You will take the role of the super cool Squall whom is led by Seifer, his rival to recapture the city of Dollet. The city has fallen into the hands of the evil President Deling, the dictator of the warlike nation, Galbadia…. ** The hero Squall, trained as a mercenary at a military academy, meets a girl named Rinoa at a party. Gradually influenced by her bohemian lifestyle, Squall rejects family and friends for people as yet… strangers.

The higher the stats, the more damage your character will inflicit with the Attack Command. ** Body Strength ** This factor effects the defensive power of your character. The higher the defensive stats, the lesser the amount of damage inflicited by your opponent. ** Magic Strength ** This factor effects the magic attacking power of your character. The higher the stats, the more damage your character will inflicit when using magic. ** Spirit ** This factor effects the magic defensive power of your character. The higher the stats, the lesser the amount of damage inflicited by your opponent when it uses magic. ** Dexrity ** This factor effect the speed of your time bar or ATB (also known Active Time Bar]. The higher the stats, the faster the ATB is. ** Evasion ** This factor effect the rate whether your character will escape from an enemy’s attack [causing a MISS in the opponent's attack]. The higher the stats, the more chance your character will dodge from an attack. ** Accuracy ** This factor effect the rate whether your character will hit your opponent with the Attack Command. The higher the stats, the lesser chance that your character will miss an attack [great against Cactuars] ** Luck ** This one I not quite sure. But I think that it will effect the rate whether the Odin will appear. It also effect the rate whether your character could escape from status ailments such as death. If you have the luck stats of 100+, you will be able to see the Gilamgesh in between battles! ** Status Attack ** This is similar to FF7’s Elemental combo on your character’s weapon Your character will inflicit damage and also causes status ailments on your opponent. For example if you want to cause sleepel with your character attack, junction Sleepel to your Status Attack. ** Status Defense ** I myself prefered this than status attack. This works like FF7’s Elemental combo on your character’s armor. Your character will receive protection against the elemental that you have junctioned. For example if you want your character to be protected against Confusion, junction Confu to your status defense. It would be better if you have acquired the Ribbon [prevents any status disorder, it's a secret G.F. ability, haven't gotten it yet] ** Attribute Attack ** This is rather USELESS. If you want to do more damage against Fire- based monsters such as the Bomb, junction Ice to your junction as Ice works well against Fire. However, ice-based monsters will nullifies the attack, thus you are helping them to restore lost HP! ** Attribute Defense ** This is much preferred against Attribute Attack. As you can recieved no damage from elementals or nullifies it and restore your HP. This ability could make your life easier. If you junction Ultima to your Attribute defense, you will be able to nullify any kind of magic. For example if you want your character to protect well against Fire, junction Fire to the character’s attribute defense. ## JUNCTION ## ———————————————————————-0 Once you have chosen Junction, you will have this menu. Press Circle and choose the “JUNCTION” tap. The top tool bar will have the following options: ___________________________________________________ | | | JUNCTION | |_____________|_____________________________________ This allows you to set the G.F monsters that you would like the character to use and this will lead to the Optimize and Ability Menu. After selecting this command you will have the following screen: ______________________________________________ | Well, let’s get started. G.F Page No. 1 G.F Page No. 2 | Here is the layout of _________________ __________________ | all the G.Fs. [] |Queztalcoatl [] | |Brothers | | represents a character |Shiva | |Diablo | | has already picked the |Ifrit [] | |Carbunkle | | G.F. If you point the |Siren | |Leviathan | | cursor next to it, you |_________________| |__________________| | will see the name of | the character that the G.F Page No. 3 G.F Page No. 4 | G.F is currently _________________ __________________ | equipped with. Press |Pandemonium | |Bahamut | | D-Pad right or left |Cerberus | |Sabotander | | to change pages. |Alexandar | |Tonberi | | Press Circle to select |Grasharaboras | |Eden | | the G.F. Press X after |_________________| |__________________| | you have finished | equipping your G.Fs. ______________________________________________| — Optimize Menu. If you have acquired junction abilities [icons with «J»], you will find that you can junction magic to bolster your character’s stats. This is rather difficult and here is a part of it. Press Circle and you will see the Magic Page on the right of character’s photo ________ __________________ | | |MAGIC P1 NUM | I have “cut” the screen to a small | PHOTO | |Fire 100 | part as what I am saying will