This is my Final Fantasy 8 page. FF8 was a decent successor to the series, one which I thoroughly enjoyed playing. But unlike FF6 and FF7, it is ridiculously tedious to conquer. Much like FF4. Read on.

FF8 FAQ:
- A quick note to people playing FF8 via an emulator. DO NOT take Rinoa with you to the Garden in Disk 2 when your party splits up. Put her on Selphie's team to attack the missle base. If she goes to the Garden with you, your emulator will make you stuck after the bonus FMV when your Garden becomes mobile and you go out to the deck to see. I spent many hours googling for a solution. There doesn't seem to be any solution except this one. This problem affects PCSX abd ePSXe. I am willing to bet it is a problem in other emulators as well.
- How do you max out all your stats without junctioning magic? Easy.. er.. well sort of. It's actually just tedious. If you study the refinement process long enough, you'll notice that items like Str Up and and Spr Up can all be refined from common items. You can get all of them except Evade and Hit. The problem is, most of these processes involve you refining 100 of some item won in battle just to get one stat bonus item. And you're going to need hundreds of stat bonus items to max your characters' stats. Here's the chart:
By my calculations, you'd need to fight millions, possibly even billions of battles depending on your luck in order to get the necessary raw material to refine them all. My patience not being quite that limitless, just like in FF4, I resorted to hacking my savegame in order to fully conquer the game. For the record, my savegame is 100% legit all except for the natural stat bonuses. I hacked those into the game.
- What? You didn't hack in any Pocketstation items? Actually, I did. I got 3 Ribbons for my GFs. But other than that, nope, sorry. I could have, but what would be the point? All that's worth getting besides those is the MiniMog summon. And it won't work unless you actually have a Pocketstation.
- So how did I get so much absurd quantities of money? Easy! Er.. well tedious! FF8 has a glitch, much like FF7's W-Item bug, except that this glitch allows us to generate infinite money. Here's how it works. Get GFs Tonberry and Leviathan. Learn Tonberry's Haggle and Sell High abilities. And learn Leviathan's Recovery Medicine Refine ability. Now buy 100 tents, convert them into mega potions using Recovery Medicine Refine, and sell the mega potions back to the shop. You get nearly 200k gil in profit! Run your emulator on a speed mode and run a macro to do this then go to sleep. Wake up next morning to absurd quantities of gil.
- How in the hell did I get every card? Nope, no cheating this time. The card game is actually very simple. Only a few nasty rare ones impede collectors. A guide may be included here later.
- Another note about cards: refining them is virtually pointless. A lot of people gush at the prospect of refining all their cards at the end of the game, but if you look at the list of stuff you can actually get from them, you'll find it's nothing you can't get normally in the game with the exception of the items like Holy War. As for that, who cares? With 255 each stat you're virtually invincible anyway. And with Rinoa's Invincible Moon limit break, you really don't need them. That's why I didn't bother hacking any into my game when I hacked in my stat bonuses and ribbons. So what is the point of getting every card then? Because having them all is cool! And you get that neat little star next to the Card menu item..
- How do I get Quistis' Shockwave Pulsar? Refine 100 Curse Spikes using Siren's Tool Refinement ability. Siren must be at level 100 for this to work.
- How do I get Selphie's The End limit break? Pure luck. The chances of you landing it when you cycle through her slots are extremely low. BTW, if you think you're missing one of Selphie's breaks, don't worry. She only has four. They're Full Cure, Wall, Rapture, and The End. Selphie is arguably the most powerful character in the game, what with her ultimate weapon giving her 255 natural hit and her The End limit break obliterating most enemies, including bosses, and even Omega Weapon. But I just don't have the patience to sit around slotting for it. My preferred party of Zell, Squall, and Rinoa is powerful enough.
- What do I get for collecting all the Timber Maniacs magazines? Absolutely nothing. Yep, that's right folks. All it does it make Selphie's little web page in the Garden Computer have a few blurbs about Laguna's past. The benefit for collecting them all is having her tell you a more complete story of Laguna's past. Sounds interesting, but it's really not. Nothing in those magazines isn't anything you won't learn just by beating the game.
- Don't understand FF8's enigmatic story? Here is an explanation in the form of a timeline.

hey folks,
i've got a problem playing final fantasy VIII for playstation with epsxe and psx 1.13 emulator. the problem is the following:
i have finished cd1 - the fight versus cifer and edea - and saved my game ( on three different slots at the virtual memory card ( slot 1, 5 and 9 ). after saving, the game tells me to change to disc 2, but when i do so, a screen occurs that sais that i have inserted the wrong disc ( 'das ist die falsche cd' - 'this is the wrong disc' is what the screen tells me ).
i own and use the original game ( i can post screenshots if you wish ). to get the game started, i had to make an iso-file of cd1 and 'patch' it with some file i found on the internet. there was no other way to get the game started. i tried to continue my game with the original playstation disc 2, but that got me the error. so i made an iso of the cd2 and tried to use epsxe/psx1.13 function 'run iso' - both did not work. i also tried to continue my game with the iso of cd2 mounted by daemon tools, reconfiguring epsxe/psx1.13 'cd-rom-letter' - but the ingame screen always tells me that i have the wrong disc inserted. i tried all 3 savegames with the different types of 'cd2's'.
because i am a german i use the german version of final fantasy VIII ^^ thats also why my english might seem strange to you (=
final fantasy VII run without any problems with epsxe ( also original german version ).
of course i searched the internet, but most of the related threads are for the pc version of the game and some kind of copy protection fix ( noCD.. ) or changing something int the windows registry. but that doesnt help me with the playstation version of the game. one guy had the same problem as i have, but found out that memory card slot 1 of the epsxe memcard is buggy ( unfortunately is saved the game on slot 1 at the first time, but after beating edea again and saving at slot 5 an d 9 didnt worked ).
if you need any more information, please let me know. i will provide information as good as i can. i am using windows 7 ultimate professional ( you might guess it - its an original version ^^ ).
greetings Conrad
