Final Fantasy VIII | E4: Chicken Bastard [SeeD Field Exam, Part I]
About this episode
I love battles. I fear nothing. On this god forsaken installment we're playing cards with groupies, assembling protagonists, channeling shōnen energy, swallowing Cid's propaganda, developing a gunblade fetish, stating chicken wuss etymology, being antisocial for test scores, storming a beach, incapacitating soldiers, idling around a fountain, and delivering the best line of the game. Ok then, good luck.
