Final Fantasy VIII: The Lost FMV Scene

I was Squall. Neato! Only I was on a pretty boring mission, as I seemed to be wandering aimlessly around a large grocery store late at night. (This is something my friends and I do quite frequently.) However, things got interesting in the cereal isle... Hearing a rumbling sound, I looked up only to see a huge Cocoa Puffs tsunami! It washed over me, knocking me off my feet.

I was just fine after it passed, though, and the Cocoa Puffs rolled away somewhere. After that, I wandered about on my own until I came to a door I hadn't noticed before. Opening it, I peered through the library at Western Michigan University. Surprised that the two buildings were connected, I went to find the rest of my party. One of the stairs was worn smooth and I slipped on it.

Anyway, I finally found Zell and someone else (I really can't remember who; it was either Irvine or Selphie) and told them about the library. I lead them back to show them, but couldn't find the door again. Frustrated, I wandered up some stairs and into a white hallway that looked like it belonged in an office building. We came across Seifer sitting on a low blue couch in the hall.

At this point reality sort of shifted and I was half Squall and half standing in front of the TV watching the game being played. (It was REALLY weird.) Anyway, Seifer seemed to be asleep, so I/Squall approached him. However, suddenly he grabbed me/him, holding his gunblade to my/his neck, and warning the rest of my party to keep away.

This scene was an FMV, and I remember thinking, "Hey, I never got this FMV when I played the game!" It was also really interesting because Seifer actually talked. He seemed to be voiced by James Woods, the guy who played General Hein in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. ^_^*
