Weapon: Gunblade

Squall is an expressionless and distant teenager studying in the military and academic areas of Balamb Garden. An extremely gifted and apt student, Squall hopes to join the elite SeeD forces by passing the entrance test along with his companions. Squall is most likely the rigid man standing in the game's logo. Will Squall open up emotionally in a game with "love" as one of the major themes?

Weapon: Blaster Edge

Rinoa is described as a pleasant, empathetic young woman who tends to be a tad shy at times. Her strength of character and spirit are firm, however. Joining the other characters, she is believed to be a candidate for SeeD. Rinoa is almost unmistakably the female character embracing the man in the game's logo.

Weapon: Gloves

Zell is a spunky and exuberant Garden student attempting membership for SeeD along with his friends. Unfortunately, his enthusiasm sometimes gets the better of him, and he may spout of words he later regrets. Zell's grandfather was reportedly a famous soldier, and Zell strives to match that image.

Weapon: Gunblade

Seifer is a serious, grim man who shares a deep rivalry with Squall. For reasons unknown (and speculated broadly), Seifer seems to have an intense dislike for Squall and tries to prove his superiority whenever possible. Both men share a scar on their foreheads, obtained from a training session duel where Seifer pulled the trigger on the Gunblade. Squall reacted and pulled at the same time, supposedly from shock.

Weapon: Nunchaku

Selphie was recommended for SeeD. She is a good fighter with a child-like heart. Squall and Selphie are just classmates and they have no romantic relationship at all.

Name: Quistis Trepe

Age: 18

Height: 172 cm

Weapon: Chain Whip

Quistis seems to have a very troubled past. She grew up on the streets until she was 10, and then she was brought to Garden somehow. Excelling among her classmates, she joined SeeD at the age of 15. She is now a teacher at garden after only 8 years of being there. Quistis is Squalls teacher, but she has been seen in a few pics actually coming onto Squall!!! Squall, the strange person that he is said he didn't want anything to do with her. She knows blue magic, and uses it as her special attack. Whether this is the same as enemy skill as in other FF games is not known.