be | OF | |Ice 100 | focusing on within this area. For | SQUALL | |Bolt 100 | example if you want to junction 100x |________| |Ice 3 100 | Fire to your Strength [provided that ________|__________________| you have acquired Strength J]. Select | | Status chart. |___________________________|_____________________ | Fire — 99% Poison — 0 % | AT ATK —– | Ice — 0 % Wind — 0 % | |AT DEF Fire | Bolt — 0 % Water — 0 % | AT DEF —– | Earth — 0 % Holy — 0% | |__________________________________| STATUS ATTACK /DEFENSE JUNCTION WINDOW —————————————— ___________________________ Tip: Press Right to change back to | AT ATK/DEF–| Elemental chart. |___________________________|__________________________________ | Instant Death — 0% Zombie — 0% | ST ATK —– | Poison — 0% Sleep — 0% | ST DEF —– | Petrify — 0% Slow — 0% | ST DEF —– | Blind — 0% Stop — 0% | | Silent — 0% Confuse — 0% | | Berserk — 0% Absorption — 0% | |_______________________________________________| I have missed out one of them and I am rather tired in redrawing the table. That one is Darkness [I could counter that 100% when I junctioned Aura to it]. That applies to Status Defense only. Ocassionally, if you junction 100x of a spell to the characters’ attributes defense, you will see a green-colour star. This marks that the spell being cast on the equipped character will be nullified. A green star marks 100% protection against the spell [which means it does 0 HP damage.] Over 100% will instantly nullifies the spell. Thanks to fuuie for his precise guide on magic junctioning. ## REMOVE ## ———————————————————————-0 Removes all the spells are set using the Junction Menu. Your character stats will change back to it’s original. The numbers of the stats also decreases. You will be given a message box, if you have junctioned magic to the character’s maximum HP through HP J. Removes all equipped Commands [G.F command, Magic command, Item command, Draw command, G.Fs command such as Recovery set that is by using the Junction Option. And of course the magic spells that are junction to your character's stats. It removes the equipped G.F. This option works well when you want to transport all G.Fs to another character. ## OPTIMIZE ## ----------------------------------------------------------------------0 Optimizes the spells by configuring according to the attacking power. The character's attacking stats are the highest. Optimizes spells for the highest magic attack and defense. Junction better magic [also giving you better results] to the Magic Strength. Optimizes spells for highest defensive power. Junction the better magic [also giving you better results] to the character’s Body Strength. ## ABILITY ## ———————————————————————-0 This option is the only way to configure what other actions, that your character could perform besides the normal attacks and special attacks. Once you have equipped a G.F, you will have 4 four commands being set. Here is the list of “BASIC” commands [all G.Fs have it!]: Allows your characters to cast the spells that you have drawn from opponents or Draw Points. Must have the draw command in order to draw magic! Allows you to summon the G.F. monsters. There you will see the HP of the G.F. replacing the HP of the commanding character. There is a time bar in blue. The monster will automatically being summoned as all the blue bar has been used up. This can be cancel if the monster’s HP reaches zero, being cast a confusion spell or silence spell. |One of the most important commands used in the game. With this command, |you can “draw” magic such as Fire, Bolt and much more from enemies. |NOTE: You must have this command in order to draw magic from the Draw | Points [purple translucent bubbles]. |—-[Stack] |Saves the magic for later use. Up to the maximum number of 9 spells |that can be drawn, this will depend on the level of your opponent, the |level of your character and your luck. | |—-[Release] |One charge can be drawn in this way, but the spell will immediately |expelled. The spell is being used at half of the damage. But this |situation is good for if you want to cast a spell that you have not |drawn before. There is a high possibility for you to draw question |marks from enemies. Allows you to use items such as Potions, Phoenix Downs when engaged in combat. This are pretty handy when your character is unable to use magic [e.g. being silenced]. Also allows you to summon some special monsters such as the Phoenix. For the usage of other commands, refer to Part II for more details. ======================================================================== 2.2.2. ITEM MENU ======================================================================== Items apparently are one of the most important factors in FF8. They will help you to restore HP, cure status disorder and helps in battles. I have classified them in six groups MEDICINE: Healing items such as Potions, Phoenix Downs and Elixirs. JUNK: Items such as Magic Stone Fragment, Magic Stone and Screws These items can not be use through the item command, however some of them provides some special desperation moves for Quistis and Weapon Upgrading. They can also be converted in materials for making Magic through Abilities Menu