This is a quick quide to acing every SeeD exam from levels 1-30. I posted this here mostly for myself as a quick reference with the steam overlay. This way -you- also don't have to tab in and out if you're doing what I'm doing. I'm a huge fan of this game, and I recently (before it came to steam. Quite honestly less than two weeks ago) began to play the PC version. When that didn't work I went over to my parent's place and found my old Ps1 copy of the game. (I almost had a heart attack when I saw this release.)

Anyway, I don't expect any credit for this.. It's all common game knowledge and even still; You can go out of your own way if you feel obligated and search the web for the 12+ guides posted there. Seriously, common knowledge. You don't even really -need- the guide.

Enjoy!

(P.s. If I managed to accidentally have a wrong answer, please let me know. I'll update it accordingly. Just make sure you have proof the answer was incorrect. I don't feel like rushing -everything- in the game to hit 30 to find out for myself.)

Slight Edit: Everyone is capable of running the Ifrit dungeon in 10 minutes following one simple rule.

Run like a coward.

If you avoid all other confrontation in the dungeon (And all draw points) (By using the "Flee" buttons" in combat) and head straight for Ifrit at the end of it you have about 7-7:25 to defeat Ifrit. If you use the special "Draw Boost" in the menu, it shaves about two minutes off of the confrontation. Spam use Shiva on Squall and otherwise have Quistis do basic attacks (If you didn't use the Draw Booster in the start menu.) If you -did- use the "Draw Booster" use the most potent ice spell you should have from it on Quistis (Junctioning the remaining GF to her before leaving the school) while Squall uses Shiva. Quistis can get two-three ice attacks off between Shiva summons.

My quickest time was 5:22 (Time remaining)
From Fellow Players
This is a section devoted to tips in regards to maximizing your SeeD potential!

The game doesn't pause while using the steam overlay. Because of this, you can use a controller to breeze through the answers in moments. It saves a lot of time not having to tab back and forth when you're ranking up. - @ModSquad

(This is compiled from two players.)
When completeting the fire dungeon, you will get a higher score the lower your remaining time is.
Your conversation with Quistis (fire cave) and your team (Dollet) make a difference. Be a team player; Don't be a snarky ass (As squall usually is)
Seifer is the captain in charge of your group. Sorry, but that's just how it is. Don't be a Zell about it.
Don't stay in a hotel room
Don't go into any store in Dollet
Try to avoid the robot as often as possible (Total minimum encounters possible: 1)

I mean, probably.

iirc, killing the robot (not knocking it down and running but actually reducing it's hp to 0 which is doable, but tough) awards bonus points to your SEED rank. I remember something in the official guide from prima (i think) about it.

I come back and check every now and again.

Sure. Nice to see people still keeping up with guides for older games.
Puds  [author] 11 Aug, 2019 @ 9:43pm 
Thanks @no1schmo. I will update this now.

Not my footage, but a quick YouTube search turns up this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH0iNjlwjjE

Do you have recorded evidence to support your adjustment? I would be happy to edit the post upon review. I myself have only ever managed (with quick and precise movements) to keep it to 3.

"Try to avoid the robot as often as possible (Total minimum encounters possible: 3)"
Actually, it's 1.

@vexile I dunno what to tell ya dude. Sorry for the super late response, but I didn't even notice it was here... Uh.......................... You don't need any disks to play on steam. Given it's been nearly a year I'd wager maybe you figured it out.
Vexile 15 Aug, 2018 @ 8:27pm
