Final Fantasy VIII Flow Chart and Walkthrough ver 0.44 (c) Heero Yuy,1999. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 / 2 3 / 1 9 9 9 ******** C o n t i n u e ? ********** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I won't be able to update this FAQ until April 4th (the Easter Day). Whether this FAQ will be continued or not, that remains a question for now; even I don't have the answer. So if you're desperate for this FAQ's continuation, you'll have to wait until that day (April 6th will be fine). Bring all my FAQ out of GameFAQs? Possibly. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, I still welcome your mail regarding comments, questions, or maybe some supports. I know there are many errors in this FAQ as well as its weaknesses (doesn't contain ... or ... and .... blablabla...) so I'll be happy to help you, whenever I am able to. Despite the fact that I didn't reply all your mails, I actually READ ALL OF THEM. Believe it or not. So feel free to mail me. If you insist on a reply then "Please reply" will do just fine. Of course there are some letters that don't deserve to be replied at any cost. Below is one example: _______________________________________________________________________ can youtelll me where can i find the last edition of weapon mags? i can't find it everywhere. thanks _______________________________________________________________________ What's wrong with the letter? In Eastern tradition, writing such a mail is quite unpolite. But that's not the big deal (I don't really mind about it); the main problem is because I actually had mentioned it in my FAQ. Well,I believe you understand my point. ________________________________________________________________________ Quick Insert by Final Fantasy Online You can now always find the latest version of Heero Yuy's Final Fantasy VIII FAQ at Final Fantasy Online http://www.ffonline.com/ We will be working with Heero Yuy in the future to develop the text FAQ and make a full featured graphical HTML version. ________________________________________________________________________ *************** Q U I C K U P D A T E **************** - Crytal Power told me that the first lyrics of 'Eyes on Me' should be 'I never sang my songs' and the third line should be 'I never said my words'. Yes, it makes sense. I will confirm it as soon as possible but meanwhile, I believe he's right. - Seifer does have R1 trigger. I have received tons of mails saying this. - About the specials FAQ: The name is TOKUSHU WAZA not Tokushugi or Tokugi. Actually, I realized this when I play the remake version of FF VI, open the menu and find 'tokushu' inside. Besides, Rei Urabe had confirmed this too. Another credit for her. - Things I don't know: - Kame no Kouchi. Still wondering where they are. - Not good in Card battle. Guess I have to play othello again, huh? - What you should do at the room under the wooden bridge in Altimicia's Castle (the one that looks like a basement. You can drain the water but nothing happens??). - No, I don't have a Pokesute right now. - Things I already know (just to avoid some unnecessary mails) : - The ingredients for your best weapons and where to find them. - The requirements for acquiring all the G.F.s and that includes how to beat the not-so-that-hard Ultima Weapon - How to locate and beat Omega Weapon. Just don't ask me now. - A database concerning G.F.s, Items, magic, Draw points, etc. But please take a note: EVERYONE CAN DO IT if you know the language; just READ THE TUTORIAL. End of discussion. - Some cheap battle methods. Here's one of them: Make your status attack junctioned with Sleep X 100, another character with Stop X 100, and the third character Death X 100. Trust me, it works 60% of the time and can save your time a lot. - The ultimate battle method: Requirements: Squall's End of Heart learned (optional) Quistis' Mighty Guard learned At least 1 Aura spell 3 Eiyuu no Kusuri (Hero's Medicine) Steps: 1. Cast Aura on Quistis. 2. Use her Mighty Guard. It casts Regen, Protesu, Shell, and Levitate (and also Aura, but sometimes it doesn't work. Don't know why) at once. 3. Use Hero's Medicine on three characters. 4. Voila! You'll have an invinsible party. Just attack the opponent with your specials. The downside: If the Aura effects fade out too soon. - Anything that has been covered by me, Yu Shenfu, Steven Bruck and Scott Ong. You can find the info in each's FAQ. Any comments? I guess not. Last words...(just in case if there are no more updates) thanks for everyone who have been supporting this walkthrough. Many, many thanks. Sayonara, Heero Yuy P.S. One thing for sure: I'll be back on Seiken Densetsu IV: Legend of Mana. But that's another story ... see you there! _______________________________________________________________________ Final Fantasy VIII Flow Chart & Walkthrough ver 0.4 (c) Heero Yuy,1999.

