guardian force (gf)
Guardian Forces are mystical entities (generally beasts of some kind) that can be summoned by their respective keeper to aid in battle. They are commandable, though also autonomous, and are useful to expend when at risk. Often possessing elemental qualities, GFs can be trained to harness useful abilites, which can then be passed on to the keeper. Thus GFs are useful in and out of battle. During Final Fantasy VIII it was revealed that GFs can negatively affect long-term memory - hence how the heroes (excluding Rinoa) did not recognise each other from their childhood at Edea's Orphanage - however, for FFVIII-2, this side-effect no longer remains (Dr. Odine did something or other...).The original GFs are no longer in the possession of SeeD - see:
Synopsis
Instead, cadets and SeeDs may choose to keep a limited
number of new GFs, all monsters/summons from other Final Fantasy games.

important information
- GFs are allocated according to the level of each person's primary character (see Stats System)
- All GFs must be named - they cannot keep their breed name (Ramuh, Mistmare, etc.)
- Unlike in Final Fantasy VIII, GFs can be controlled in battle, and have limit breaks. Interpret the given information on each GF as you wish.
- GFs don't have to be just for battle - you could role play them in a scenario outside battle, perhaps to aid a character in a tricky situation or a social setting.
- GFs are not "owned" and do not have "masters", so bear in mind that they do not like to feel controlled.
