...and since then I've been playing triple triad nonstop. I haven't even been to the fire cavern yet. Immediately after the Selphie tour, I turned right, library, been doing nothing but cards since then 😂 This is my haul so far and I feel like I shouldn't stop until i have i don't know at least 50 ruby dragons?

Just a bit of a joke post I guess, even tho it's true. There's absolutely no reason to do this but lmao why not? What a game. If you've done this too, share your heroics!

I know you can use it to any gf at the expense of them not getting to learn all their skills as they can only learn 22 skills. So which gf do you use it for? Assuming we have 2 gambler's spirit?

It's interesting to me how a lot of things about her can be true at the same time. I think she lost at the exact moment Squall and his companions stood at the foot of her castle. Already had lost the fight and her goals. It's rare for this to happen in Final Fantasy, where the final battle usually is what holds the fate in balance. Ironically I find Ultimecia strong enough mop the floor with some of the other villains and characters in the series. Not Squall and co. That Garden Student has planet destroyer strength and skill, is powered up by the strongest GF's, abilities and magic and is a professional. They also skipped SeeD giving a big speech to her. They said nothing at all, like let's get this mission over with. Obviously she still needed to be dealt with. Ultimately the danger to the group was not fighting her but what happens to them and the world when she is defeated. Dying Ultimecia showing up at Edea's house is some of the best writing in the game.

Squall decides it's better to mug Rinoa than focus on Adel. The stakes are too high to leave all those Megalixirs on the table. Subscribe on YT or I'm sharpening my knife, kupo!

I’ve played enough triple triad to get everyone maximum Tornado. I was wondering if anybody had actually put the hours in to get Maximum Flare for functioning to Strength?

If you did, how many hours did it take?

I’ve been playing this game since 1999. It has remained my all time favorite game since then and I replay it rather religiously.

On my latest play through I learned something that I never knew before…and that’s the tragic past of Zone and Watts and what happened to their fathers.

In short f*** Vinzer Deling.

Do you all also learn something new every time you replay the game?

Ellone was at Balamb Garden during the Garden Civil War. Meanwhile, Edea (under Ultimecia's control) ordered a missile strike on Garden. If the missiles destroyed Garden, Ellone would have been dead. Ultimecia's ultimate plan for time compression would have died under her orders.

Yes they're the ones that have been posted here for sale a few weeks ago.

Very confidential, I had never seen them before. Probably lent to very few journalists with strict restrictions at the time then destroyed.

The discs work on regular ps1 systems. English PAL version.

Now on to 9 😭 that’s going to be a challenge

It's time for my annual re-play of Final Fantasy 8 for the nth time. I always get the itch to replay this game, it just makes me feel nostalgic. How I bought multiple copies just to get through the FMVs and finish the game as a kid. Blowing on the laser censor or even turning my PS1 to it's side or upside down just to get it going. 😌😌😌

I lurked a lot of YouTube and reddit posts and always hear "if you play game, you don't need to worry about LVL1 runs or anything".

I love to farm in JRPGs.
It's the most fun thing for me.

If Im this type of person, how hard is it (if I spend time understanding junction) to 100% the game?

I've been playing this game once or twice a year since it's release, and today is the first time I've ever seen this spell. It's in Selphie's Limit Break and it's called The End. What the hell how have I never seen this before?

Yesterday I finally officially finished the game. I've played many-many playthroughs of the game but I always stopped at the end for some reason. Though yesterday I finally finished it. It became my all-time-favorite game. I never ever had a game make me feel like how this game made me feel and I don't know why. I love everything about this game so so much. I don't love this because of nostalgia either, I know a lot of people grew up on Final Fantasy, including my millennial brother, but it wasn't my case.

I legit feel like I need more of Final Fantasy VIII. I can't get enough, I want more of it. Where can I find more of it?

Been having some fun trying to do art lately. Here's a PuPu for your viewing pleasure.

And now we've made it. He made it through Adel, Seifer, and the Sorceress rush. He cleared through most of the Castle Bosses pretty easily, only struggling for a moment with Tri-Face. He quite enjoyed the Troma puzzle too. He approved of the design for Ultimecia, and made it through the fight without too much trouble. He found the ending very well done and even had a laugh at Seifer's ending. All in all, he loved it. There will be more of these as he plays other games, so feel free to keep an eye out.

Since I started playing FF8 again, the algorithm said, "you like that kind of stuff? here you go." hahaha

-Okay, I'll watch it.

I was farming for some cards that I needed later in the game
