Final Fantasy VIII

Easy experience:
----------------
Equip one character with Auto-Haste, Initiative, and Junction 100 Pain spells 
to their attack. They will go first, and blind/poison/silence the target monster
(this works well against Behemoths). Have another character cast Zombie on the 
helpless monster, and have the third character use the Revive ability on the 
Zombied monster. Behemoths cannot see to counter attack, and Silence keeps them 
from using their high-level magic. In all Final Fantasy games, undead monsters 
are injured by curative magic, and killed by Life spells, Phoenix Downs, etc. 
Use this technique when fighting the Behemoths in the Deep Sea Research Center 
on the south-western-most corner of the world map to accumulate experience and 
build your characters. Note: This only works on monsters that are susceptible 
to Death magic. Bosses are immune to this trick, as are Ruby Dragons and Imps. 
Those opponents must be killed by traditional means; however the Diablos summon 
kills most Imps in one hit. 


HexCheat:

Submitted by: Duong Quoc Toan Capheden141

By using hex cheat,you can get 99 items of rank A or any rank you want 
each time you transfer Chocobo to your game.
First, open hexeditor,open a chocobo's save files in where you setup your 
FF VIII (example: C:\SquareSoft INC\FFVIII\), then in the first line, you 
will see the number of Item you can have at rank A, B, C D and also your 
hitpoints, current levels, etc... Change them to 99 and each time you 
transfer data, you will get any item you want.I dont remember exactly 
the address where HP, number Items and Level store, but i'm sure it 
extremly easy. You can find it by yourself


Defeating T-Rexaur:

When you travel past the balamb garden, you will encounter T-Rexaur, the 
dinosaur that is extremely strong in that garden. It's hit points is about 
11,000 whereas Squall's is just around 600-700. So this is very difficult 
to destroy him you may escape but your stats may go down. The T-Rexaur hits 
with its tail and bites his enemies that causes a considerable amount of 
damage say about 200-300 hit points. In order to defeat this bad one, just 
use the blind spell on him so that he becomes totally blind and again cast 
the sleep spell that makes him doze. Now summon the GF (Guardian Force) 
Leviathan that causes water damage and other GF which causes Ice damage 
(I forgot the name of the GF but you may know). This will kill him easily 
and you will get M-Stone Piece that contains high magical power. If more 
doubts persists, Mail me.

For unlimited free random items open and play Chocobo World 
after you've got your Chicobo and accumilate a few items 
(I sugest you get a few of each as it makes it easier). 
Then with Chocobo World (its best to go into the menu 
otherwise you may encounter problems if you accidently 
go into battle) still running open FFVIII and bring your 
Chicobo 'HOME' and you'll recieve some random items, then 
send you Chicobo to 'WORLD'. Press Alt-TAB to switch to 
Chocobo World and press Ctrl twice to go out and back into 
of the menu and you'll see you still have the items, so go 
back to FFVIII and just repeat the process as many times as 
you like as long as you don't bring you Chicobo 'HOME' 
without Chocobo World running.

NOTE: I sugest you save once in a while as this cheat may 
crash your game

Low level advantages:
---------------------
Since the enemies level up as you do, try to keep your level as low as possible
for easier battles. As long as your magic is good, defeating your opponents will
not be a problem. Draw high level magic when your level is low to increase your 
status. 


Increasing stats:
-----------------
You can increase all your stats by using GF Eden's Devour ability by eating 
the following:

Hp: Rinoa in Adel + 10 HP, Ruby Dragon + 10 HP
Str: T-Rexaur + 1 Str
Vit: Adamantoise + 1 Vit
Mag: Behemoth + 1 Mag
Spr: Malboro + 1 Spr
Spd: Pu Pu + 1 Spd 


Easy gil:
---------
Tonberry's Haggle and Sell High abilities as well as Carbuncle's Recovery Medicine
Refining ability must be learned for this trick. Obtain 75,000 gil and by 100 Tents
from any shop. Refine them into 25 Mega-Potions, which can be sold for 7,500 gil 
each. This results in a profit of 105,000 gil.

Build a high speed level, the Rare item ability, hit at 255%, and a high strength
stat. Go to Cactuar Island and fight Cactuars. You will usually acquire an item 
called Jet Engine, which can be sold for 150000 gil.


Ending scene:
-------------
Allow the credits to complete after the final FMV sequence to see Squall and Rinoa.


Quick movement in Balamb Garden:
--------------------------------
When first at Balamb Garden, after you give the tour to Selphie, approach the the
directory and press Action. When the directory screen appears, move the pointer 
to where to wish to go and press Action. You will appear in the hallway in front
of that location. Note: This only works at the beginning of the game.


