Even though the FAQ is already completed, there are still errors that required me to correct it. What's has been added to the FAQ? - Frequently Asked Questions --> Well, for the past few months since FF8 has been released, I have received countless e-mails regarding this game and I have decided to compile them. Otherwise, I will be repeated those answers over and over again. Of course, once I have added the list of questions, I will not be answering them anymore. BTW, if you have any problems regarding weapon upgrading, please refer to the ultimate weapon upgrading guide in Part I. - The third hint of Obel Lake Mystery --> thanks to one helpful contributor who has told me about this third hint [well, can't expect that it is actually a joke...]. Refer to Obel Lake Mystery Section for more details. - Search Mode --> A lot of FAQ readers have complained to me that the FAQ being too long as it takes ages to search for the information that you need. I have finally found a method, which is being obtained from Dingo Jellybean's FF7 FAQ but I have made some improvements to it. All you just need to do the following: (Note: there are actually people who tends to overlook this capability of WordPad and I myself is also one of them ^_^;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Method 1: From the toolbar, select Edit and choose Find. Enter the keyword. Method 2: Use the short-cut key Ctrl+F and you will see the Search Box popped up. Enter the keyword that you want to look for. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- But sometimes the keyword does not reached your desired destination, hence I have come up with a good idea and that's to add codes to the right side of the contents page. Just enter the following keyword: ffviii_xxx where xxx stands for the 3-digit code for the section. The list of code numbers can be found at the Table of Contents. But remember that you must enter the "ffviii_" in order for it to work, or you will find that you will end up at other pages instead! - Note to all webmasters. If you want to post the FAQ on your site, make sure that you keep update and get the latest versions. I will always sent my FAQs to GameFAQs. I will definitely not permit anyone else to edit my FAQs. No HTMLizing for my FAQs. Final Fantasy: Worlds Apart (http://www.ffnet.net) is an exception. - Strangely enough, I have received e-mails regarding whether I am doing a FAQ for Final Fantasy IX. I am about 75% sure that I will NOT be writing a FAQ for it due to several personal reasons. Anyway, I guess someone else will write a FAQ for that game. [But this means that you can be ensured that there will be FAQs for Final Fantasy IX.] - I have corrected most of grammatical errors as being requested by viewers. Thanks to them, otherwise I will not known the seriousness of the problems. I will try my best to correct errors for my other FAQs once I have time. - I hoped that this may be the final update for this FAQ. BTW, I am no longer accepting strategies and questions regarding this FAQ. ALL the stuffs that I know about FF8 can be found in this FAQ and Part II. If you have any recommendations, complaints, secrets regarding this game, and just e-mail to me and I will try my best to solve it. - I am quite sorry for not answering any e-mails after my March vacation as I have been rather busy with my assignments, projects and examinations. You should get your reply shortly. BTW, there will be no reply for those who do not add "FF8" or "Final Fantasy VIII" as I have deleted the e-mails that does not have this as a subject. [ except for those that contains other game headings which I have written a FAQ for...] For this "possible" final update: - This is probably going to the be last update of FAQ. I have gotten permission from The Saint about using some of Chocobo World information on the FAQ. For more details, I would recommend you to take a look at his FAQs, which is also available at GameFAQs. - I have updated the frequently asked questions with more detailed answers and hopefully, it could just solved your burning questions. - BTW, I'm no longer accepting strategies as I guessed there is enough strategies and all the new strategies are just minor improvements over the existing ones. Unless there is a great importance, I would not add it. - Last of all, good bye to those who read my FF8 FAQs... It's time for me to embark on a new FAQ writing journey...

Hence it will be best if you can add "FF8" as your subject so that I know that it is about Final Fantasy VIII. Lastly don't sent me any viruses/huge files. If you have a strategy to contribute, just type it in the mail instead add it to a text-file. BTW, don't expect me to e-mail you the list of cards, where to get them and other stuffs, you can get all these from the FAQs. If you sent me a question which the answer can be found in the FAQ, I will most likely ask you to refer to the FAQ. As for certain quests such as the Obel Lake Mystery, Missing Vase Pieces, don't expect me to type out the entire information for you [as it can't be explain in a few paragraphs or so.]. Okay don't with the list [mostly repeated]: Last Updated: 14/10/2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The list may be expanded depends on the number of e-mails that I have recieved on that particular topic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. How do you junction commands? A: You can ONLY junction commands (such as Magic, Item, Draw, etc.) and abilities (Mag-J, Str-J, Str+20%, SumMag +20%, Counter, Cover, etc) if you have a GF equipped for the characters. To equip a GF, select the character and Junction from the main menu. Next pick a GF and you will be able to equip the command! You can more help from the Tutorial Menu in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. How many GFs are there? A: There are a total of 16 GFs [GFs with abilities] and the miscellaneous GFs. I have include the list and the brief method on getting them.

