| | PROBLEMATIC | Seifer Almasy of Final Fantasy VIII |
 | | While Squall is completely complacent, hesitant to take a leadership role, and more of a wallflower than anything else, Seifer thrives on recognition (good or bad), is not reluctant to voice his opinion, and more often than not causes commotion within Garden. |
 | | Seifer provides Squall with a mirror of who he could actually have been had he taken different measures and vice versa - both men are so ingrained in each other that one given decision could decide and deviate the course that their lives could take, which, of course, did happen. |
 | | Seifer can sense Squall's frustration at their idleness during the field exam; Squall knows exactly when Seifer is not himself anymore and has just "become a memory." Even with their turbulent relationship, Seifer and Squall have seemed to developed an awkward kind of brotherhood. |