GameTip:
--------
DO NOT GO ON TO THE TRAIN IN THE TOWN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE GOOD FIGHTING TOOLS

Hints 
-----
Draw, draw, draw. Always take the opportunity to siphon some of your enemy's 
power with at least one of your party members during a battle. You never know 
when your opponent is going to have something vital or cool. 

When you get a new party member, remember to junction a GF to him or her and try
to give the new member some abilities that will help you out in fights. For 
example, it helps if at least one person in your party can use the Item skill
in combat. 

When you're fighting the big monster boss at the top of the communication tower,
don't forget to draw on him. He has Siren, an important GF, and if you don't draw
it from him in that fight, you won't find it elsewhere in the game. 


Dancing soldiers on control panel:
----------------------------------
You can toy around a bit with the Missile Control Panel. Choose to go to the 
equipment inspection screen to see the equipment used by the Galbadian Army. 
Hold Triangle + Square and press Up or Down. The scene will switch to either
 a dancing Galbadian Soldier or Elite Soldier.

Get as many A items in Chocobo World and when you are satisfied load 
FF8 without closing Chocobo World, now go to the chocobo screen in the 
FF8 to load up the items, after loading the items up go back to the 
chocobo world screen using Esc+Ctrl+Alt and cycle through the screens 
to your items in chocobo world. Your items will still be there and you 
can repeat this many times and avoid the hard work of trying to gain 
items in chocobo world. This way you can get many rare items and update 
your gunblade faster and junction with rare magic such as ultima.

In 1st disk, after defeat the boss on the communication tower, u'll be given 30 
mins to run to the beach. But on the way there, u'll encounter a robot spider 
(i don't know it real name). This is a great chance to increase your GF's AP. 
This is the tip for u to get the AP. Firstly, remember to set your GF before 
going down the tower. When you encounter the spider, attack it until it is down,
then attack it until it stand up (if you wait for it to stand up, you won't get 
any AP), and knock it down again, then run. every time you do it, you 'll get 
50 AP. For 30 mins you can knock it 6-7 times, means 300-350 AP (such a lot huh?).


Hidden song:
------------
Place the game disc in an audio CD player and play track two to hear the 
song "Eyes On Me" by Faye Wong.


More HP: 
--------
Have magic Full-Life, learn GF HP-j and HP +80%. Equip Full-Life on HP Magic and 
have Ability HP +80% equipped. 


Low level advantages:
---------------------
Since the enemies level up as you do, try to keep your level as low as possible 
for easier battles. As long as your magic is good, defeating your opponents will 
not be a problem. Draw high level magic when your level is low to increase your 
status. 


Saving money:
-------------
This trick will save 50,000 Gil. When Balamb is under Galbadian control, go to 
Zell's room and save the game. Go to the Harbor. You will find a Tabloid Reporter 
hiding behind military vehicles. Pay him for all the information he has then reset
the game. You will have all the information, and still have your money. 


9999 Health:
------------
Get to level 43 or higher and draw or refine an item into 100 Curaga. Do not level 
up. Instead Junction 100 Curaga to HP. If you are not at 9999 HP, put on HP +20%, 
HP +40%, or HP +80 %.


Lunch Lady's kid:
-----------------
if you talked to the Lunch Lady to the left in the Garden, she will tell you about 
her son and how he went out on his own. You can actually meet him after the Boss 
Battle in FH (with BGH251F2). In this part of the game, you will be left alone. 
Meet up with Irvine at the top of the elevator, then go back the area where you 
just fought the Boss and talk to the teenager in yellow. 
If you ask if he is the Lunch Lady's son he will board the Garden.

Unlimited Rare Items:
--------------------- 
This is a hack, so create a back-up of your original file before you decide to alter 
it. Do not e-mail us with death threats if you mistakenly alter your FAT.
You must have ChocoboWorld in order for this to work. What do you do is play a bunch 
to get a lot of items on ChocoboWorld. Then instead of transfering the items immediately
to your party, save and quit the game and make a copy of chocorpg.* in the 
\...\Program Files\SquareSoft Inc\Final Fantasy VIII\Save directory. 
Copy the chocorpg.*, rename it, and place it somewhere else in your directory. When 
you load FFVIII and transfer all the items to your game, make sure the Chibocobo goes
back into the Chocobo world and is not with your party. Save and quit the game again.
Copy the chocorpg.* copy, rename it into chocorpg (you may have to delete the original
file before Windows allows you to do such a renaming) so you can reap the beneifits 
of one play of the ChocoboWorld.