Note: Odin will be lost. If you haven't gotten Odin at that time, Gilgamesh will be lost. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. I had forgotten to draw a GF! Are there any other methods to get it? A: YES! You can get the GF by drawing it from the BOSSES found in the Ultimecia's Castle. Refer to Disc 4 walkthrough for more information. I did not include in the walkthrough as this will help to avoid spoilers. BTW, some of GF summoning items [Solomon's Ring for Doomtrain and Magical Lamp for Diablos] can be retrieved from the Pocketstation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. I had sold the Magical Lamp! Is there a method to get it later in game? A: Unfortunately no. In fact, that's the only Magical Lamp you can get from playing the game. You can get more Magical Lamps as you can get it from the Pocketstation. [Refer to Pocketstation guides that found in GameFAQs. You can find more information under the Pocketstation section in Part II. Please note that I don't own a Pocketstation.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. What is the purpose of SeeD tests? A: Note for all new players, you can only get cash through your SeeD salary. You will get your salary, once Squall has become an official SeeD member after Dollet's test at Disc 1. The SeeD level will change if you do any of following: SeeD Test ------------------------------------------------------------------- Method Effect ------------------------------------------------------------------- Answering SeeD tests with correct answers. Access Increase SeeD test from Tutorial menu --> TEST menu. SeeD level. Continue with the story of the game Increase SeeD level. Finish Train sequence in Disc 1 upon first try SeeD level +1 Walking around the world map, field terrains without Decrease doing anything. SeeD level ------------------------------------------------------------------- SeeD levels do not increase every time. In fact, it increases based on the number of steps that Squall walk on the terrains. Hence, do not try to not overdo it as it will decrease your SeeD level. The higher SeeD level, the more cash [in gil] that you will receive each time. For the test answers, refer to the walkthrough for disc 1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. I have seen a UFO moving around in a random battle and nothing happens.. What was that? A: It is the UFO Sighting Incident. There are four sighting spots which is being marked on the world map found at . Just go there with Diablo's Enc-None and move around to have a random battle. For more details, refer to the World Tour under the Disc 3 Walkthrough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. Why I can't convert 100x Curse Spikes into Dark Matter through GF Siren's Tool-RF, in order learn Quistis' last Limit Break, Shockwave Pulsar? A: In order to do that, GF Siren must reach LV 100. Otherwise, you will not be able to do the refinement. As for the help in getting Curse Spikes, you need to defeat the Imp, Forbidden or Malboro. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8. Is it true that you can't have both items obtained from stealing and defeat monsters? A: Yes. You can get only get one of the items. For example, let's says you encountered a battle with 2x Adamantoises, you defeat them without any characters using the Mug command. You will get the item won from battle, such as Adamantine, Whisper, Orichalons based on Squall's level. If you mug any of the Adamantoises, you will DEFINATELY NOT get Adamantine [which can only be obtained by defeating both Adamantoises]. Instead, you will get other items such as Whispers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9. How do I get Squall's ultimate weapon and Limit Break, Lion Heart? A: To get Squall's ultimate weapon, you must have the following items: 1x Adamantine 3x Dragon Fang 12x Pulse Ammo > - these are the easiest methods Adamantine - you can get this by defeat Adamantoises found shores of Dollet, Long Horn Island [to find the location of Long Horn Island, view the world map at http://risland.virtualave.net]. Dragon Fang - head towards Trabia area where you find the Shumi Village. Note that from the world map's point of view, you will find a row of mountains behind the village. Just walk closely against mountains and you will encounter Blue Dragons. Defeat it to get Dragon Fang. Pulse Ammo - you need to get Energy Crystal. Get 20x Elynole's card via card playing and you can convert them into 2x Energy Crystals through Quezacotl's Card-Mod RF. Next convert the Energy Crystals through Ifrit's Ammo-RF. You will get 20x Pulse Ammo. Now go to any of the junk shops found in the game and pay 2000 gil to remodel Squall's gunblade into Lion Heart. I have explained in more details under the Ultimate Weapon Upgrading section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10. Where are the Islands closest to Heaven / Hell? A: It is kind of difficult to explain using words. You can get find the locations of them on a world map at my website . