Final Fantasy 8 Remastered is an updated version of the PlayStation classic. Today, we prepare for our adventure by farming for some very powerful magics and abilities available from the beginning of the game. None of these tips require the use of the enhanced features or cheats that are included in the Remastered edition of the game.
1. I strongly advise completing the Fire Cavern before starting this farming (this ensures Ifrit receives the AP benefits).
2. Use the Queen of Cards in Balamb to establish the 'All' Trade Rule for the Balamb region.
3. Learn the GF abilities, Card Mod, T Mag RF, I Mag RF, & F Mag RF.
4. Start battling card players around Balamb Garden.
5. Profit!
Don't forget you can use the link below to find my full and complete walkthrough to Final Fantasy VIII which has strategies such as these and more to help you throughout the entire adventure!

To limit the amount of exp gain for your characters, try using the Card ability on the Fastitocalon. This prevents the earning of exp while allowing the AP for your GF's to build up. I am not certain that Carding the enemies gives the same AP as simple killing them, more research will have to be done.

My wife has been playing the remastered version since it came out. It looks like if you let the the timer for the fire cavern run out during the name screen, you DO NOT get any points. I guess it was a glitch they decided to correct when they updated the system for the remaster. Also, she noticed that if you use the card ability you can keep your levels low as you gain exp for every monster you kill. However, if you card the monsters, you can still gain the AP for your GFs but not gain exp/level up which, as we've all gradually learned over time, is better than simply leveling up because it also keeps the monsters you fight weak. So that's another reason aside from the mod feature. The biggest con to this is for when people are looking for specific items dropped by certain monsters as their drop rates varies (ex Adamantoise at level 30+ can drop more of Adamantine, which you need for Lionheart, rather than a lower level one).

@thedarksavior0 4 жыл бұрын

I highly recommend farming the Triface card once you've obtained Siren. One of them will refine into a Curse Spike, and with Siren's Status Magic refinement, turns into 10 Pains (A status effect that causes blind, silence and poison simultaneously). Use Siren's Status Attack Junction, and one of your characters can cause all three status ailments with every attack! :-)

I love the Junction system as a power up system and I love Triple Triad as both a mini game and a way of gathering magic for the Junction system! On my last playthrough I finished the game averaging level 15 amongst my main three, with stats like level 70+ characters in most RPGs. It's just a expansive and very unbalanced system and it's very fun to take advantage of that.

Better strategy when fighting the fastilicon fish is to use quezacolts Card command to turn them into cards. This gets you all the AP without experience. You could do this until the 3 GF have learned everything without gaining a single level. Ideally you get to the end of the game without any characters gaining a single level all game.

I can't remember which monster refines but it is also great for that.

I know a few ways to take it down to 0 HP multiple times within the 30 minute limit, but my favorite is to cast double on everyone, then 2x thundara. So you don't have to OP Squall to one-shot it with a limit break, or waste time with the Quetz animation.

During the exam in Dollet, keep Squall and Zell KOed. Use only Seifer and junction all 3 Guardian Forces to him, level him up so he can draw 4 -ra spells when he's around level 30s. Make sure that all party members (including Quistis, who isn't currently in the party, and Seifer himself, whose stocked spells will be inherited by Selphie later) get all ra spells by having Seifer draw them from G-Soldiers then give it to each party member before stocking the spellls himself. Then keep leveling him up until he's around level 60s so he can draw -ga spells, as well as Dispel from Elite Soldiers and Bio from Anacondaur. Again, make sure each of the 4 characters have these spells before you proceed to the Communication Tower where Seifer will leave you permanently. Also, make sure the GFs learn the prioritized abilities: the refine abilities, the J abilities, stat% abilities, etc; learn every GF abilities before bothering to learn GFHP and SumMag abilities (I very rarely, if ever, use summons; so these abilities aren't really important to me).

Hello, I'm new to your channel and I really appreciate your guides. I'm not sure if you have a guide for the card game, but it would be helpful if you could explain how to play the card game.

Years ago, when I was but a child circa '99, my mother used my grandfather's pc to print the entire online walkthrough for this game for me. Over the years, pages went missing and eventually I threw it away, but I surely do appreciate channels like your own that show us trucks that not even they knew back then!

If there were game stats after the credits I'm sure my most used command is gonna be Card. Also it was a great function for card kills not give xp, just perfect for low level runs.

