Hints, Tips and bonuses for Final Fantasy 8

Here in this page, you will be able to find cheats and hints on FF VIII, updated about once every month. Note that the tips below are NOT gameshark, action reply codes in any form.

Easy Gil trick (1) - by Patricia.666

Go to Winter Island , Mug Mesmerizes until you have 100 Mesmerize Blades. Use the Recov-Med-RF (Carbuncle ability) and turn 50 of them into 100 Mega potions.

Sell them for 750000 and do the same with the other 50 that equals about 1,500,000.

Easy Gil trick (2)

Sometimes you just got to cheat a little. The 20,000 gil that you get per paycheck is not really that great. Want something that gives you really a lot?

You must have gotten Carbuncle's Recover Med-RF for this trick to work. Tonberry's Haggle, Sell High and Call Shop are extremely useful in this trick. Try this:

1. Buy 100 tents and 100 cottages
2. Use Recover Med-RF to refine both these items to Mega-Potions.
3. Sell all the Mega-Potions.

Let's calculate the profits (assuming that you have both Sell High and Call Shop). 100 tents and 100 cottages will cost you 225,000 Gil. They can be refined into a total of 75 Mega-Potions, which can fetch a price of 7500 Gil each, bringing it up to a total of 562, 500 Gil! Profit= 337,500 Gil! Repeat as often as you wish. ;-)

Selphie; the best thing about her

One thing I learnt is that Selphie is indeed the cheapest and MOST powerful character when it comes to bullying and abuse! While its true that she may have some of the lowest stats at Lv.100, but hey, she's got the most powerful limit break "The End" that can kill ANYTHING.

Ever encountered that Omega Weapon or any other enemy and had a load of trouble defeating them? Try this in battle when you want to kill an irritating enemy like Omega Weapon.

1. Lower Selphie to critical.
2. Execute her "Slots" limit break.
3. Open your Playstation lid. (The game will "freeze" upon this)
4. Take your OWN SWEET time to scroll through her slots until you see "The End" and select it.
5. Close back your Playstation lid.
6. Enemy dead.

Note that when you open the CD lid, the game will have a "freeze" but it will NOT cause your game to hang. So what does this conclude? Selphie is the cheapest character in FF8!

Rosetta Stones

Always admired the ability of Bahamut of Ability x4? Wow! That's a powerful skill that each of your characters should have. The good news is that Rosetta Stones give a single GF learn the AWESOME ability of Ability x4! Let every character be equipped with the Ability x4 skill!

Where to find Rosetta Stones....
1. Disc 2 Desert Prison
After Squall and the rest are caught after disc 1, your team are placed in the desert prison in the beginning of Disc 2. As your team tries to escape, you should come across 2 card players who would play with you when you pay them money for each game. One charges 200 gil and the other 500 gil. Go to the 200 gil one and keep playing cards until you win. Each time you win, he will give a random item. If you are lucky, you can get your 1st Rosetta stone here!

2. Esthar City
You can get your second Rosetta stone (FREE) when you visit Esthar for the first time by repeating visiting the closed shop owned by Cheryl.

3. Refine from Dark Matters/Shaman Stones
Encounter Tri-faces from the underwater research center after you defeat Bahamut and steal Curse Spikes from them. You should be able to mug 6 spikes each time or 8 on rare occasions. After you collect 100 of them, refine them into 1 Dark Matter using Siren's Tool-RF. Note that Siren must be at level 100 to do the conversion.

Now refine 1 Dark Matter into 1 Shaman Stone from Siren's Tool-RF again. Now using Eden's GFAbI Med-RF, refine 1 Dark Matter into I Rosetta Stone! There you go! It may be a lot of hard work, but its worth the effort to get the bonuses!

XAMT-092 AP cheat

Defeating XAMT-092 in the Dollet field test allows you to gain 50 AP which I'm sure most of you guys already know how to. Well, how about gaining another 200 or more AP from him?

Here's how you do it....
Provided that your GF levels are high (about 10 at that point of time), use Quezacotl with boost to deal about 1000+ worth of damage on that robot. Deal another 500 or so points of damage and XAMT-092 will start to repair itself. While it is repairing itself, use your GFs every turn to deal another 5000+ points of damage until the robot starts to stand up. When he stands up, deal another 1500+ points of damage to bring him down again. Now, RUN away from the battle and you should gain 50 AP after the battle. You can repeat this as long as the timer allows.
