==Story==
===Lost Chapter: Balamb Whiplash===
Laguna encounters Quistis Trepe, a SeeD from his world, shortly after she arrives in the World of Light as he scouts a lava field near the Capta Est Tower with Cecil, Zidane, and Y’shtola. the others ask him for an introduction, but Laguna – who was taken into the World of Light from a time before meeting her in Esthar – does not remember anything. The confusion grows as Quistis realizes that this cannot be the Dream World (as she is herself, rather than Kiros or Ward), but she remains uncertain that she is not in a dream of some kind. The group deems Quistis as an ally as a behemoth arrives to challenge them in battle. Thereafter, Quistis decides to join the warriors as they continue traveling and fighting in the lava field.
===Lost Chapter: Inheriting the Past===
Laguna hesitantly approaches Aerith as she prays to ask her a question. Because he knows that she can commune with the planet, Laguna asks if he might be an Ancient as well because of the "faeries" in his head. Cater, Yuri, and Hope join the conversation to ruminate on Laguna's question. When asked to describe the faeries, Laguna explains that he hears loud and clear interjections, but Aerith tells him that those voices are probably not the planet speaking to him, as she knows it. In her situation the voices in the planet are so numerous that she can't clearly understand what it says. Laguna further elaborates that when the voices are in his head, he becomes much stronger and more resilient in battle; Aerith confirms that this is also not something that happens to her. The group concludes that they are probably not experiencing the same phenomenon.
Aerith suggests that someone from his world might be interacting with his mind. Laguna realizes that he hasn't felt the "faeries" since he was called to the world of respite, and wonders if he is too far for that person to reach him. She reassures him and tells him to make sure he has plenty of stories to tell to the faeries.

==Allusions==
*Though not directly stated in Final Fantasy VIII, it is implied Seifer Almasy became enchanted with the story of Zefer and his sorceress and enthralled with the idea of becoming a sorceress' knight himself, calling it his "romantic dream". Laguna played the role of this fabled knight in a dream sequence. In Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, Seifer meets Laguna and reveals he's a fan and that Laguna is the reason he uses a gunblade.
*Laguna has Vincent as his Force Mode partner and pairs up with Kuja.
**Both Laguna and Vincent have once worked for the enemy faction - Galbadia and Shinra - and are gunners.
**Laguna and Kuja have become somewhat friends throughout the course of the story of the game, hence their pairing. Both are also associated with theatre: Laguna took on an acting gig to get by, but landed a leading role nonetheless, while Kuja fancies himself a thespian and makes his decisions as if he was an actor in a major role.
