I'll start the walkthrough first, and skip all the crap like character
and villain introductions because who really cares about the characters
in the walkthrough?? If you want characters check a character guide or
something like that. I'm also writing this in a different format from my
other faqs, in kind of a like step by step format, I will mention Boss
tips, and what magics should be junctioned. As always as in all my faqs,
ill try to keep this faq 99.9% spoiler free.

Q1-What is FF8?
A1-FF8 is a continuation of one of the greatest rpg series ever. The
final fantasy series made by Squaresoft. The series does not follow a
set pattern, and each Final fantasy game has a different set of
characters, and a different story than the one preceding it. The series
started with the first 3 final fantasy games on the Nes, and the next 3
games on the Snes. FF3(6j),and FF2(4j) are the ones that have been
released in the US for the Snes, and recently FF5, and FF6 were
realeased on the Playstation as part of the Final Fantasy Anthology set.
Q2-Can I still get any Gf's I missed in Discs 1-3 in Disc 4?
A2-Upon defeating the first boss you can unlock the draw command. After
that you can draw some GF's from the bosses there.
Siren=Tri Point
Leviathan=Trauma
Pandemona=Red Giant
Carbuncle=Krysta
Cerebrus=Gargantua
Alexander=Catoblepas
Eden=Tiamat
Q3-Can I still get Lionheart, or buy items in Disc 4?
A3-Tonberry King has an ability called Junk Shop which allows you to get
weapons in Disc 4. It also has an ability which lets you buy items in
Disc 4.

-To raise your seed ranking you need to do good deeds for Seed, and you
will be rewarded with a Seed level raise, or you can take tests to
raise your level. Tests can be taken at the tutorial menu under the
heading of TESTS. You can only take as many tests as Squall's level.
That is if Squall is level 11, then you may take the tests up to
level 11. The higher your Seed level is, the more money you will
recieve every half an hour or so

| guy in his place. |
-----------------------------------------------------

| At Level 10 |

| Attacks-Diablo Rush 200 Damage |
| Graivja Takes away 3/4 of everyone's HP |
| You can draw Demi Magic from Diablo |
| 1st Turn-Draw-Cast Demi Magic with everyone |
| If he uses Gravija then Good |
| Skip Selphies turn, until Squall, and Quistis can use |
| their limits, then switch to Selphie and get her limit |
| use Do Over until you get Full Cure, then cast it |
| Following this strategy, you should be able to deal |
| some good damage with Demi on Diablo if you can manage |
| to draw some. Then with Squalls high Strength you should |
| deal about 2,000+ each turn, and healing fully with |

| Timber Maniacs(Timber Maniacs) |
---------------------------------
-Upon arriving in Timber, you will be approached by a person who
tells you the code "Oh, the forest of Timber sure has changed"
you should reply "But the Owls are still around" but it doesn't
really matter what you pick
-You will be told to wake up the leader in the back of the train, do
so and you will meet, and name Rinoa, the girl that you danced with
in the Balamb Garden ball
-Go to the strategy room and learn about your mission
-Go back to the room in the back and pick up the Pet Pals Vol.2 that is
now there
-Challenge Watts to a game of cards to win the Angelo card
-Speak with Watts to begin your mission
----------------------
| Rinoa's Limit Breaks |

| You should now have 2 new Pet Pals magazines. You need to |
| go to the Item screen and read the magazines by pressing |
| X on them. After reading go to Rinoa's status screen, and |
| flip through the screens until you get to Angelo's screen. |
| Tricks with a full red bar represent learned tricks and |
| can be used in battle, while tricks with an empty bar can |
| not be used in battle. To learn the trick, you need to |
| highlight the unlearned trick and exit the main menu. As |
| Rinoa walks around the bar will slowly fill up. When you |
| hear a sound while walking around, this means that the new |
| trick has been learned and you should highlight a new one. |
-------------------------------------------------------------
-The plan consists of seven steps
Step 1:Catch up to the 2nd escort car
Step 2:Proceed across the roof of the 2nd car
Step 3:Proceed across the roof of the president's car
Step 4:Uncouple the 1st car
Step 5:Have the dummy car hook up with the escort car
Step 6:Uncouple the 2nd car
Step 7:Escape with the president's car
In-Depth Plan Walkthrough
Step 1:Just follow Rinoa to the next car
Step 2:The 2nd car is supposed to have some tight security but you
will soon find out that their security system is busted so
just run across the roof of that car
Step 3:Just run across again
Step 4:Selphie and Zell will look out for the soldiers, when they
yell make sure to pull yourselves up or you'll have to start
over. Rinoa will yell the codes to you and you have to insert
them in quickly in 5 seconds or so
Step 5:The guys back at the base will handle this, and you'll get to
see another FMV
Step 6:Zell and Selphie can't look out for you this time, so after
about every two codes are inserted by Squall, use R1 or R2
to check if they are coming. If they are then just pull
yourself up and then come down and finish inserting the codes
Step 7:If you inserted all the codes correctly, then you will see
another FMV
-If you do the entire process without failing, you will gain a Seed
Level
-After all of this you will wind up in the President's car
-Save your game on the Save Point
-Junction some magic and GF to your characters and head through
the door
-Turns out the president is a fake, and you have to fight that
bastard