G.F: Item used in restoring G.F’s lost HP or Life and allows G.Fs to learn new abilities. Provide that you have enough space… BATTLE: Items that are only useable through the item command. One good example is the Phoenix Wing. FIELD: Items that are group-based type, and only useable at Save Points, examples are Tents and Pet Houses/ MAGAZINE: Useful booklets which tells you requirements on Weapon Upgrading, new moves for Rinoa and new moves for Zell. BULLETS: This item are battle-type items and are used through Irvine’s Special Moves. Drawing a full ASCII Art of the Item menu requires, time so I only draw out the Tool Bar. __________________________________________________________________ | | ITEM | |_______________________________________________________|__________| This will enable you to use the items directly from the item menu. Only healing items such as Potions can be used from here. You can also view books, activate the item to fight the Diablo from here! To summon G.F Grasharaboras, use the Solmon’s Ring through this command. [make sure you have met the requirements. You can also use items to let Quistis to learn special moves, improve G.F affection by using G.F affections items, upgrade character's stats with sources and allows you to read magazines. Allows you to arrange the items in your preferred way. Doing this will be much easier while in searching for the items that you wished to use. You can arranged the items by switching places and placing them in a blank space. There are about 25 item pages. This will cause the computer to arrange the items. Useable and important ones will be the top at the menu, while those unusable ones will be arranged at the lower section. Practically it is arranged in this order: [MEDICINE]-[G.F]-[BATTLE]-[FIELD]-[BULLETS]-[JUNK]-[MAGAZINES] This section allows you to arrange what you want to appear at the item pages [through item commands] Allows you to arrange the items in your own peference. Well look something like this: ________________________ |ITEM P1 NUM. | To change it’s position, just simply |Potion 100 | the item on the top left screen and select |Phoenix Down 20 | another item [the spot where you want to |Remedy 6 | place the first item] There are about 10 |Gisaal Vegetables 1 | pages for items. You can use stones such |________________________| as Holy stone as you are casting Holy! ======================================================================== 2.2.3. MAGIC MENU ======================================================================== Magic apparently is an important factor in battles. Magic does decent amount of damage and some does massive amount of damage to a group of enemies, e.g. the Ultima Magic. Well here is the ASCII Toolbar of the Magic Menu. ______________________________________________________________________ | | MAGIC | |___________________________________________________________|__________| Allows you to use magic from the menu directly. NOTE: You can’t use attacking magic such as Bolt, Fire, Ice, etc. You can only use all healing magic except for Regen. Usable magic will have white-color Japanese fonts. |Allows you to trade magic even a particular member is not currently in |your present party. There are a total of 3 commands from this section | |—-[Hand over all] |Gives all the amount of a particular magic from an existing character |to the selected character in the lower row. Firstly select your |character and then select the magic spell you want to trade and then |select the character you want to give to and select the space where |you want to put the magic [All the amount of the current magic will be |given to the other character, e.g. If Squall has 3 Heal magic and you |trade Heal with Quistis, Quistis will have all the 3 Heal magic] | |—-[Receive All] |Gives the top character to receive the amount of a particular spell |from the character at the bottom row. E.g. Squall is the top character, |and Quistis is the lower character. Select Quistis and the spell you |want to trade to Squall. Squall will have all the selected spell that |Quistis originally has. | |—-[Divide] A better command. This option allows you to specify the number of magic that each of the character will recieve. The character must already has that spell in his/her own inventory. Allows the above character to receive all the magic from the bottom character. Very useful if you want to transfer all the spells from a character whom isn’t in your party to the other character. A very common command used in arranging placing your magic in order for easy access during combat. Each character has 8 magic pages for Magic. Too bad that there isn’t any option that you can removed magic…. I have found a way to discard useless magic such as Fire (which is quite weak later in the game..) you can trade the magic to Edea whom joins you in Disc 3. ___________________ |MAGIC P1 NUM | |Ultima 45 | |Bolt 3 100 | |Aura 100 | |Triple 100 | |___________________| ======================================================================== 2.2.4 STATUS WINDOW ======================================================================== This menu allows you to view the various abilities of your characters.

