Final Fantasy 8

Storyline

Magic is used by drawing energy from enemies, and GF (Guardian Force {summoning}) can be used as many times as you wish. Guardian Forces have Hit Points and gain levels, just as your characters. They also give your characters special abilities and status bonuses.

In the story, it is rumored that GF is dangerous and can cause memory loss, but that hasn't been scientifically proven. It is also rumored that SeeD is the result of a much larger conspiracy than just the neutral, peace-keeping, mercenary force.

Final Fantasy 8 looks at Squall from a more first person point of view. He is quiet and a lone wolf, but he is a very interesting character in this game. Not only do you hear his spoken words, but you get to read what he's really thinking inside. *he looks like a girl*

Rinoa and the others in the party have a hard time trying to get Squall to express himself, or even say anything for that matter... and they need to since he's slowly molded into their leader. Squall wishes there didn't have to be fighting, but he enjoys battle with a passion. He is a specialist with a Gunblade, which rarely comesout of The Garden.

FF8 secrets

Bahamut, Guardian Force:

After you get the ship, Ragnorak, fly down to the spot where the four corners of the map meet. There, you'll find some old ruins in the middle of the ocean. Land your ship on top of the ruins and go inside. Bahamut threatens you from within, but don't be too scared... he wasn't that difficult to me. When you enter, don't move or you'll immediately run into an enemy. You need to time your steps and wait for the light in the middle of the room to go dim. When it's bright, you will meet up with an enemy, no matter what you do. (don't try the Diablos enc-none ability... it doesn't work in this room)

Ok, once you're at the center, talk to the blue container and it'll ask you something. Answer whatever you wish, it doesn't matter right now. You'll fight a Ruby Dragon. My advice is to get the spell Aura and use your limit breaks repeatedly. After you defeat the Ruby Dragon, you'll be asked another question. Answer how you wish because this question doesn't matter either. Defeat the Ruby Dragon again. Now when you are asked a 3rd question, hit your cancel button (unless you changed it, it'll be the triangle) and you'll get a new option. Select the blank spot and you'll fight Bahamut.

Cactaur, Guardian Force:

Eden, Guardian Force:

After defeating Bahamut, go down inside the center of the room. You'll find an underground lab. You'll have to go through a series of doors using a limited amount of energy to open them. Don't ask me how to do it, it looks complicated, but I got it on the first try... not hard. Once you get to the bottom of some fabulous scenery, you'll have to battle with The Ultima Weapon. (doesn't the weapon the beast is holding look terribly familiar?) I, once again, advise to use limit breaks on this thing to take it out quickly; however, before you kill it, make sure to draw the GF, Eden, out of it.

Eden is supposed to be the most powerful GF in the game. Once used, it will deal out around 40,000 points worth of damage... all at once. Which means that 9,999 is not the maximum attack number. When I first used it, Eden hit my opponents by 37,943. The problem with using Eden, however, is the fact that it takes about 5 minutes for all the summon graphic effects to run through when you call upon it. You'll see...

Getting AP the fast way:

Remember that island with the Cactaur GF? You can fight small cacti that are kinda difficult to kill, but if you hit 'em, they'll usually die. I suggest junctioning water to your Elem-Attack... it'll hit them much harder, and I found that I hit them more often when I had water junctioned. They'll give you 20 AP a piece and they come in packs of 1-4. Happy hunting.

The Island Closest to Hell:

Oooo... sounds spooky. It's the island that's furthest west on the map. Not only can you draw a small amount of the following spells repeatedly all around the edge of the island:

- Ultima
- Meteor
- Flare
- Holy
- Triple
- Full-Life
- Aura

... but also the enemies on the island are all level 100. Great for building up experience. I simply put 100 blinds junctioned to Squall, and the enemies couldn't hit me. I was beating them up at level 50 and I would earn around 3 levels per character per fight. Just simple things like Blue Dragons and T-Rexaurs, but there are a whole combination of enemies you'll run into, so be careful. If you just came for the spells, slap on your Enc-None ability from Diablos and suck up what you can.

The Island Closest to Heaven:

Same deal as the island closest to Hell... the difference is that it's on the other side of the map (island closest to the upper right corner), it contains the spell Tornado, it's smaller, and it has different enemies.

Get the Lion Heart Sword on Disc 1:

After getting the Minotaur Card in the Tomb of the Unknown King, you can refine it into Adamantine. Turn some Elnoyles into cards, and they can be refined into Energy Crystals which can be refined into Pulse Ammo. The Dragon Fangs can be found after defeating a T-Rexaur between the levels of 20-29.
