Movie filming scene.
(Zefer, ゼファー?, lit. Zefā) was a Sorceress's Knight who aided his sorceress in standing up for the people of a collapsed country in ancient times in Final Fantasy VIII.
In more modern times, Zefer and his partner have become a part of history and, more specifically, his partner is regarded as one of the three sorceresses of historical importance. A movie was made about their adventures with Laguna Loire playing the part of a Sorceress's Knight, though it is unknown whether this Knight was actually Zefer or some other Knight.
After the movie's release, Seifer Almasy became enchanted with the story of Zefer and his sorceress and became enthralled with the idea of becoming a Sorceress's Knight himself, calling it his "romantic dream".