This might help you to figure ------- Introduction | | what this walkthrough will be. Think of it ------- How to Navigate | | as the main page of a site. ------- Current Project | |____________________________________________________________________________| | | | | | Hajimemashite. Welcome to the unofficial walkthrough | | | of Final Fantasy VIII, written by me. I'm doing this | | | because I want to challenge myself in writing skills. | | | However, English is not my mother language; the fact | | | leads to grammatical errors scattered among your way. | | | --------------------- | | INTRODUCTION | A more friendly format had been chosen to avoid these | | ------------ | errors but some will remain, waiting someone to tell | | | me where they are. | | | --------------------- | | | I'm not as good as Kao Megura, but I'll put my best in | | | this walkthrough. If you have any questions, comments, | | | or even critics, just send them to kanketsu@usa.net. | | | Participants are welcome. See you there! | |___________________|________________________________________________________| | | | | | This is not your typical FAQ. As a matter of fact, the | | | format was based on common Japanese Guidebooks (like | | HOW TO NAVIGATE | V-Jump FF VII guide, or Final Fantasy Complete Works | | --------------- | by Digicube. Both can be found on your local Japanese | | | bookstores) and maybe unfamiliar to you. | | | ---------------------- | | | Guess what, it is simpler than you think. Basicly, the | | | COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH is seperated into several "FAQ"s | | | (I don't like the term anyway, but I believe it will | | | represent my point). Some are independent, but all of | | | them refer to this WALKTHROUGH. | | | ---------------------- | | | Keep this in mind: You can get optimum advantage by | | | using the parts simultaneously, but this depends on | | | your reading intention. If you want simple hints and | | Want some | want to find all the secrets for yourself, then this | | details ? | walkthrough will perfectly suit you. On the other | | | hand, FAQs on particular subjects (like item chart or | | | special arts) might come in handy for the beginners, | | | who don't have pride as much as old-school gamers (No | | | offense!). | | | ---------------------- | | | The walkthrough itself is divided into two parts: | | | - left side that contains the necessary steps, | | | CHRONOLOGICAL order to avoid spoilers. | | Left and Right | - right side that contains some game commments, but | | | not details. | | | Some notations are included in the right side, giving | | | you directions to the related topics. | | | ---------------------- | | The (!) mark | An exclamation mark (!) means you are in a new scene. | | | *)valids only in disc #3. | | | ---------------------- | | | I hope this note will help you. Feedbacks welcome. | | | | |___________________|________________________________________________________| | | | | CURRENT PROJECT | The format is somehow similar to an HTML page.... | | --------------- | don't you think so? | | | ---------------------- | | | Well, I don't have a personal website and if I did, | | HTML? | I don't have time to maintain it. Wonder if someone | | | read this and have interest to convert it to HTML | | | walkthrough..... | | | And I believe it would be easier to read! | | | ---------------------- | | Unanswered | Thank you for sending me questions but recently I | | E-mails... | don't have the time to answer all of them. | | | ......sorry. | | | ---------------------- | | Sneaking | If you like to use some parts of this walkthrough | | Guests... | (and the related topics) please tell me first. I | | | realized that the info is not completely mine but | | | at least I've done efforts in asking permissions | | | to the rightful ones (and it wasn't too easy... | | | trust me). Besides, does it harm you for sending | | | an E-mail to notify me? Thank you. | | | ----------------------- | | Future Plans | - Full Japanese Fonts (need a run test, again). | | | - Corrections on some parts of the flowchart. | | | - Focused on particular subjects. | |___________________|_______________________________________________________/ _________________________________________________________________Main System /___________________________________________________________________________ | | |-------------------------- M A I N S Y S T E M ---------------------------| |____________________________________________________________________________| | | | How to play. Basic means realy, really basic ------- Basic | | and can be found in your game manual. ------- Junction | | Draw and Junction are the primary "systems" ------- Draw | | in FF VIII. | |____________________________________________________________________________| | | | | BASIC | Please refer to Yu Shenfu's basic FAQ on this subject. | | ----- | He's doing some good works there. | | | (I won't wasting my time on writing topics that had | | | been covered by others while there are many other | | | things to do. Well, maybe later. Meanwhile check the | | | reference above). | | | Or you might want to check Scott Ong's FAQ. He has | | | some basics, too. | | | ------------------------------- | | JUNCTION | Junction is the main system in FF VIII. The term is | | -------- | unfimiliar to English speakers, I know. Junction is | | | actually the same as the old one: "Equip", differs | | | only in the object. | | | There are no equipping in FF VIII (even for weapons) | | | since they have been replaced with "Junction". It | | | allows you to "equip" magics to all of your parameters | | | and increasing them. In certain cases, junction gives | | | you some effects like status ailments immunity or | | | else.... | | | BTW, you need a GF before you do junction. | | | -------------------------------- | | DRAW | All magics are obtained by drawing from enemies or | | ---- | draw points. You need to equip a GF with command | | | ability "Draw" before drawing magics. | | | *) Magics can also be obtained from items. More on | | | this later. | |___________________|_______________________________________________________/ __________________________________________________Walkthrough Section: Begin /___________________________________________________________________________ | | |-------------------------- W A L K T H R O U G H ---------------------------| |____________________________________________________________________________| | | | The name has it all.

