Seifer

Seifer is a Final Fantasy character in Kingdom Hearts II. A character found in Twilight Town, Seifer is always seen with his posse Fuu, Rai and Vivi. He shares a rivalry with Hayner and his gang, and would most of the time pick a fight with the latter.

Much like the original Seifer, he is cocky, sarcastic, and a self-proclaimed protector of order, or at least, his idea of order, which is just bullying people to following what he says.

Kingdom Hearts II
Final Fantasy VIII

Self-appointed head of the "Twilight Disciplinary Committee."

Seifer does his best to keep the town up to his own rigorous standards, but not everyone appreciates his high-handed tactics -- take Hayner's gang, for example.

His followers Fujin and Raijin are never far away.

Kingdom Hearts II
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. He can be considered one of Twilight Town's two bosses alongside Axel. In the digitalized Twilight Town, Hayner, Vivi, and Setzer can be fought once. Seifer can be fought as many times as you want which is good if you need to level up.

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.

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 hat with the "Ore" kanji (which is a distinctly masculine [the backwards kanji also stands for battle] and sometimes vulgar way of referring to oneself). The scar Leon gave him in Final Fantasy VIII is also shown in the game. In Kingdom Hearts II, Seifer's gunblade "Hyperion" is replaced with a Struggle Bat which he uses for all battles, but wields it similar to how he did Hyperion.

Battle Quotes
"Kneel, loser!" "Don't leave me hanging now!" "Isn't this ROMANTIC!" "So long!"

Trivia

 * 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, and Terry McGinnis (Batman in Batman Beyond) in the North American release.


 * While Squall and Seifer were responsible for giving each their respective scars in a training session taken too far as seen in the opening FMV of Final Fantasy VIII, their Kingdom Hearts incarnations never meet or even know of the other's existence.


 * At one point in the early stages of Kingdom Hearts II, Seifer calls Roxas a chicken wuss - a reference to his derogatory nickname for the character Zell Dincht on various occasions in Final Fantasy VIII.
