| '''Seifer''' is a minor character in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', who resides in [[Twilight Town]]. He is the leader of the [[Twilight Town Disciplinary Committee]], composed of his friends [[Fuu]], [[Rai]], and [[Vivi]]. He shares a rivalry with [[Hayner]] and his gang and often picks fights with them. He originally appeared in ''{{ff|Final Fantasy VIII}}''.

| ==Story==
| |
| ===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===
| |
| Seifer is briefly mentioned by [[Pence]], who claims that Hayner is upset because Seifer beat his record at [[Grandstander]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
| |
| Seifer is the leader of [[The Other Twilight Town]]'s Disciplinary Committee and becomes a rival of [[Roxas]]. When [[Dusk]]s invade the simulation and steal photos of Roxas from around the town, Seifer accuses Roxas as the thief, and the two have a brief duel in the sandlot. Two days later, Seifer and his gang help Roxas fight off several Dusks and claim their victory when the creatures vanish. During the [[Struggle]] Tournament, Seifer makes it to the semi-finals and competes against Vivi. When Vivi manages to defeat him, Seifer realizes that it is not really his friend, and advises Roxas to "thrash him." While on Sunset Hill, he confronts Roxas's group. He wonders why looking at Roxas ticks him off. Roxas posits that it's destiny, to which Seifer sarcastically replies that they should be friends, as he does not want to cooperate with destiny.

|
| In the real Twilight Town, Seifer is the current standing Struggle champion. Coinciding with [[Sora]]'s return visit to the town, Seifer and his gang are set upon by Dusks. Unable to harm them, Seifer, Rai, and Fuu are knocked unconscious while Vivi runs for help. After Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] defeat the [[Nobody|Nobodies]], Seifer awakens and orders Sora to leave town, blaming him for causing trouble. However, he stops Sora before he can leave the sandlot and gives him [[Seifer's Trophy]], honoring him as the strongest person in town.
| | == Kingdom Hearts II == |
| | Seifer Almasy is an antagonist originally from the world of Final Fantasy VIII. Like some of the Final Fantasy characters already present in the [[Kingdom Hearts]] series, he appears a younger than his original portrayal. This Seifer also stems from the Kingdom Hearts universe, so he does differ to the Seifer Almasy of FFVIII, though they are essentially the same character. |
|
| |
|
| Sometime later, he is seen competing in the Struggle again, this time against Hayner.
| | === Apearence and Personality === |
| | Seifer's clothes are slightly based on FFVIII's original version, but redesigned to match with his age and new style, that includes a beanie with the "Ore" kanji (which is a distinctly masculine and sometimes vulgar way of refering to oneself). The scar [[Squall]] gave him in FFVIII is also shown in the game. In Kingdom Hearts 2, Seifer's gunblade "Hyperion" is replaced with a practice staff which he uses for all battles. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
| | His personality is also very similar to the Final Fantasy version: he's cocky, sarcastic and a self-proclaimed protector of order (even if he's only trying to make people follow his own rules). |
| Seifer is absent from Twilight Town when Sora, Donald, and Goofy first arrive; chatter from the townsfolk reveal that he has departed on a "warrior's journey" with Fuu and Rai.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Design== | | === Game Role === |
| Seifer is a muscular teenage boy with blonde hair and teal eyes, bearing a distinctive diagonal scar across the bridge of his nose. He wears a blue crop-top vest with white lining under a floor-length, sleeveless white coat with a black lapel. He has baggy, aubergine pants belted with cream-colored lace, which he tucks into black combat boots with light blue laces. His hair is barely visible beneath a black {{w|knit cap}} with the "Ore" kanji (which is a distinctly masculine and sometimes vulgar way of referring to oneself; the backward kanji also stands for battle).
| | He is the leader of the simulated [[Twilight Town]]'s Disciplinary Committee (a reference to FFVIII Balamb Garden's Disciplinary Committee) which includes his followers Raijin and Fujin from FFVIII who are known in KHII as [[Raijin|Rai]] and [[Fujin|Fuu]] as well as [[Vivi]] from FFIX. |
|
| |
|
| ==Personality==
| | He appears to be a rival of [[Roxas]], always bad-mouthing him (he calls Roxas a chicken-wuss the same way he usually did with Zell Dintch in FVIII) and picking fights with him and his friends. He is also the town's Champion for the [[Struggle]] Tournament in Twilight Town. He can be considered one of [[Twilight Town]]'s two bosses alongside [[Axel]]. |
| Seifer outwardly appears to be very brash, rude, taunting and sarcastic. He is the self-proclaimed protector of order in Twilight Town, deciding for himself who is out of line and ready to pick a fight to make his point. However, though he often acts like a bully, he is shown to truly care about his town and can show respect to strangers when he sees fit. His digital incarnation even shows altruism toward his rivals, offering to help Roxas and his gang finish their summer report.

| |
|
| ==Origin==
| | In the real Twilight Town, when he meets [[Sora]], [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] later in the game, he treats them like Roxas in the illusion Twilight Town. But when they save him and his gang from trouble, he gave them the Struggle Trophy, a sign of great respect. Seifer can also be fought in a Struggle battle after beating both [[Hayner]] and [[Setzer]] ten times each. |

| {{ff|Seifer Almasy}} is a classmate of {{ff|Squall Leonhart}} in ''Final Fantasy VIII'', as well as his chief rival. Like Squall, Seifer is one of very few people to wield a Gunblade, his model called the Hyperion. Leader of the {{ff|Disciplinary Committee|Balamb Garden Disciplinary Committee}}, he is close friends with fellow students {{ff|Raijin}} and {{ff|Fujin}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| Seifer originally trains to become a {{ff|SeeD}} member alongside Squall but is unable to make the cut due to his rash attitude and rebellious nature. He later becomes a regular antagonist/anti-hero after being swayed by the main antagonist, the Sorceress known as {{ff|Ultimecia}}, as it is his "romantic dream" to become a Sorceress's Knight. However, he later realizes his wrongdoings and redeems himself. | | === Trivia === |
| | * Seifer's cameo received some criticism from fans, especially for his out-of-character quote "That was undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers". |
| | * He was voiced by Takehito Koyasu (Pist Shaz XI in Final Fantasy Unlimited)in Japanese version and Will Friedle (Ron Stoppable of the Kim Possible franchise) in the North American release. |
|
| |
|
| Seifer's derogatory nickname for {{ff|Zell Dincht}} ("chicken wuss") is used in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' as his nickname for Roxas, and his position as the head of Twilight Town's Disciplinary Committee reflects his ''Final Fantasy'' counterpart being the head of the Balamb Garden Disciplinary Committee. During the Struggle, Seifer's battle stance pays homage to his stance with his Gunblade. Although he and Squall are enemies in their original game, they never meet or even see each other in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, despite retaining the scars they gave each other.
| | === Battle Quotes === |
| | * At battle start: "Kneel, loser!" |
| | * When not attacked for some time: "Don't leave me hanging now!" |
| | * When performing "Bloodfest", a technique where he leaps in the air and comes down hard: "Isn't this ROMANTIC!" |
| | * When doing "Demon Slice", a spinning attack: "So long!" |
