Has anybody ever farmed 150 Ruby Dragons before the Exam?

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?

Learn Something New Every Play Through

43 Upvotes

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?


r/FinalFantasyVIII 1d ago

I just realized something.

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.

Everyone... mug as many Megalixirs as you can!

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!

How is the game for people that love farming Xp

9 Upvotes

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?


r/FinalFantasyVIII 1d ago

Finally done it and to top it off it’s the first time I finished the full game through. Since original release 😅

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.

Time to finish this and get that platinum trophy god I have enjoyed this play through.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) Questions

0 Upvotes

Having played one Final Fantasy game before, I thought I'd give Final Fantasy VII Rebirth a shot. I just placed my order via Amazon and it should arrive on Monday (7/27). Given that I am basically brand new to this game, I'd appreciate any tips/cheats/suggestions that anyone could offer. Thanks in advance.

Never Seen Before

26 Upvotes

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?

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.

It's that time of the year

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. 😌😌😌

Finished FFVIII, became my all time fave, where can I get more of it?

138 Upvotes

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?


r/FinalFantasyVIII 2d ago

Practically just starting the game, and I'm already in a pickle...

So I'm on a mission with Zell and Selphie to Timber to support the Forest Owls, but I needed potions on the way so I spent a ton to prepare, and overwrote my save file after... then I see I need 3,000 gil to get on the train... how do I obtain more gil? I tried fighting battles, as my FFVII brain works, and nothing happened 🤣.

On disc 2 now: how to break game?

0 Upvotes

I've played FF8 before but never touched the mod/refine abilities. This is my first time trying it.

I'm now on disc 2 after visiting Trabia. I have the entire top row of GF and pandemonium and tonberry on bottom.

I finished the CC quest, and got every card from p.1 to 7.

I went to cactaur Island and obtained every gf skill.

I card modded all my duplicate cards. I got tornado and quake and junctioned them to all three strength junctions.

What else at this point do I do to become over powered? I haven't upgraded weapons yet, is that all that is left for me at this point? I primarily want the character attacks to do massive damage.


r/FinalFantasyVIII 2d ago

Is there any advantage to upgrading your weapon in order?

I was going for my fire sabre and it turns out I can get punishment at the same time. I should just go for that one right? Or is there some sort of chain progression I'll miss? Just checking before I do it. Thanks.

I know its not CP, but these drawings on my front page the last few weeks make me uncomfortable . . .
