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.


''Self-appointed head of the "Twilight Disciplinary Committee."''
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 the [[Struggle Trophy]], honoring him as the strongest person in town.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
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).
Seifer is the leader of the [[Simulated Twilight Town]]'s Disciplinary Committee which includes his followers Rai, Fuu, and Vivi.
 
He appears to be a rival of [[Roxas]], always calling him a chicken-wuss and picking fights with him and his friends. He is also the town's Champion for the [[Struggle]] Tournament in Twilight Town. Seifer is the first evidence of a malfunction in the virtual world by how when he taunts Roxas it appears slow and strange. He can be considered one of Twilight Town's two bosses alongside [[Axel]]. In the digital Twilight Town, Hayner, Vivi, and Setzer can only be fought once. Seifer, however, can be fought an infinite number of times.
 
In the real Twilight Town, when he meets [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] later in the game, he treats them like Roxas in the simulated Twilight Town. However, when they save him and his gang from trouble, he gives 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.
 
==Appearance==
Seifer's clothes are slightly based on ''Final Fantasy VIII'''s original version, but redesigned to match with his age and new style, that includes a black [[wikipedia:tuque|tuque]] with the "Ore" kanji (which is a distinctly masculine and sometimes vulgar way of referring to oneself; the backwards kanji also stands for battle). He wears a blue crop-top vest with white lining underneath a floor-length white jacket. This jacket resembles the one he wore in ''Final Fantasy VIII'', though it lacks sleeves and the red crosses it originally had. He has baggy, aubergine colored pants, with the legs tucked into black combat boots with light blue laces. Seifer's eyes are blue-green and his hair, partially visible under his hat, is blond. The scar [[Squall|Leon]] gave him in ''Final Fantasy VIII'' is also shown in the game, and it is the mirror of Leon's. It is unclear why Seifer has the scar here. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Seifer's gunblade "Hyperion" is replaced with a Struggle Bat which he uses for all battles, but wields it in a similar stance to how he wielded Hyperion.


==Personality==
==Personality==
Seifer appears as very brash, rude, and taunting. He signifies himself as the "protector of the town". Seifer's personality contrasts in small ways from his personality in ''Final Fantasy VIII'' where he played as Leon's rival. His personality is is more childish and a lot more brash than in his ''Final Fantasy'' version. This is probably reflective of his age. Although he often seems like a bully, he is shown to care about the town and is nice to Roxas or Sora when he sees fit.
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.
 
Seifer often makes allusions to his character in ''Final Fantasy VIII''. For example, Seifer calls Roxas a '''chicken wuss'''; this is a reference to his derogatory nickname for the character [[finalfantasy:Zell Dincht|Zell Dincht]] on various occasions in ''Final Fantasy VIII''. There also is an alternate cutscene if you lose the first battle with Seifer. This is likely a reference to him and Leon (Squall), because of how there was an alternate cutscene for Leon also. The fact that he is the leader of the Twilight Town Disciplinary Committee also could be considered a reference to his original game, where he was the leader of the Balamb Garden Disciplinary Committee.
 
==Fighting Style==
{{Main|Seifer (Boss)}}
Seifer has a very defensive fighting style as he is always in a guard stance. He parries attacks quite easily and focuses on countering. He has the same battle stance as he did in ''Final Fantasy VIII'', but his attacks are much less impressive. He can perform a basic slash and a spin attack. He can also leap high into the air and come down club first.

Origin

Seifer FFVIII.png

Seifer Almasy is a classmate of 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 Balamb Garden Disciplinary Committee, he is close friends with fellow students Raijin and Fujin.

Seifer originally trains to become a 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 Ultimecia, as it is his "romantic dream" to become a Sorceress's Knight. However, he later realizes his wrongdoings and redeems himself.

Seifer's derogatory nickname for 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.