Although the main | | ------------- | goal for now is just to meet up with Quistis, | | | there are many locations you should check. | | | Make yourself comfortable... | | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | | | | Opening FMV. | | | | | | A misterious girl... | Who is she? | | | | | | Wake up in Balamb Garden's | | | infirmary. | | | | | | | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Kadowaki Sensei ask you | Through some occasions, Squall will be given | | if you're okay. | some questions. You have to answer them by | | > yes | choosing one from the options. | | > feel terrible | Whether this can affect the storyline or not | | | is yet to be found. | |--------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | _______________________Character Profile no.1 | | She asks your name. | | | Default: Squall. | Name : Squall Leonhart | | | | Age : 18 | | | | Sex : Male | | | | Blood Type : | | | | Weapon : Gunblade | | | | Special : Consecutive Blade | | | | | | | | Personality : | | | | A lone wolf. Student of Balamb Garden and | | | | about to graduate as a SeeD member IF he | | | | pass the exam. His personality is really | | | | something since he has an interesting | | | | phylosophy that everyone are responsible for | | | | their own business. "Everyone has to carry | | | | his own burden." he says. | | | | Why he's saying that? You'll find out later. | | | | | |--------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | _______________________Character Profile no.2 | | She asks your advisor's | | | name. | Name : Quistis Trepe | | Default: Quistis. | Age : 18 | | | | Sex : Female | | | | Blood Type : | | | | Weapon : Whip | | | | Special : Blue Magic | | | | | | | | Personality : | | | | Squall's advisor. Apparently, she is the | | | | "onee-sama" (older women^^) in the game | | | | although her age is the same as Squall's. As | | | | a Garden teacher, Quistis is infamous among | | | | her students...there is a "fan club" for her. | | | | However, this affects her reputation and the | | | | ethic commitee doesn't like a well (???) | | | | relations between Quistis and her students... | | | | Anyway, Quistis is a good teacher but seems | | | | to caring too much for her students.... | | | | especially Squall. | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | | | | | Quistis comes to visit. | | | Leaving infirmary. | | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | ! You can't run for now. | Apparently, you can't run all the time. Some | | Keep walking. | time your move is limited only to walking, | | | | especially when you're supposed not to run | | | | in certain places (like the cafetaria.... | | | | now that's manner). | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | ! FMV: Balamb Garden. | | | | | | | ! Classroom. Talk about | | | the upcoming SeeD exam. | | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Got control on Squall. | A good chance to familiarize your interface. | | | | Notice that you're only have one command at | | | | the battle menu: Attack. | | | | *) Refer to basic. | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Check Squall's desk. | | | | | | | Access Balamb Garden | | | Network. | | | | | | | ! Choose tutorial. | | | | | | | G.F. Quetzalcoatl | | | acquired! | | | | | | | G.F. Shiva acquired! | | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Check other options. | Balamb Garden Network doesn't have much, but | | | | it can give you some amusing features. This | | | | network is somehow similar to our real time | | | | network and that means you can see the "chat" | | | | (no, you can't submit anything but it's still | | | | fun to "see" the student's conversation. | | | | Later in the game, the network contains some | | | | side story plot...sort of. | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Leave the network. | | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | | | | | ! Equip your G.F. | ___________________Main System no.1: Junction | | | | | | | | Now you'll have to learn about junction. | | | | Basicly junction is the same as "equip" but | | | | it can customize everything about your | | | | characters. | | | | | | | | First, equip Squall a G.F. Now you can equip | | | | some magics to your parameters. Which ones | | | | you can equip to depends on the G.F.s ability.