NOTE: A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to STEVEN BUCKS FOR HIS FAQ ON THE G.F
AND THEIR ABILITIES. IF YOU WANT TO VIEW JAPANESE, REFER TO HIS
FAQ. HIS FAQ IS VERY GOOD.

Guardians are very important in the game as they can done devastating
damage to your foes. They are the returning summons of FF7 and FFT.
Summoning a G.F. will result a blue bar covering the character's time
bar. The stats of the G.F. will be overlapping the character's stats.
Guardian cannot be heal why staying in hotels/tent/Dormitory. They can
only be healed by purchasing healing items such as G-Returner from Pet
shops around the world. Guardians not only allows you to have an edge
in combat, they also help in boosting up your character's ability.
Learning this skills requires AP which can be won from battles against
BOSS/monsters. EXP will causes the G.F. to level up. The higher the
level, the more damage the Guardian will do against an enemy foe.

This has been tested by me. If your Guardian has mastered the previous
ability such as Summon Magic +10%, it will gain the second version,
Summon Magic+20%. Also if that particular G.F has levelled up, It will
also gain new abilities.

2.2 Junction Abilities (J)
=======================================================================
This system is very hard to explain in a few words, but it's worth it.
This system works like FF7 elemental's combo, for example, Fire Materia
linked to an Elemental in Cloud's weapon is the same as junctioning
Fire magic to the character's Attributes Defense.

CHARACTER'S STATS JUNCTION

Junctioning magic to HP, Magic, Body Strength, Magic Strength, Spirit,
Dexrity, Vitality and Evasion allows the stats to raise and this
depends on the following cases:

1. Power of the spell : Fire 3 will work much better to Fire 2
2. Number of spells : 24x of Fire will work much better to 10x of
Fire magic.

CHARACTER'S ATTRIBUTES ATTACK /DEFENSE

Junctioning magic to attribute attack will causes the character to do
more damage to the elemental that you have specified. For example,
junctioning Fire magic to Zell's attribute attack, will cause Zell to
do more damage to fire-based monsters such as Bombs. Junction Fire
magic to Zell's attributes defense, will raises Zell's defense against
Fire. There are intermediate levels of attributes defense such as x2
and x4.

CHARACTER'S STATUS ATTACK /DEFENSE

Junctioning a status elemental magic to Status Attack such as Poison
will causes the character to causes the status elemental as he /she
attacks. For example, if you junction Poison magic to Quistis' Status
Attack, she will cause Poison elemental to her enemies. Junctioning
Poison magic to Quistis' Status Defense will cause Quistis to be immune
against Poison. There are intermediate levels of status defense such
as x2 and x4.

3. L I S T O F M A G I C
=======================================================================

Magic are very often use in combats in Final Fantasy Series, especially
used in FF7 and FFT. Magic also gives you the edge in combat against
enemies. In FF8, magic can be drawn from Magic Stones and enemies.
Magic could help in battle, like infliciting more damage on your enemy
and help to restore lost HP. To use magic command, you must equip the
G.F, along with the commands, MAGIC and DRAW.

DO YOU KNOW ?
It is possible that you will be able to cast 2 to 3 spells in a row,
provided that you have stocked the magic during your last command.
That is to cast Double or Triple and you will be able to cast spells
in a single turn.

Before you read the section below, here is some important rules about
playing FF8:

1. NEVER ever use same-elemental based magic as the same-elemental
monsters. It will do not damage on them or they will nulifie them [
in other words, use it to regenrate lost HP]. Example, using fire on
the Ifrit
2. Fire-based monsters are basically weak against Cold/Water-based
spells. This also applies vice-versa.
3. Humans basically are weak against status disorder and Poison. Poison
on the other hand has no effect on mechnical beasts.
4. Lightning/Water/Cold works best against mechnical beasts. Fire works
quite well on Poison-based monsters. Wind works well against flying
creatures.

Presently the list isn't complete. Wait for the next update.

||===========================||
=================== C R I P L E C R I A D ========================
||===========================||

Cards are a popularity in FF8. You can battle against players in
cities and towns. Before you can begin a card game, please talk to
the man at the elevator early in the game. He will give you a couple
of cards, about 7 of them. With the cards, press Square and you will
be able to challenge players around the world.

Q1: How do I obtained the cards ?
A: Cards can be obtained in the following ways:
1. Beat the Card Game against other opponents
2. Defeating the monsters [rare]
3. Talk to the people [rare]
4. Defeating G.F. monsters
5. Use Card Command.

Q2: How do I played the game?
A: The rules and methods of playing the game is listed below.
The game is played like a tic-tac-toe game. A brief diagram is
illstruated below:

| E | E Elemental of Monster. E.g.
| | Bombs has elemntal of fire.
|______________| ===============================


Each Card has a four numbers written in 4 directions: North, South
East, West. The numbers play a major role in the game. As the
higher the number that the card has, the more powerful it will be.
The numbers also depends on the monsters' abilities too.

