Easy Limit Breaks Get into a battle, and wait until all characters time bars are full. Then keep hitting CIRCLE (TRIANGLE in the Japanese version) and eventually Squall or Zell will have use of their limits. (Thanks to ALMEHDA@aol.com)
Guardian Forces The following is a list of ways to get several guardian forces throughout the game: (Thanks to ktmarc@USWEST.net)
The Brother First, you must go to the Unknown King’s Tomb. There will be two brothers-the younger brother will be on the right. Go and fight him. The first time you fight him, he will run away. After he runs away, head north, open the water gate, and open the door on the far left. Then you are able to enter the tomb at the center. The Brothers are waiting inside. When you get inside the tomb, go and battle them. If you win, they will come to your side as a Guardian Force.
Quetzalcoatl You will not need to find this Guardian Force called Quetzalcoatl during the game. You’ll already have him on Squall’s computer desktop at the beginning of the game!
Shiva This is the same as the case with Quetzalcoatl-she will be on Squall’s computer desktop at the beginning of the game.
Ifrit To obtain the Guardian Force known as Ifrit, you must go to the cave west of the Balamb Garden. Fight and win all battles along the way. At the end of the coarse, Ifrit will be waiting for you. Battle him and win, and Ifrit will be your newest Guardian Force.

Diablos To obtain the GF known as Diablos, you must win your first SeeD mission. After that, Cid will be waiting for you outside. He will hand you a magic lamp. After that, use the lamp. Diablos will come out and fight you. If you win, you will obtain Diablos.

Then talk to the column, answer questions 1 and 2 to fight two dragons, then answer question 3 and Bahumat will appear. If you win, you will obtain him!
Grasharaboras To obtain the GF known as Grasharaboras, you must first get Solomon’s ring from tear’s point. Then get 6x iron pipe, 6x tentacles, and 6x remedy plus, and then use the ring. Grasharboras will appear and be obtained by you!
Sabotendar To obtain the GF known as Sabotendar, you must find a small remote island by Ragnakok, and chase the giant green spot. It is tough and can do many great hits. It’s weak point is water. So Levithan works fine with it. Defeat him and obtain him!
Odin To obtain the GF known as Odin, you must go to a disserted (easiest with the Raganorak) continent close to Edea’s house. There you will find a building in the shape of a diamond. Enter it and a timer will begin. Solve the puzzle and fight Odin. (During your search he will speak but it doesn’t mean anything. Also you will find 2 gargoyles with one missing eye. Take the eye from the first one you see and put it into the second one at the top of the staircase for the code. Then take both eyes back and place them back into the first one you saw to activate the code. A door will open and you will then fight Odin, who is not very hard). (Thanks to Naughtydog22@hotmail.com)
Doomtrain Get Item “Solomon’s Ring” from Tears Point before Lunatic Pandora is summoned. (A good time to get this Item is right before when you are supposed to meet Dr. Odine at the Launch Pad). Once getting this item “Mug” Marlboros outside the Sorceress Shrine until you have 6 Marlboro Tentacles (Marlboros are also at the Island Closest to Heaven) Then buy 60 Remedies and use Alexander’s “Med-Lev Up” Skill to make 6 Remedy + ’s. Next you need 6 Iron Pipes. These can be “Mug”ed from the Yellow/Green Monkey enemy outside Deling. If you don’t have these and you can’t get back to Deling you may have to wait until after you have the Ragnarok to get them. After getting all the Items (6x Remedy + ’s, 6x Iron Pipes, 6x Marlboro Tentacles and 1x Solomon Ring) use the Solomon Ring from the Item Menu and you will receive DOOMTRAIN. (Thanks to Naughtydog22@hotmail.com)

Quick AP Gain To gain fast AP go to Cactaur Island south of Esthar to fight cactaurs. Each cactaur you kill gives you 20 AP. (Thanks to eric4790@aol.com)
GF Boost If you have a GF who has learned “Boost,” this trick will work. While your GF is about to appear on the screen, hold down “Select” and you should see a hand pointing a finger on the “Square” button and a number next to it. Keep holding “Select” and rapidly hit “Square” This will raise that number which means more damage to the enemy. But make sure you stop when an X appears over the hand. If you don’t, the number will start back at the beginning. Wait for the X to go away and repeat the process. The higher the number reached, the more damage caused.
Mini-Mog (POCKETSTATION NEEDED) Receive Mini-Mog during “Chocobo Adventure” Pocket Station Mini-game.
Mumba (POCKETSTATION NEEDED) Defeat “Chocobo Adventure” Pocket Station Mini-game.
Infinite Items with a Pocketstation If you have Final Fantasy 8(US), a Pocket Station and a Memory Card, you can use the Pocket Station game, Chocobo World, to get Infinite Items. Just do the following:
- 1. Download the Chocobo World game from Final Fantasy 8 onto your Pocket Station, (Downloaded after you have caught a Chocobo.)
- 2. Start playing through Chocobo World, collecting as many items as you can.
- 3. Once you have the items you want plug the Pocket Station and the Sony Memory Card into your PlayStation, go to the internal memory card manager and save Chocobo World into the Sony Memory Card (Warning: it takes 7 blocks of memory to store).
- 4. Start playing your Final Fantasy 8 game with the file that you have caught a chocobo with, go to the game menu and choose , get to the menu. You can then transfer the items into your FF8 game, choose the option to take Boco(the character you play Chocobo World with) home, which also lets you transfer all the items you have collected in the Pocketstation game into the Final Fantasy 8 game, and then choose the option to send Boco into the Pocket Station game again. NOW, get to the option on the Final Fantasy 8 game to see all the items you got from the Pocket Station.
- 5. Now comes the Infinite Item part of this cheat. Get to the Memory Card Menu again, but this time copy the Chocobo World files that are inside the Sony Memory Card back into your Pocket Station, and then do step 4 (transferring items into FF8) over and over again to, finally, get Infinite Items.
- Note : You can do this to get 16 or more Mini-Mog abilities for all your GF’s to use, just find Mini-Mog inside the Pocket Station game and then just do the transferring cheat mentioned again to do it over and over.
Quicker Limit Breaks When your health is low you will not always get a limit break. To ensure that you do, wait for the target character’s turn and hit O repeatedly. This should ensure the Limit Break activation.
The Balamb Card Club Group The Card Club Group is a group of people from Balamb Garden who play cards. You can get rare cards from some of them. This is the order you must beat them in and their location. They appear later in the game.
- 1)Jack- Hanging around the location board in the main hall. (he’ll tell you who he is).
- 2)Crab-He walks out of the car park area.
- 3)Diamond-2 girls walking toward the location board in the main hall. (wait for them to stop).
