In order to join SeeD, one must train hard at the Balamb Garden and pass the graduation exam. One such teenager dreamed of the chance to join SeeD. Now the fate of the world lies in his hands.

A powerful witch, who existance was thought only to be a myth, has awaken and now threatens the peace which once inhabited the world. Her malevolence and strong magic power were feared, but her presence has received worship and praise.

When Squall is inducted into SeeD, the elite mercenary force of Garden, he attends a dinner party for the new recuits, during which he meets Rinoa. Although they do not reveal their indentities at the party, Squall encounters Rinoa later, and discovers she is the leader of the Forest Owls, a rebel organization fighting against the nation of Galbldia.

The Forest Owls are not very effective in their battles against Galbaldis, despite being assisted by SeeD. All the members of Forest Owls appear to have little concern about the consequences of their actions.

After meeting Rinoa, Squall has a very strange dream, in which he is Laguna Loire, a Galbaldia soldier who would rather be a journalist. In the dream, Laguna is on a mission with Ward and Kiros.

Meanwhile, the nation of Galbaldia has annexed neighboring Dole, and has declared war on the rest of the world. The president of Galbaldia was assisted by the witch Edea. Because it is suspected that Edea is behing the recent Galbaldian actions, Squall is sent on a mission to assasinate her.

Complicating matters is the appearance of Seifer, Squall's lont time rival, at Edea's side. Seifer has two loyal bodyguards, Raijin and Fuujin who will also make Squall's mission harder.