| | | | For example: If Shiva has "strength junction" | | | | and Squall is currently equipped with her, | | | | then Squall will be able to junction some | | | | magics into his attack power, making his | | | | physical attack stronger. | | | | | | Optimize your settings. | After you equipped a G.F., you have an option | | | | to optimize your settings. | | | | Attack Magic Defense | | | | Since you don't have any magics right now, | | | | we'll skip the magic junction. | | | | | | Set up your battle menu. | Now about command abilities. These are the | | | | ones you use in battles. At this point, you | | | | only have Magic, Draw, and Item. Set them up | | | | in your battle window. | | | | | | Party and menu ability. | Notice the lower box on the left? It's for | | | | character or party abilities; you get two | | | | vacant slots for equipping a G.F. (no, it's | | | | not cumulative. Equipping ten G.F.s still | | | | gives you two slots). Later in the game, | | | | There are G.F.s which have ability that give | | | | you three slots, and eventually four. | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Go 1 screen to the right. | | | | | | | Talk to Quistis. | About the SeeD exam's requirements. Squall | | | | has to accomplished a small task in Fire | | | | Cave. | | | | | | Leave the class room. | | | | | | | ! Bump into a girl at the | | | corridor. | | | > Are you okay? | | | > ..... | | | | | | | | | | | Go 1 screen to the right. | | | | | | | ! Talk to the man on the | | | bridge. | | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | | | | | He gives you 7 cards. | _______________________Mini Game: Card Battle | | | | | | | | First cards you get. They aren't fancy enough | | | | but it's better than nothing. | | | | How we play it? | | | | | | | | As we already knew, there are many NPCs in | | | | an RPG. Many give you informations, but most | | | | of them do "nothing"... | | | | | | | | Square gives an important role to these | | | | NPCs. If you talk to them by using the | | | | [square] button, they will reply you with | | | | a card battle. | | | | | | | | Aside from its role as a mini game, does card | | | | battle give you something good? On in other | | | | words: Is it worth enough to play? | | | | The answer is YES. YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT. | | | | | | | | Quetzalcoatl ability "Card change" allows | | | | you to change a card into items. Rare cards | | | | yield rare items. Rare items are needed to | | | | create best magics, best weapons, etc. | | | | See my point. | | | | | | | | How to Play Card Battle | | | | ---------------------- | | | | | | | | The game is like a cross between a usual card | | | | game (forgot its name) and othello. | | | | More on this later......meanwhile, check | | | | Steven Bruck's Card FAQ. | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Go to elevator. | | | | | | | Take the elevator down. | | | | | | | Walk to the main path. | | | | | | | Check Balamb Garden Map. | | | | | | | Save Point. | | | | | | | Go South to main entrance. | | | | | | | Meet Quistis. | | | | | | | Quistis joins party! | | | | | | | Leave Balamb Garden. | | | | | | | World map. Head East to | | | Fire Cave. | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | --------- | --------------------------------------------- | | FIRE CAVE | The main goal is to get in, fight Efreet and | | --------- | get out under a certain time limit (10,20,30, | | | or 40 minutes). | | | Your choice doesn't seem to make differences. | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Did you take the G.F.s on | | | Squall desk? | | | Return if you forgot. | | | | | | | ! Talk to the guard at the | | | cave's entrance. | | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Choose your time limit. | Twenty minutes should be your standard, | | | | I assume. It's not wise to choose 40 minutes | | | | since you can visit this dungeon after you | | | | defeat Efreet. | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | ! Make your way to the | | | center of the cave. | | | | | | | | | | | ! Efreet shows up! | | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | BOSS FIGHT: EFREET | Have one character junctioned with Quetzal- | | | | coatl and equip some magics on "maryoku" | | | | (magic power). Then cast Burizado on Efreet. | | | | Have another character cast Diamond Dust | | | | (Shiva's attack). Efreet will go down soon. | | | | | | G.F. Efreet acquired! | | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Leave this dungeon. | | | | | | | Return to Balamb Garden. | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | ! Main entrance. Quistis | | | separated. | | | | | | | | | | | Go to Squall's Room. | | | | | | | ! Choose to change clothes.| Change to Balamb Garden's uniform. | | | | | | Rest for a while. | | | | | | | Go to Main hall. | The place with Garden Map. | | | | | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | _______________________Character Profile no.3 | | Event.

