Detailed description: 0:00 - Game Load 0:05 - Balamb Garden Squall resumes in his Dormitory Single in Balamb Garden. Squall has the GFs Quezacotl and Ifrit junctioned; Zell has Brothers, Carbuncle, and Leviathan; and Rinoa has Shiva, Siren, and Diablos. Quistis and Zell swap junctions. Squall rests. Squall leaves his room (1:24). He reexplores floor 1F. In the Cafeteria, he talks to the western Cafeteria Lady (2:19). She thanks him for finding her wandering son. Too bad there's no reward, such as a lifetime supply of hot dogs for Zell. The party's SeeD Level drops to 11, and they earn 9,000 gil. Squall takes the elevator to the 2F Hallway (9:16). He reexplores floor 2F. Irvine can be found in the back portion of the Classroom. The party earns a SeeD Level 11 salary of 9,000 gil. Squall takes the elevator to floor 3F (11:34). In the Headmaster's Office proper, he takes the lift up to the bridge (11:50). A scene with Quistis, Xu, and Nida takes place. If you did not talk to Nida outside the Infirmary while hunting for the Headmaster, he will introduce himself now. These three have things well in hand. Most importantly, Nida will now be serving as the Garden's pilot. Squall gains control after the scene (13:46). He can chat with Quistis and Xu on the bridge. When he is ready to proceed, Commander Squall talks to Nida (14:26). He tells him that he is ready to go. An event takes place. I make a party of Squall, Quistis, and Rinoa. Selphie is not available for the time being. 15:19 - The Sea We gain control of Balamb Garden in the sea near FH, which is south of Balamb. The town of Balamb is the party's next storyline destination. However, much of the world has opened up, and there are many side quests to handle. The party will start with the CC Group Quest in Balamb Garden itself. They return to the bridge. 15:24 - Balamb Garden After chatting with his companions again, Squall takes the lift down from the bridge. The party heads south out of the Headmaster's Office. The party takes the elevator down to floor 1F (16:09). In the Lobby, a Jack of the CC Group will walk through the area (16:34). Squall talked to him in video #037 and heard his introduction after the Garden had started moving. Squall challenges Jack and declines until Jack stops asking to mix FH and Balamb's rules. Then, Squall plays against Jack for real (17:32). Squall wins the game (18:23). Afterwards, Jack tells him about the members of the CC Group. Squall must now find and challenge Club, Diamond, Spade, and Heart in sequence. Joker can be found and challenged at any point in the sequence. Once Squall has defeated all of them, he can look for the King. Zell can sometimes be found in the eastern part of the 1F Hall near the path to the Library. An NPC in the Library talks about a certain weird book. He's probably referring to Occult Fan I, which the party found here in video #001. In the eastern part of the 1F Hall, the party takes the northeast exit to the Training Center. 21:32 - Balamb Garden - Training Center The party saves in the northern screen of the Training Center. In the eastern screen of the Training Center, the Man from Garden vendor has a chance of appearing on the pier. If he does not appear, zone out and return until he does. This is in fact Card Magician Joker of the CC Group. Squall begins challenging Joker and plays a game against him (22:46). Squall wins a game against Joker (24:08). Joker upgrades the Battle Meter with the GF Report function, which displays GF information. Joker also has the Leviathan card, but he plays it rarely. The party saves at the save point in the northern screen and returns to continue playing games against Joker. After a win, the party earns some new cards (26:05): Catoblepas, Tiamat, and Propagator. The party returns to the northern screen to save after a couple of games. Then, they continue challenging Joker in the eastern screen. After a win, the party earns another new card (31:59): BGH251F2. Eventually, the party earns the Leviathan card (35:00). They also earn a Tri-Point card. The party saves at the save point. Then, they leave the Training Center. 36:09 - Balamb Garden The party earns a SeeD Level 11 salary of 9,000 gil. They go to Squall's Dormitory Single in the north to save. In the northern part of the 1F Hall, the party can find Card Knight Club of the CC Group walking through the area (37:43). They can challenge Club after defeating Jack. They begin challenging him to Triple Triad. The first game ends in a draw. However, the party wins the second game against Club (39:36). Next, they must find Diamond. The party saves in Squall's Dormitory Single. In the dining room of the Cafeteria, the party can still listen to the Novice SeeD Candidates discuss how "SaaD" they are. The party earns a SeeD Level 11 salary of 9,000 gil. In the Lobby in the south of the 1F Hall, the party can find Card Princess Diamond of the CC Group (44:07). The are the twin girls that slowly walk north to the directory. Squall can challenge them once they are standing in front of the directory. The first game ends in a draw. The party wins the second game against Diamond (46:39). Next, they must look for Spade. The party goes to Squall's Dormitory Single to save. Too bad the save point in the Lobby has been removed. The party takes the elevator to the 2F Hallway (48:51). They reexplore 2F. The party takes the elevator back down to 1F (52:46). Then, they take it down to B1 (53:00). They do not find anyone, but they can still find the Bio draw point in NORG's machine. The party rides the elevator back to 1F (53:34). Then, they begin riding the elevator between 2F and 1F (53:44). Eventually, the party finds Card Prince Spade of the CC Group near the elevator in the 2F Hallway (54:50). This is the guy that gave Squall his first pack of cards at the start of the game. The party begins challenging him. The first game ends in a draw. However, the party wins the second game (57:09). They acquire the new Ultima Weapon card. Next, they will have to find Card Queen Heart. The party takes the elevator up to floor 3F (58:40). They check out the Headmaster's Office. The party takes the elevator down to the 1F Lobby (59:08). They earn a SeeD Level 11 salary of 9,000 gil. The party saves in Squall's Dormitory Single. Next time, they will wrap up the CC Group Quest. Completing this quest now will pay off well in the late game. Thanks for watching!
