[http://witchesreign.dreamwidth.org/profile Here.] Characters find themselves in Balamb Garden twenty-one years after the events of [[Final Fantasy VIII]]. Thanks to the sorceress Ultimecia's attempts to make time one single moment, people from different worlds were drawn into the unnamed world of FFVIII thanks to the resulting "Time Compression."
As either Cadets, Instructors, or SeeDs, characters are expected to learn the rigors and rules of a top-notch mercenary organization and accordingly work with it until they can find a way back to their homeworlds. That, however, is much easier said than done.
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Degree in Useless]]: Averted: every major (even the less physically-dependent ones like Intelligence) is important in some way.
* [[Academy of Adventure]]: Even without the shenanigans of time compression, Garden teaches kids how to use magic and mystical forces as well as the usual [[Spy School]] fare.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Class Trip]]: While Garden is on break in Esthar, students are invited to the presidential palace and to Odin's laboratory.
* [[Competence Zone]]: Subverted. The minimum age for taking the SeeD field exam is 15, which many of the younger kids, heroes or deadly assassins in their own canons, are not impressed with. The maximum age for attaining SeeDship is 25, but the Headmaster seems to have turned a blind eye to several of the older characters, and some of the immortals are outright lying about their ages.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Barnaby considers Pinkie Pie one.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: [[Final Fantasy VIII|Seifer]]-mun's reaction towards everything. Including you.
* [[Elaborate University High]]: Balamb Garden, reprising its role from its home series.
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Food Fight]]: During the superpowers event, fuelled by Zephyr's sudden ability to generate baked goods and Kiden's sudden invisibility.
* [[Fundraiser Carnival]]: Subverted: The carnival was originally just part of homecoming, but then the Garden Festival Committee decided to give the funds to charity.
* [[Guest Fighter]]: [[DC Comics|Impulse]] holds a superhero party, attended mostly by the DC and [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] casts, but also [[Alternate Universe|Miracle]] [[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya|Mikuru]], [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** Played with when ''enemies'' from other worlds start turning up and destroying things... including [[Com Mons]] from [[
* [[Gym Class Hell]]: Jecht's swimming class.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: [[Sonic the Comic|Espio]] goes through one when he sees his home reality implode.
* [[High School Dance]]: Valentine's and homecoming dances are added to the graduation ball returning from the original game.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Sharpay breaks curfew to have a New Year's countdown with Tom, and clears out the secret area to do so by telling everyone off for breaking curfew.
* [[Informed Judaism|Informed Islam]]: Subverted with [[Batman|Damian Razem]]. Although he seems like a Muslim who's more show than tell, his constant use of Arabic and subtle obedience towards his religion indicates that he's more than just talk.
* [[Instant Fanclub]]: That same NPC [[Girl Posse]] happen to be Trepies, and also think [[Hot Teacher|Snow]] is quite good-looking.
* [[Is That A Challenge]]: By Mewtwo to Bulla, quoting [[Pokémon:
* [[Leaning
* [[Military Superhero]]: Played straight for any of the characters from either the [[DC Comics|DC Universe]] or [[Marvel Comics|Marvel Universe]], as they're superheroes who have graduated or will graduate and work for Garden as part of its mercenary force.
* [[Mistaken for Pregnant]]: Espio leaves his turnip stash in Marco's dorm room without telling him; Marco leaps to the conclusion that it is a message from Grell in vegetable language.
* [[The Napoleon]]: [[Invader Zim|Zim,]] since his classmates are mostly normal-human-sized... and he ran into [[Final Fantasy XIII|Snow]] not long after enrolling.
* [[Next Sunday
** [[Reality Subtext]]: Until the game's move to Dreamwidth, when the characters receive wireless-capable laptops and much of the world outside Garden also gets a technological upgrade.
* [[Organization
* [[Papa Wolf]]: [[One Piece|Marco]]. Another reason you don't mess with Tobias.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Characters applied as SeeDs have at least a year of handwaved history within the setting, and including CR in this handwave is an option.
* [[School Play]]: The drama classes put one on every quarter, having so far performed ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' set in the first Sorceress War {{smallcaps|WITH LASERS!}} and ''[[Cats]]''.
* [[Shipper
* [[Standard Status Effects]]: The subject of an entire event within the game.
* [[Subject 101]]
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
** [[Mind Over Matter]]: Cid Raines.
** [[Prehensile Hair]]: Goose.
** [[Playing
** [[Super Speed]]: Danny again.
** [[Super Strength]]: Danny again; Tavros gets Equius'.
** [[Time Stands Still]]: Zuko gets [[Blessed
** [[Winged Humanoid]]: Rinoa gets stuck with the wings from her Angel Wing Limit Break ''all the time''.
** [[X
* [[Teacher
* [[Thanksgiving Episode]]: Danny invites people to celebrate it with him at the last minute.
* [[Timey
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Garden at large and baked goods.
** Espio has an obsession with turnips. He'll eat them, hoard them, steal them, talk to them, threaten people with them and generally takes it to a ridiculous level. Even the Headmaster has noticed that he loves the things.
* [[Two
* [[Welcome Back, Traitor]]: Seifer, after the entire events of [[Final Fantasy VIII]], had no trouble getting back into the Garden and resuming his classes. Not everyone has welcomed him, though.
* [[Youth Is Wasted
