually fight Ifrit. Follow the linear path a few screens until you get one with multiple smaller paths off the main one, on the right side you can find a Fire Draw Point. Head Up towards to the two individuals standing in front of the actual entrance and speak with them, you'll have to pick a time (a shorter time period will result in a better SeeD grade so pick 10 minutes which should be more than enough anyway).

To the right of Balamb Garden is a forest, and on the other side of the forest, you can see a cavern entrance, go near to enter the Fire Cavern.Īt the entrance, you'll be given a tutorial on how to junction magic to stats (assuming your GF has learned the appropriate junction) as well as a review on your gunblade during combat which I also recommend, for the record I just did auto since I had the game on 3x speed almost always anyways. Head exit down to arrive at the world map. After the tutorial make sure to equip your GF to both Squall and Quistis making sure to take Draw, and constantly draw magic from enemies as it works towards an achievement. Keep heading downish to find Quistis who will give a shortish tutorial in Junctioning GF which I would highly recommend paying attention to. Make sure you are drawing magic at every opportunity throughout the game as it works towards an achievement. Go through the dialogue until Squall stands up, but instead interact with the console you're standing at, turn on the power and select tutorial to receive your two first guardian forces (from hereon out I will refer to them as GF) Shiva and Quezacotl so be sure to equip them as well as you earn your two first achievements.
Iit'll transition nicely into a cutscene showing you Balamb Garden. Afterwards, walk to the bottom of the screen and talk with Quistis. Keep pounding through the dialogue (remember to utilize 3x speed by pressing ) until the next cutscene that introduces you to your instructor and another member of your party called Quistis.

For the sake of the walkthrough, the main character's name will be Squall but feel free to rename the character to whatever you feel like. After the cutscene ends you'll awaken in an infirmary, go through the dialogue until you're asked for your name.
Enjoy watching the opening cutscenes where you'll see a gunblade duel happening, as well as be shown some key characters in FF8.