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11. I can't locate the Deep Sea Research Center! Where can I find it? A: To locate the Deep Sea Research Center, you need the Ragnarok airship. Pilot the airship to the extreme low-left corner of the world map. Move the Ragnarok low by press Down button. When you move the Ragnarok, you should see water splashing... Next navigate around that corner and you should find the Deep Sea Research Center. If you have any problems, get the world map mentioned in the above URL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12. Why is there a screen showing "censored" when I used the Devour Command? A: It was just like that! ^_^; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13. Question on Card Games A: Well, it consists of a huge portion of my e-mails. Here is a section for it: Rare Cards - it is true that there is only one version of rare cards, not after time compression has occurred. To get back the lost rare cards, you need to defeat the CC Group Members at Ragnarok airship in Disc 4. (provided that you have defeat them in Disc 2.). You can get them back even after you have refined the card using Quezacotl's Card-Mod. Card Queen - the Card Queen is really tough as she changes the card rules and moves from areas to areas, which made her an extremely tough opponent. If you need more help, get FF8 FAQ Part II at http://www.gamefaqs.com and refer to the Card Queen's Side Quest. Obtaining cards - besides getting it by winning the card game, you can also get cards by defeating enemies or using the card command to convert dying enemies into cards [does not work on BOSS and human beings] Card Rules - It will be very difficult to explain the rules in a few sentences, hence there is a need to read the Card section of FF8 FAQ Part II. Abolish a Card Rule - a lot of gamers get frustrated regarding the random rule as it will force you into a bad situation in the card game. To abolish that rule, you can either play in a region where there is no such rules. One perfect example is Balamb area. Rules will be added as soon as you started in an area where there are new rules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14. Tough Battles - answers found at my Monsters FAQ @ GameFAQs A: It seems that a lot of people are having trouble regarding combat in FF8. There are a few reasons for the toughness and one of them is that monsters levelling up as your character does. There are few methods to be stronger than your enemy: The hints are: - by remodelling the characters' weapons - get stronger spells via item refining. You can get a lot of rare items via cards. This means if you want an easy life in the game, play cards often! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15. Can I get into the cities during Disc 4? A: There is no way that you can get into the cities in Disc 4. Those barriers do not allow you to make contact with the city. I know the following question will definitely pop up if this happens... * how do I remodel my weapons? - you can remodel your weapons by using GF Tonberry's Call Shop or Call Junk Shop menu ability via the Ability menu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16. I have sold the Magical Lamp. Is there any other way to get it? A: Finally found the answers for this... You can't draw Diablos from any of the bosses [bosses at Lunatic Pandora and Boss Sphinxaur in Ultimecia's Castle]. Once you sold it, you got to reset if you don't own a Pocketstation or Gameshark. It is still possible to complete the game without GF Diablos, but it will definitely be tougher. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 17. Where are weapon monthly magazines? A: You don't need these items as it is compulsory to remodel your characters' weapon. In fact, the weapon's name will appear in the Junk Shop's menu once you have obtained its requirements. Here is a short list of weapon magazines: Weapon Monthly March - you will get this by defeating Elvoret at Dollet's Communication Tower in Disc 1. Weapon Monthly April - you will get this from Squall's desk after completing the sequence in Training Center. (after the ball dance) Weapon Monthly May - you can find this in the sewers while controlling Rinoa. Refer to walkthrough for more information. Weapon Monthly June - defeat BGHZ51F2 at Missile Base Weapon Monthly July - found it in Balamb Garden's Training Center after Disc 2. Weapon Monthly August - found it near the Gargoyle in Trabia Garden. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18. Why I can't get the second vase piece (found at the statue) in Winhill? A: Well, this is really my error and thanks to those whom have help me in solving this and that is you really need to have Irvine in your party. I guess it was perhaps due to the itching hands of Irvine ^_^;) Remember the time when he messes up the guns in Zell's room [for those whom have Irvine in your party] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 19. Where can I locate the Tomb of Unknown King? A: It seems that this type of question is one of hardiest for me to answer. Imagine explaining the location using words. It was actually located on a peninsula, which is northeast from Deling. The tomb is quite small in size and if you still have the problem, get the world map found at . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 20. How do I use the character's Limit Breaks? A: First of all, your characters need to get to "Crisis" conditions. It will be fulfilled when: - the character's HP turns red/yellow - Aura is being cast on the character Next to use the Limit Break, just tap Circle button (menu button) and you will eventually see a golden triangle on the right side of "Attack" or "Mug". Press right and you will be able to execute the Limit Break. General Tip on getting Aura. Aura is a magic that allows your character to get Limit Breaks easily. To get Aura magic, you need to get Fury Fragments which can be mugged from Blue Dragon found at the mountains near Shumi Village. [you don't need to stand on the mountain, just go near it]. Next just convert the Fury Fragment into 5x Aura magic through Leviathan's Supt Mag-RF ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 21. How do I return back to the Lunatic Pandora after I have finished the "Ragnarok crash scene" in Disc 3? A: You can choose to exit the Pandora after your Ragnarok has made its way to the Lunatic Pandora in Disc 3. To exit, just to talk to Selphie. From there, you can enjoy yourself for the quests or do some level up. After you are done, proceed to the bridge [or controls room] and talk to Selphie and you will be back at the Lunatic Pandora! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 22. Is it possible to do the Lion Heart Limit Break each time once you have acquired the Lion Heart gunblade? A: No. The occurence of the Lion Heart Limit Break depends on chance. You can't control it. But Lion Heart seems to appear more frequently, once the entire party is down to critical status. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 23. How do I get Limit Breaks for every characters? A: Squall - Upgrade his gunblade and Squall will learn new Limit Breaks. [see Part II for more details.] Quistis - Get Blue Magic Items [refer to Part II item bestiary on how to get them] and use it on Quistis. Zell - Get Combat Kings and select the item and Zell will learn the new Limit Breaks automatically. Selphie - Get it from her Limit Breaks. While you are choosing the type of spells, you can find her Limit Breaks [including those that are not uncovered.]. Cast it and Selphie will have that Limit Breaks. Rinoa - Get Pet Pals and select the item. Next check the status screen and select the limit break that you wish to teach Angelo. Hence walk around on the terrain for a while. Once the gauge has built up, Rinoa will learn the Limit Break! Irvine - Get the Ammo and he will have new Limit Breaks. Some of the rare ammo are quite hard to get. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 24. How do I enhance my character's statistics? A: Through the junction system. The junction system is a system that could enfuse magic to your character's atttributes, hence making them stronger. See Basic Tutorial for more information. BTW, the effects of Junction are affected by the following: . Number of magic: The more you have, the better the effect of the junction system. . Types of spell: The stronger the spell you have, the better the effect the junction has on the character. Junction also allows your characters to equip commands and abilities. There is no accessories/armor in the game. Please read the Basic Tutorial thoroughly. You need to have junction abilities [i.e. abilities that are ended with "-J"] for boosting your character's statistics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 25. How do I upgrade my weapons in FF8? A: You can't buy new weapons instead you can tune them up through Junk Shops. But in order to do this, you need to have specific ingredients such as M-Stone Piece, Sharp Spike, Dragon Fang, etc. Of course, not everything in the world is free. You need to pay a small sum to upgrade them to new models [you can choose to upgrade or downgrade.] Everytime you attempt to remodel the weapon, the ingredients will be used up. If you want to upgrade back to the same weapon, you need to get new ingredients. To upgrade a weapon in Disc 4, just get GF Doomtrain [Call Junk Shop menu ability] and do the following: 1) Activate your menu. 2) Select the Ability header. 3) Select Call Junk Shop 4) Do what you normally do at Junk Shops. It's pretty simple huh? BTW, don't try to force your way in the towns, as it is impossible! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 26. How I mug an item? A: This one is pretty hard to explain if you don't know anything about junction commands or abilities. First of all, you need to get a GF ability called "Mug" [from Bahamut or Diablos, requires 200 AP to master]. Next equip GF Bahamut or Diablos with the mastered Mug ability. After you have equipped the commands, you will be able to select the type of character/party abilities. Choose Mug and add it to one of the ability slots. If you equip the ability, you should see the attack command is being replaced with Mug. If that happens, you are on the right track. Just go to a random battle and look for the monster that you want to steal an item from. Remember to watch for the top status bar after your character has performed the attack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 27. How do I junctioned commands? A: Before I start this, I need to explain that GFs are extremely important as they worked like Materia in FF7. Without them, you can't have other commands besides attack. First of all, you need to get a GF. [If you have seen through the ability list in Part II, you should noticed that all the 16 GFs have Magic, GF and Draw.] To equip a command, do the following step-by-step and make sure that you are in the main menu. 1) Select Junction from the main menu 2) Select the character who you want to junction GFs with. 3) Select Junction command from the Junction Menu. Select the GFs that you want to equip with. Press Triangle once you are done. 4) You should be brought to the Auto screen if you