TIPS IN PLAYING THE GAME
1. Depending on the rules of the game, you may get to pick the
cards, that you have in your hands. If so, choose your cards
very wisely. Let's says if you have lost your best card, I
suggest that you better retreat from the game. Otherwise your
cards will be picked at random.
2. Firstly, one of the player is randomly choosen to go first. At
this moment, the card can be placed to on any spot of board.
Next the other player will allow to place his/her card on the
board, not necessary touching the opponent's card.
3. Once a card is being placed next to the opponent card, the
numbers that are in place are being compared. The attacker's
strength [the numbers] is higher, the defending card changes
its colour and will be taken by the other player.
4. It is possible for a card to take 4 other cards in a single
move (if placed properly, in middle spot).
5. At the begining of the game, you will be asked to choose five
of your cards. If you have less than 5 cards, the player will
not played the game with you.
6. Your colour section will be blue while your opponent's colour
section will be pink.
7. You can only change the colour of the card on attacking.
8. If you win the game, you will be allowed to choose your
opponent's card. If you have lost the game, the computer will
pick one of your cards.
9. Ocasionally, you will find elements on the board. If a card of
different element/ no element is placed on the board, this will
produces a negative effect [number minus 1]. On the other hand
if a card with the same element is placed on it, it will
produce a positive effect of +1. This applies to late in the
game during Disc 2
10. I myself has invented a SURE-WIN strategy and never has a loss.
Firstly, you must have accquired the Ifrit Card, Diabolo Card
The Brothers [Minotaur and Sacred] Cards and a Tomberry or
better. Here are the 3 start-off points:
1. Place Minotaur in Square No.9
2. Place Sacred in Square No.3
3. Place Diabolo in Square No. 1
Refer to the ASCII art of the board game. In this way, you
will seal off most of the weak points leaving only the good
ones against your opponent.
11. There are certain cases that the computer will not allow you to
choose your own cards, so play at your own risk! Instead the
cards were choosen at random
12. There are special cards such as cards of G.F and even Cards of
your Characters. A is best and 1 is the weakest.

Example No. 1
LEFT: Attacking Card RIGHT: Defending Card
Description:
The left card's number 4 is bigger than the right card's number
3. The attacking card will take over the defending card. The
numbers are higlighted in brackets.

There are a few words before I begin with the list. Firstly I must
thank Steven Bucks for his Cards FAQ's Japanese Translaction for the

suggest that you view his FAQs, they are simply great.

Monsters has played the roles of bad guys in FF series. They still
possesses an importance at FF8. They are gradually important as you can
gain some great items by defeating them. For your convience, I have
arranged them in the order of the cards page.

Well I'm pretty tired after writing the walkthrough for 3 consecutive
days. Watch for the next update.



========================================================================
6. W E A P O N U P G R A D I N G
========================================================================

Another common factor in Final Fantasy Series. As a character becomes
more powerful, he/she will be able to upgrade their weapons to more
powerful situation. Upgrading requires items such as Iron Pipes, Magic
Stones, Magic Stone Fragment, Magic Guidance Stone and screws.

There is also something which is very important for weapon upgrading.
Many people has e-mail to me saying how to upgrade the characters
weapons:

Here are some frequently asked questions that I have found in the
e-mails:

Q1: How do I uprgade my weapons?

A: Before you can upgrade your weapons. Firstly, you must have to find
Weapon Upgrading Guide as they provide information on getting items.
How getting this items, you might need to use the Bundoru ability
or win in battles. Refer to Monster Section for more details.
Once you get the items that are need in upgrading your weapons, you
need find weapon upgrading shops.

Q2: How do I know that I have meet the requirements?

A: As you have upgraded your weapons your screen should look like this:

___________________________________________________
| Title of Weapon Upgrading Shop |
|___________________________________________________|
| Squall Leonhart |
|___________________________________________________|
| | |
| Iron Pipe | Gunblade 100 |
| 1 (3) | |> Keer Straight 200 |
| | Cutting Trigger 400 |
| Screws | Flame Tan 600 |
| 2 (30) | |
| |___________________________________|
| | Strength 45% --> 50 ^ |
| | Accuracy 56% --> 60 ^ |
|_______________|___________________________________|

Well, time for some explainations. The numbers in the brackets are
those that you have in your ITEM inventory. If the numbers exceed the
numbers in the brackets, then you will be unable to perform an
upgrade. Note that you can de-graded your weapon back to it's
original form, but the used materials will be gone forever. If the
numbers 50 and 60 are yellow in colour, that means there is an
upgrade. But if the colour of the digits is red, that means that your
previous upgraded weapon is much better than the weapon you have
choosen to upgrade. [For example, Flame Tan is obviously better than
the Cutting Trigger.]
After making your choice, you will be given a two options. Pick first
option to perform the upgrade while option 2 to cancel.

====================
SPECIAL MOVES
====================

These are the returning Limit Breaks of Final Fantasy VII. Once your
character was low on his/her HP or having Aura cast on him/her. The
character will reveal their desperation move [shown the example below]
It will only appears in critical conditions.
____________
E.g. | Attack |> |--> Special Move
| Magic |
| G.F |
| Draw |
|___________|

Next you will see light coming out from the character's body and thus
resulting the character's special trademark.