Gameshark? Not necessary. I've heard that in Asia, the importers had succeed in created a "backed up" copies of FF VIII. You can play it on a mod-chip equipped system without gameshark codes. It is possible since the "check up points" in the game had been removed. They are: - The staff intro (the black and white slide show) in every disc. - The instruction screen that tellsyou to change disc. And this has been confirmed by Crystal Power (cryspower@hotmail.com). He lives in Malaysia. Seifer's Gunblade Trigger. Someone told me that Seifer has the R1 feature as Squall. You need to push the button slightly faster to do it. I'm not sure about this...maybe it's just a plain rumor. I need some info here. Well, I'm starting to received some responses but I haven't clarify it yet. Please be patient. _____________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------- C R E D I T S ------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________________ ------- Credits ------- Help....? _____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Credits _________________ (Chronological order) - PSM online (www.psx.ign.com)and Gaming Intelligence Agency (www.gaming-intelligence.com). Both has information on gameshark codes that make you able to play the Japanese FF VIII on my PS. I'm sure that others have it too, but I found the codes on the sites above. - Edmund Chiu (edf91@worldnet.att.net) For telling me how to put in Japanese fonts in a document. - Sebastien Ruchet (ruchet@worldnet.net) "Feel free to distribute this walkthrough, however in its current form." I took some of the disclaimer from his Grandia FAQ. A very good FAQ! I hope he will write again when Grandia 2 comes up... (and he will. He told me! Can't wait to read it.) - Matthew Emirzian (mtemichan@aol.com) "This walkthrough (or any part of it) cannot be reproduced or altered by any means without sole permission from the author. Any form of plagiarism will be dealt with under full extent of the law." Same as above. I took some of the disclaimer quotes from his Xenogears secrets FAQ. - James (_ravensong_@yahoo.com) For telling me additional info about Diabolos and being supportive to me. - Rei Urabe (rei_urabe.saitoh@nifty.ne.jp) Special thanks for letting me put her works on this walkthrough. Remember, the credits for the SeeD test answer (the exact answer) list and the G.F. quick list all goes for her. And don't forget the "Eyes on Me" lyrics. You should check her site at member.nifty.ne.jp/Rei/ff8/. - Dennis Fan Chang (dfchang@uci.edu) For being supportive on this work. Thank you for your offer to help; I'll definitely need it pretty soon (since the chart is near completion right now). - Rolf (rcsw@ihug.co.nz) For remind me where I can find the Pet magazine vol.1. He also told me to put my e-mail address properly...I guess he's right. You can see it in ver 0.1 but not in the 0.2, since the "first scene" is dominated with the revision history things etc. Bottom line: Thanks! - Yu Shen Fu (ysf@pacific.net.sg) We discussed the "specials" and finally came up with the specials. I have to thank him for it. Thanks. - Crystal Power (cryspower@hotmail.com) For a confirmation on the miscellaneous gameshark. - Veronica Ferrando (verofer@teleline.es) She sent me a Card Battle Mini FAQ but I haven't got a chance to edit it (since several parts of it are in Spanish) so I guess you'll have to wait until the next update. However, thanks. I appreciate it. - Yulius Leonard (leonard.yulius@mailcity.com) For telling me how to get the Kakutou Oh vol.3, Thanks. For telling me spoilers (about the ending), ... you don't have to tell me about THAT. - And all the supportive ones! __________________ Help...? __________________ If you see the "Read me first" section, you can figure out that I will need help (especially to fill in the blank spaces next to the chart) definitely. - A little plot translations? - Tips? - Comments? - and the most important thing: CORRECTIONS! I know there are many mistakes scattered along in this FAQ, technically or grammatically, but I might not be able to located all of them by myself.