have magic in that character's magic inventory. Choose either Atk, Def or Mag. If your character don't have any magic, you will be brought to the Ability sub-menu directly. Press Triangle once you are done. 5) At the ability screen, you should see the command list of the character with the slots along with ability slots. On the right is the list of commands available (if the cursor is pointing at either one of the three command slots, they are found under the Attack command) and list of abilities available (if the cursor is pointing at either one of ability slots.) Just pick and choose from the list. Duplicate commands will only appear once. [For example, as I had mentioned earlier, that all 16 GFs have the 3 basic commands, GF, Magic and Draw. These commands will appear only once even if you have more than 1 GFs equipped.] Press Triangle once you are done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 28. Where do General Caraway go after he had brought you to the Gateway? A: It is pretty funny that I got such e-mails more than twice ^_^;). After Caraway have move away from the Gateway, head towards the left side of the screen. You should be brought to the front screen where you see crowds and the gateway. Notice that there is no people on the left side of the crowd. Just walk down and exit from the screen. You will meet Caraway there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 29. Who is Squall's father? A: This may be a piece of spoiler [heck, anyway by typing out the FAQ, I had already spoiled the game...]. There is my evidence to support that Laguna Loire is Squall's father! A) If you re-visit Winhill, you will found out that the photo of the family (Laguna, Raine, "Squall" and Ellone) is missing. The photo is found at Raine's House [next to the pub] B) Laguna has probably left Squall in the hands of Edea before leaving for his journey to rescue Ellone. You had see sequences of Squall standing in the rain feeling bored and Laguna talking to Edea... (btw, this may be wrong as it is my own assumption) C) If you talk to Ward or Kiros, you make get more information leaked out about Squall and Laguna [that's a pretty good hint by the way...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 30. Have you heard any rumours about FF8? A: Definitely yes! Of course, FF8 is such a great RPG and there are also have some loopholes just like FF7 and so you can expect some rumours about the game. A) Getting Cloud Strife Well, I myself is also a fan of Cloud. But I don't have sufficient proof that Cloud is in the game. But based on gameshark, it is not possible to have Cloud. This always works btw. But here are some rumours [they seems a bit reasonable...] 1) Have 16 gameovers at the Island closest to Hell. Upon the 16th continue, Cloud will appear... My Reply: This is definitely not true! 2) During the battle against the Iron Clad [the BOSS at the missile base], you can mug an item from the BOSS which allows you to summon Cloud Strife! [Cloud will appears and do his Omnislash Limit Break!] My Reply: Haven't tested it yet as my party was too strong... I have killed that stupid Iron Clad with a few attacks... B) Getting GF Griever/ a hidden GF You can get GF Griever in Lunatic Pandora. You must have all the weapons, 666 items or something to that nature. Also in Balamb, next to Zell's house, an old man makes reference to an old story/ legend. My Reply: . About the ridiculous 666 item: This isn't true as it is impossible to have 666 of an item type. So give up your hopes... [That 666 items requirement is actually taken from Occult Fan III, which refers to GF Doomtrain ^_^; If you break the numbers up along with other issues, you should get 6x Steel Pipes, 6x Malboro Tentacles, 6x Remedy+] . An old man... Well, I guessed this may be partly right... I'm not sure about this anyway. But since half of the rumour is wrong, it is just as good as the rumour is false. C) Getting Seifer after Dollet Mission I know that there will be a lot of Seifer's fan hoping that this could be true. Well, I have recently received a rumour regarding this... Luckily for us, FAQ writers for FF8, Rinoa did not die in the game... Otherwise we may be facing problems like resurrecting Rinoa... *Phew* I have excluded some of rumours to save me from e-mails probing... BTW, here is a point of advice from me and that is don't be cheated by rumours. (Provided that there is sufficient proof to prove it... at least a screenshot of the rumour. Like showing Cloud fighting against any monster that's included in FF8.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 31. Why can't I equip Card Mod-RF on my character? A: You can't equipped that on a character. There are several types of abilities and below is a short summary on the abilities types: Type How to use it? Character You need to equip it to enable its effect. Go to Junction menu and choose the fourth tab, Abilities. GF Automatically takes effect once the GF has mastered the ability. Note that the learnt ability only applies to that GF, which has the ability in its slot. Junction It allows some of the Junction options to be enable on the Junction status screen. For example, if the equipped GFs does not have any Str-J, the Str option will be greyed out. There is no need to equip the ability, just equiped GF to enable its effect. Menu One of the abilities that can't be equipped. You can access this ability under Ability sub-menu of the main |
