MINOR FFVIII SPOILERS!

The scenes you might have missed in Trabia Garden:

1. Make sure to explore the whole location before going to the basketball court. You can witness some optional scenes this way, with Selphie talking to her friend, speaking about her dream at the cemetery and comforting some children. If you interact with the large computer screen, Selphie’s personal information will be displayed. Some players reported that her profile appeared only briefly before the computer stopped working, while other players got a scene in which Selphie runs to the computer and turns it off herself. I really don’t know what this depends on.

(...anyway, I think that Selphie>selfie.......I remember being very disappointed when I found out that people around me were not talking about her....I thought they knew the game when I first heard the expression.....oh well :) ) 

2. Irvine always throws a ball in the basketball court. However, depending on the number of battles won in total, the result is different:

less than 200 wins - the ball will miss the basket

200-249 wins - the ball passes through the basket

250 and more wins - the ball turns in the hoop before getting through the basket

Trabia.

Balamb Garden, if not Trabia and Galbadia as well, is run off a nuclear reactor. No one is permitted to use the water in the Quad nor the central area even though the usable levels are completely safe - for everyone’s protection it is expressly forbidden and you can very likely get expelled/court-martialled for swimming in them.

Little is publicly known about how each of the Gardens function, what supplies their energy, and so it’s a close-guarded secret as to how to actually get to the reactor itself in B-Garden. Only certain high-ranking faculty know how to access it; these are also the individuals that perform maintenance and repairs on it.

Trabia didn’t much communicate it’s building specs to the world, but one can safely assume that either its reactor was buried immensely deep underground or it doesn’t use nuclear power considering the missile strike on the base.

I titled it Gysahl Garden because I couldn’t think of anything witty :|

Do you say Gal-bad-ia or Gal-bade-ia?

How about Ba-lamb or Bal-omb/Ba-lohm?

Tray-bia or Trah-bia?

Or even neither! Tags or reblog chatter’s fine :D
