Agh, man I just can't take this. I finally got back to the 4th disk in my FFVIII, and now I'm looking for the bosses so I can use my skills. I looked up where some of them where, but because of my character's levels, I don't know if I should continue. I could train at the island closest to hell, but that would still take me a while. Anyone got any advice? Because my impatiant nature and unrashinal mind is getting the better of me and saying I should start over again. NO! I will never restart, at least until I know I can't continue. Please keep me from doing something stupid. T.T And I even managed to get the ultimate weapons as well...HALLLLP!!!
Typical Boss Fight in Final Fantasy VIII GF Mash Square GF Mash Square GF Mash Square GF Mash Square GF Mash Square GF Mash Square OR Cast Aura Limit Cast Aura Limit Cast Aura Limit Cast Aura Limit Cast Aura Limit Cast Aura Limit Doesn't matter what you do,you're not gonna have much trouble.
1. Boost is an ability and the only ability you need. You can get it fairly early in the game for every GF except for Diablos, Carbuncle, Cerberus and Cactaur. It basically boost the amount of damage your GF's do by mashing the square button during the long animation. GF compatibility plus boost causes an asston of damage. As for the limit breaks? The chances of Renzouken happening all depend on Crisis levels but the finisher itself (Blasting Zone, Rough Divide, Lion Heart) All depend on the weapon that you're using. Lionheart (Squall's ultimate weapon) gives you a 25% chance of getting all of his limits. If you don't have Lionheart yet, you might as well get it. If you're up for a challenge then by all means level up, but the game is generally a lot easier when you stay at a low level and just junction all the god tier spells Also if you have the Angelo card, refine it. 99 Megaelixirs is a lot more valuable then a ****ing card
I just got Rinoa's ultimate weapon, so now I've got them all. But I didn't know it had to do with the Crises level. I mean, I knew it helped with the time for Zell's limit, but I didn't think it was for Squall as well. But I know what boost does, but shouldn't you get something in the corner of the screen with the square button? I don't get anything. But boost is only 10 AP, so I usually get it right away to just get it done. Apparently the strongest you can get is with Eden and getting 250 mashing the square button can get you 60000, which is the most you can possibly do in damage. I'm thinking of getting Eden just for accomplishment, but I don't want to fight Ultimate Weapon. I probably would die really quickly. And I don't think I have the good tier spells. I've been trying to get things like Ultima, Flare, Meteor and stuff, but I can't get a good chance. You can get meteor from Behemoths and Ruby Dragons but they take so much damage. I managed to get 100 Holy for Squall from an Ability, but now I don't have any moon stones. I really need to look where to get these things for the next time I play this game.
- You have to hold the select button pushed to see the instructions about square mashing appear on screen when summoning a GF. - Ultimecia summons 3 random party members, if she summons useless members just kill them yourself and wait until they' re replaced with new, hopefully useful, members. Wait until you have the right party before fighting her cause the more you hurt her the tougher she gets. - The ultimate spells can all be drawn from invisible draw points on the map (island closest to hell/heaven, the no fight ability helps a lot for that). There' s also a paying ultima draw point at the Shumi Tribe village. Now that you' re lv 99 you can probably see that almost none of your stats are even close to the max (255) except your HP (9999), even when junctioned to your best magics, right ? Well now you know why I told you to use the stat boosting abilities at lv up when grinding. If you had you' d have 255 in 3 or 4 stats just junctioning lame magics to them, letting you junction ultima and co to other stats (like, say, speed) - If you have the Laguna card it can be refined into 99 objects that put any character in an INVINCIBLE state for several turns, if there' s any enemy in the game you don' t manage to beat using this you' re beyond helping. ^^ - Forget Eden or any GF, just spam Squall, Zell or Irvine limit breaks. If you have Squall' s best weapon pray for his last limit break to come up (it does around 180000 damage, but if you' re lv 99 you' ll have to throw several of those to bring Ultimecia down, she over 1000000 HP, maybe even more than 2000000) What I did was keep Squall constantly near dying in Aura state, spaming limit breaks, have Rinoa constantly healing herself and Zell/Irvine (or getting her and him invincible) since this helps surviving Utimecia' s mid-fight nervous breakdown, and have Zell/Irvine casting Aura or Booster, resurrecting Squall or using limit breaks. While Zell or Irvine' s HP have almost no influence over their limit breaks Squall' s limit break gets tougher when he' s badly hurt. Actually Quistis is a better choice than Rinoa as a healer since she can throw her Mighty Guard limit break, but meh, as long as you keep a healer character ready to heal and doing nothing else (just in case) you should be fine.
actually, Squall's attack is at 252, I have Rinoa's at 255, Selphie will probably get that high too, Zell was close to 255 but I can't remember exactly because I haven't used him in a while, and same goes for Irvine. And I don't care too much for Quistis. Only thing she's been good for is killing the monsters on Island Closest to Hell to level up Rinoa and Selphie.