This allows you to view the character’s resistance against elements such as Poison and Ice. It also allows you to view their resistance against magic that causes status disorder such as Sleepel and Blind. Occasionally you will see a star at your character’s attributes defense stats and status defense stats. That means that your character can nullifies that kind of elemental damage or protect from the status ailment 100%!

WATER: Water elemental is great against monsters located at desert and mechnical beasts. Water works well against Fire-based monster. HOLY: Holy elemental works well against the undead [«false HP»]. Heal is an example of Life/Holy Magic.

W A L K T H R O U G H F O R D I S C 1 ======================================================================== NOTES: I have added information on what kind of magic that you have drawn from the Draw Point and the kind of items which you have obtained by defeating the BOSS. However note that the list obtained from the battle will ONLY be avaliable if you did not use the Bundoru command. The statics of the BOSS’ HP and what kind of magic you will be drawing is variable depends on the stats of Squall. In other words, it means that as Squall has attained higher levels, the stats of the BOSS will increase. Personally, I did not know much about Japanese. All the translations are taken from a website [mentioned in credits section]. Thanks a lot or this FAQ will not be possible. The FMVs are SPOILERS, don’t read too much about them. Thanks to Macro “Vegeta” Colombo for the lyrics: ________________________________________________________________________ ****** Liberi Fatali ****** Excitate vos e somno, liberi mei. Cunae non sunt. Excitate vos e somno, liberi fatali. Somnus non eat. Surgite. Invenite hortum veritatis. Ardente veritate Urite mala mundi. Ardente veritate Incendite tenebras mundi. Valetem, liberi, Diebus fatalibus For the english translation of the song, head for the following website www.geocities.com/Area51/Nova/9862/ ________________________________________________________________________ ** Starting FMV Sequence ** Squall’s lover, Rinoa waiting eagerly for him, is surrounded by a beautiful haze of cherry blossoms and followed by some cut scenes of the battle between Squall and Seifer. Unfortunately, Squall got injured by the powerful Seifer in the process [Seifer has used magic! which is not being allowed during the battle], thus leaving a scar on his forehead. Squall return fires… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 3.0 F A M I L I A R I S I N G G A R D E N zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Squall will be lying unconscious at the Infirmary when he was inspected by the doctor of Balamb Garden [Dr. Kadowaki]. Dr. Kadowaki will be asking Squall whether he is alright or not, pick any one for Squall’s reply and you will be given a chance to name your character [SQUALL]. After a short conversation, Dr Kadowaki will phone Squall’s teacher, and you will have another FMV sequence… ** FMV ** Squall sighs and will be lying back on the bed. A girl dressed in blue, peeped into the infimary through the window and leaves as soon as Squall turns his head. This followed a lady wearing a pair of spectacles, dressed in the SeeD uniform whom is entering the Infirmary. That person is actually Quistis and she will instruct Squall to follow her to the classroom. Along the walkway, you will be able to talk to her by pressing the Circle button. Next you will have another FMV sequence about the students at Balamb Garden. Just followed her down the path. Next, Squall will be entering the classroom, noticed how sloppy Squall was! At the back row of the classroom, you will see Squall along with his rival, Seifer. Quistis will talk to the class that they will begin the SeeD final examinations. [The SeeD examinations is critical for those whom want to be fully-pledged SeeD soldiers.] After the exams, you will be regaining control of Squall, and this time, you will be able to view your menu [pressing Triangle button]. Now talk to Quistis whom is surrounded by a group of students. She will tell you go to the Cave of Fire and find the G.F monster, Ifrit. [G.F stands for Guardian Force monsters]. You can now go back to your seat and watch the tutorial, and tried to get a slight idea on how to use the Junction system. [Balamb Garden Network, Tutorial Menu] ********************* Balamb Garden Network **************************** [Study Panel] The network is user-friendly and easy to use. Just simply get back to Squall’s desk, pressing Circle on the study panel and you will be able access the student’s network. Next pick the first option [Tutorial], and you will be able to take your first two Guardian Force Monsters: G.F Queztalcoatl and G.F Shiva. You will be asked to name the G.F and thus being brought to the screen where you name your characters. Next you can spend your time browsing the other options.