| Gerogero-Very weak Vs Holy/Weak Vs Fire+Earth/Immune to Poison |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| Just use your normal attacks to destroy the Fake President |
| easily, none of his attacks do any significant damage. After |
| he is dead, he transforms into Gerogero. You can either fight |
| it out, or just use an Elixir, X-Potion, or Phoenix Down on him. |
| The Phoenix Down will often miss, whereas the Elixir, or |
| X-Potion will result in an instant and definite kill. |

-Ride a bus from there to get to Caraway's mansion
-Speak with the guard to get your mission to retrieve a sword number
from the tomb of the unknown kings

the GF that lies within
-Its also a good idea to go to the Weapon shop and upgrade your weapons
-You can get Saw blades from Belhelmels, and you can steal steel pipes
with the mug ability from the Wendigo's outside Deling city
-Head northeast to the Tomb of the Unknown King at the end of the long

| Draw Protect and cast it on all of your characters. If you want |
| to cut off Sacred's healing power, then cast float on it. Sacred's |
| attacks don't deal that much damage, so don't worry. Draw as much |
| life, and Protect magic from it before finishing the fight. The |
| higher your Magic power is, then the more magic you will be able |
| to draw. Protect magic junctions great to Vitality, and Life |
| junctions well to either life, or Spirit. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-After the battle Sacred will run away
-Your goal now is two-fold
-Be aware that it is very confusing making your way around the maze so
try not to get lost. The enemies here give good rewards, and aren't
too hard, so spend some time here to draw some magic from the Buel's,
Armadodo's, and Blobra's around the Tomb. Check the creature list
for more info on these enemies
-The blobra changes its magic weakness with each fight, so have each
character cast a different element of magic on the Blobra, and you
will kill it in one hit
-Head to the floodgate, and open it, then head over to the drawbridge
and lower it. A new path will now open near the middle. Go back to the
entrance, and head straight north to reach a room. It's best to save
before going in, because a pretty tough fight awaits. Also make sure
to have some Float,life,and healing magic
-When your reach the center, you will find the big brother, and he'll
call his smaller, but stronger brother.

| Step 1: Cast Float on all three of your characters to prevent the |
| Brothers from using their most powerful attacks |
| Step 2: Cast Float on the two bosses to stop their healing effect |
| from healing back your attacks |
| Step 3: Recast Float on whoever needs it |
| Step 4: Summon GF's, or use Regular attacks concentrating on one |
| Brother at a time |
| Step 5: Cast Double on someone so someone can heal your characters |
| Hp when it gets low |
| Step 6: When your Hp gets low, press circle over, and over to get |
| the characters limit break to really bring pain onto the brothers |
| especially Squall's limit break as it can do 2000+ damage. |
| Step 7: When they are dead, you will recieve the Brothers Gf, and |
| the Sacred card. Walk up to the tomb and get the Minotaur card |
| from there. |

-Its time to return to Deling city
-The Thrustaevis enemies around the tomb will sometimes drop Windmills
which can be refined into 20 tornado spells each with the T Mag-RF
from the Quezacotl GF
-These Tornado spells raise your HP by 2800 every 100 you junction
to your Hp. Its best to get about 15 windmills, and junction 100
tornadoes to each character to raise their HP really high

| Make sure to have one of your characters draws Carbuncle from |
| either of the two Iguions. Don't forget to draw, or you won't have |
| another chance until the end of the game in the final dungeon. They |
| are very easy to defeat since they have a very low Hp. Use Brothers |
| to kill the two Iguions in one hit as long as its powered up enough |
| since the Iguions are weak against Earth magic. Their attack Magma |
| Breath does lots of damage, and can petrify your characters, and |
| once both characters are stoned then its game over, so make sure to |
| use some soft items to reverse that effect. You can also draw some |
| Break magic from the Iguions if you want. |

| Edea uses alot of magic since she is a sorceress so its best to |
| summon the new GF that you just obtained Carbuncle to reflect |
| some of that magic back onto her. This battle can be lost, and |
| you also will continue with the story, so don't worry about this |
| battle too much, just try your hardest, and try to win the 20 Ap |
| that Edea drops. Don't forget to draw some magic from Edea. |
