                Game Synopsis 
                 In a time of both 
            sophisticated technology and powerful magic, an evil sorceress 
            corrupts the world's largest military power through manipulation and 
            deception, enslaving mankind to do her bidding. Her goal is not 
            something as simple as world domination; but to completely conquer 
            all of space and time.
  To counter the turn of events, various 
            leaders head combat training schools, known as Gardens, that turn 
            out elite fighting forces. Known as SeeDs, they defend, serve, and 
            protect humankind from the sorceress. The sole purpose of these 
            academies is to vanquish the sorceress and save humanity as we know 
            it, although they take many other assignments for the right 
            price.
  A small, loose-knit group of SeeD graduates find 
            themselves wrapped in a much bigger endeavor than simple military 
            combat. Now, a gunblade specialist, together with a diverse group of 
            young heroes, must set aside his fears, face the emotions he's run 
            from, and become the leader that he never wanted to be.
