Guardian Forces

Guardian Forces are an essential element to the world of Final Fantasy VIII. They help you throughout the game and are very valuable. For those of you who are familiar with Final Fantasy VII, GFs are somewhat like Summon Monsters.

GFs have their own HP and can be injured and even killed. Luckily, they can also be revived. Even when you're not summoning your GF in battle, they are still helping you. With a GF equipped, you can junction magic and learn new abilities that will help you in your journey.
