The vehicles in Final Fantasy VIII are very imaginative but also they are an important part of the game itself.

These are the two main methods of travelling:

The Ragnarok

Flying ships have been the staple of Final Fantasy series titles. In Final Fantasy 8, the crew gets to fly Ragnarok, a futuristic vessel that is designed for maximum mobility. It is fitted with two high output engines that give it maneuverability on a par with conventional aircrafts, armed with a 609mm charged particle beam cannon and two 152mm multi-barrel laser cannons. Ragnarok is said to be developed secretly by an unnamed country. Count on seeing an impressive event or two involving this craft.

Trains

Trains were used quite a bit in Final Fantasy 7, but only within Midgar itself. Trains in Final Fantasy 8, at least on the Island of Balamb, form an integeral part of the transport system. The main disadvantage is that the stations get you from A to B in a set path, and you can only get off at each end, but they are a quick and cheaper alternative to renting a car.