Best tip I have is to get Quezacolts Card ability learnt first, once you have beaten Ifrit and left the fire cavern, save your game and go back in and "Card" Bombs. I usually card about 3-4 of them and they are fairly powerful Cards to start with in Garden, alongside the Ifrit Card it will make the first few games really simple and before you know it you will have all the powerful cards you need to farm for Items :)

good guide for starting off, i didnt have any trouble on my first run until i got to Ultimecia and she one shotted me with grievers death move =( my whole team was wiped and this might help me get there with better junctions on another low level game (do NOT overlevel or this really will be instant death when before she transforms the third time!) will use this to have a better shot at survivng that dang move and possibly sweeping her next time, i did not use these hints on my first run other than staying as low level as possible

I've been doing these methods since the 90s :P If you farm Ruby Dragon cards 10-1 refine into Inferno Fang and with F-Mag Ref they become 20 Flares. Keep it going till 100 on each char and junction to Str. Blitz cards 1-1 refine into Dynamo Stones which give 20 Thundagas with T-Mar Ref. Give whoever has Ifrit Str +20-40-60% and 100 Thundagas on Elem Atk. That character will normal hit X-ATM for 5.5-6k one shotting him assuming your around lv20ish. Makes farming him MUCH faster without having to sit through limit break animations.

Card grats to get shumi tribe cards...get 4 of them and card mod so u can teach both squall and quistis the card ability. Carding enemies gives ap but no exp allowing u to keep ur levels low. With both characters using card u can turn most anything into a card even at full hp.

@spccew9818 2 жыл бұрын

So you can card enemies at full hp? I always thought they had to be damaged slightly for card to succeed, which slowed me down since I had to find the right set up for say, Squall, to hit the enemy without killing them.

@frankrobinsjr.1719 4 жыл бұрын

I turn off encounters until I reach the wall of mountains when I first leave Balamb Garden. I want the blizzard, cure, and scan spells the glacial eyes give me. Later, I farm there for cards to get the Jumbo Cactuar boss card. It will really help during early card games. (If you are keeping your characters at a low level, don't junction any magic to strength. A a hit or two to anything in the grasslands and the character with card should be able to turn them without raising your level.)

@ryanolson303 4 жыл бұрын

One thing that helped me from the PS1 version with carding monsters at the beginning of the game sometimes they turned into rare cards rather than what they actually were. If I can remember correctly some of them were jumbo cactaur, shumi tribe and I think tri face. Don't quote me on that last one though.

When you first get to the bridge in dollet, equip all GFs to Seifer then kill off the other characters. You can then grind the troops on the bridge to max out the GFs levels and get a full stock of all the basic magic, including the -raga's for all characters. You can do this again later in the game when you get Edea to train the late game GFs.

I'm not sure if this was ever mentioned. But you can also get Chimera cards here. 10 Chimera Cards gets you 1 Regen King. If you learn the Life Refinement Ability from Siren, you can turn your Regen King to 10 Full Lifes. Which is one of the best magics to junction for you HP in the whole game.

Theres like 485 comments and its an old video so may have been mentioned, but during the seed test in dollet u can ko squall and zell and use seifer to grind for ap for the gfs so u can learn all the abilities and still keep all ur characters at the lowest level possible, also the enemies scale with his level so u can draw all the aga magics and give them to the main characters as a side bonus

I believe at some point I got zombie and Cura or even Curaga early on, and I remeber taking on the tyranosaur in the forest near balamb garden. This was to my knowledge the biggest damage output I found by accident, that I could do early on on a Zombiefied enemy and the Tyranosaur was the toughest one at the time.

Obel Lake and Pupu side quests might be a bit difficult for me as well since i never knew about them or how to trigger them when i was younger. my main goal is to actually beat the game myself and id like to take my time with the game :)

Yup. Did lv 100 in the forest before ifrit and also did a rush run when I was a kid. Probably played through 8 a dozen times. Low lv and cards is the easiest way but lv 100 is more fun and challenging. Also triple triad was great.

@georgeharris572 2 жыл бұрын

with the ALL rule and card mod you can really rack up some real stacks of cards. One thing I'm not sure of with the new remaster but happens on the original disks and the first remaster is that the rules will change after so many hands with the All rule, one by pass I found is to keep a count of how many times you played the same guy and when you are one to two hands from the switch if you hit another card player the All switch count will reset to one and last a few hands again. Another thing is try to farm for the Jumbo Cactuar card before going to farm cards, it really helps in the first stages of card farming before you can hunt for better cards (pre cc members quest) and you can get it as soon as you have Card (also going for this gets other cards, magics and other useful things that you miss just farming the beach plus it breaks up the monotony) and is easy to do before you go for the final test, but can even wait till you get back and have 3 guys in your party.

Yeah, growing up i would just grind trex in the garden area after the ifrit training so i could power him up while i did my 10 hour grind for ap and skill unlocks on them, then onto playing cards. Once you get em setup for the all rule and your emptying their hand each time, so many materials with card mod and my mom love the card game so she would just grind it while I was at school.

It's worth it to refine cards after you get ifrit in the fire cave so you can pick up the rare drop Krystal card from the bombs or buels. It's a really good card. Takes a little farming but if you pick one up it's really helpful