=======================================================================
Squall Leonhart
=======================================================================
A box like the one on the right will |
be shown on the lower part of the | ________________________
screen. Next you will see beams of | | |<<<<| |
right to left. Press R1 once it | |______|<<<<|___________|
reaches shaded section. Then you |
will view the hit made by you. If | Once the box hit the |<<|
you have done correctly, you will | area, press R1 to trigger.
next have a chance of Squall doing |
another sword slash.. about 1/6 chance |
if you asked me. Affects only one |
opponent. |
Squall will use different "additional" |
techniques when his gunblade is upgraded |
|
========================================================================
Zell Dincht
========================================================================
I myself love doing Zell's special moves as you can input the way you
wanted Zell to brawl. His special move is quite similar Tifa's limit
break, but in a different way. First you have to input keys and Zell
will do the specific move like for example: Forward, Back, Circle You
will see a time bar at the south-east corner. Zell will immediately
stop if you failed to input the keys in the certain time. Affects only
one opponent. Zell can get new limit breaks by reading fighting manuals,
one is obtained by defeating Edea at the end of Disc 2. Here is
the pattern on using Zell's Specials:

1. Zell will do his Rush Fists.
2. Next a box containing the input of keys will appear. Enter any of
these combinations before ending of Zell's Rush Fists.
3. Now you will unleash the chosen up and chain it again until the time
has reached 00:00
4. Note that you need to chain up within the given time and time will
flick.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Name of Moves | Button Configuration | Volume |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Rush Punch | Circle, X | Intial Attack |
| Head Shock | Forward, Back | Intial Attack |
| Heel Drop | Down, Up | Intial Attack |
| Mach Kick | Back, Back, Circle | Intial Attack |
| Dolphin Blow | L1, R1, L1, R1 | Warrior Guide 001 |
| Meteo Strike | Down, Circle, Up, Circle | Warrior Guide 002 |
| Burning Rave | Down, Down, Down, Down, Circle | Intial Attack |
| Meteo Blast | Up, X, Down, Triangle, Circle | Warrior Guide 003 |
| Different Beat | Triangle, Square, X, Circle, Up| Warrior Guide 004 |
| Final Heaven | Up, Forward, Down, Back, | Warrior Guide 005 |
| | Triangle | |
|________________|________________________________|___________________|


========================================================================
Irwine Kinneas
========================================================================
Irwine's Special is even more fun to |
do. Firstly, you have to buy bullets | __________
or make bullets. His limit breaks | | Bullets |
requires bullets. No Limit breaks when | | no. |
you do not have bullets in hand. Just | |__________|
simply press R1 to shoot and D-Pad to | _____________
specific which enemy you want to shoot. | |____________|
You have a time limit when doing this |
limit break. Shown on the left. Affects |
one or All opponents. |
Irwine's special moves depends on the |
different ammunition in his arsenal. He |
will do more damage with better bullets, |
you need to have mastered Ifrit's "Make |
Bullets" skill. |
========================================================================
Rinoa Heartily
========================================================================
Rinoa's special attacks are also quite |
cool huh. Her dog Angelo has been |
intensively use in battles along with her. |
Her move are rather unique and will do |
all opponents |
She will be able to learn new moves by |
reading magazines on pets. Angelo will |
come to Rinoa's rescue with a charge when |
Rinoa is low on HP. |
========================================================================
Quitsis Trepe
========================================================================
This woman has very damaging special moves |
Her special moves can be obtaining by |
winning battles, stealing from enemies |
using the command [Bundoru] found in the |
Diablo |
|
========================================================================
Selphie Timett
========================================================================
Selphie's special moves solemnly depends |
on the amount of magic that she has | ______________
stocked in her inventory. She has the | | No of Magic |
ability of casting many magic at one time, | | Bolt2 x3 |
for example she will cast 3x Bolt 2 in a | | |
row if she has 3 of that spell in her | | Change |
inventory. I recieved a lot of information | | Decide |
on her | |______________|
Here are some sent by Steven Bucks: |
Full Cure, Wall, The End |
|
========================================================================
Laguna Loire
========================================================================
Well a hot-blooded young man. Laguna seems |
to have only one special move. That is by |
throwing a grenade at opponent, hang onto |
a rope and thus repeating fire at all |
opponents, very damaging |
|
========================================================================
Kiros Seagul
========================================================================
I like Kiros' dashing slash with his |
daggers, likes Yuffies Level 3 Limit Break |
2 [forgetten it's name]. He can does about |
a 500+ HP damage in low levels |
|
========================================================================
Ward Zarback
========================================================================
I was pretty amazed when I first saw |
Ward's Special Move. Cannot believe a huge |
guy like him and leap so high in mid-air. |
Very incredible and unbelieving! |
|
========================================================================
Edea
========================================================================
Edea's special move is basically rather |
automatic. It seems to me that she has |
only one special move. Need more |
information about her special moves |
